Like Living On the Prairie Only Less Drafty and Less Work
Holy crap! We were without high speed internet for a day and a half and I nearly lost my mind. Apparently, cable service can be interrupted when there are rapid changes in temperature. I'm not sure that's not just an excuse for crappy service, but I have no choice but to believe them. Anyway, without my internet, my thoughts turned to things like making candles from the beeswax I collected from the hive in the tree in the front yard, or making soap from the fat of the cow we just slaughtered and lye from the ashes from our wood burning stove, or making a doll from a log and piece of yarn ma had left over. Then I realized I have none of those things. What was I to do with all this god forsaken time on my hands? What? What? Read a book? No. Clean the house? No. No. What? What? I ended up killing zombies thanks to our fabulous Wii and a shiny copy of Resident Evil 4. Now that our internet is back, I'm feeling much better.

I'm with you on this one. I would probably have to be hospitalized or severely medicated without my internet. Thankfully, you are back to normal.
It's back but I'm still wearing my bonnet and prairie dress just in case it goes out again.
It's probably the lack of coffee, but I read that as "my thoughts turned to things like making undies from the beeswax I collected..."
Can we call you Honey Pants?
But you DO make quilts Ma, don't forget. I'm crying from laughing at the image of you in a prairie dress and bonnet. Kind of like when Jethro Bodine on The Beverly Hillbillies would dress up as his sister Jethrine.
Yes, Scott, please do call my Honey Pants. I'm going to search the web for beeswax undies and see what I come up with.
MnMom- were you picturing the dress a little shorter than it should be with my hairy Hobbit legs sticking out and some sensible shoes?
Ewwwwww on the beeswax undies - unless you make them taste like those plastic lips we used to but at Ben Franklin.
MG - yes! exactly!
