Dead Modems, Fried Phones and 2 years Today........

Well, my modem died. One minute it was working, and I was in Message Board bliss and then next, annoying error message sound and "Can not connect to server" screaming at me from my monitor. Reboot computer....nope, that didn't work.....Turn off modem, leave off for a few minutes.....nothing, call AT&T, spoke with a very nice man, but I could hardly understand him. Go through the check list, unplug, plug back in....nothing, turn modem off (hello dude, already did that)...leave off for 5 minutes and he was counting. Turn back on....nothing....push little red reset button on modem, nope, nada, zip! Modem is offically dead.

And to add insult to injury my phone died too. I guess it was morning the loss of the modem, who knows, but the phone died too. So off to Best Buy me and Chris went. Picked up a new modem, new cordless phone with 2 extra handsets (one for the bedroom and one for the project room), and an 80 gb external hard drive....oh and the new Linkin Park CD - which is awesome! So now, I am back online and can also talk on the phone. Wooohoooo! Also, our new phone has some pretty interesting features. I personally like the "room monitoring" function. You can call another one of the handsets and listen to what is going on in the room that handset is in...pretty fun! However, it's not like you can go un-noticed. The handset you are calling rings.....not much for the element of surprise!

Wow, I can't believe that it's been two years since Chris and I got married. Seems like yesterday, and then again it seems like we have been together forever. We were going to celebrate with dinner and a movie over the Memorial Day weekend, however, I wasn't feeling very well, so we are going to celebrate next weekend.
