Comcast, AT&T, and headbands.
So we don’t have cable/internet currently. Yesterday Gray and I decided to call Comcast about cutting off our cable and he asked what our options were to keep the internet with them. It would be over $60 starting in September to keep cable internet and I told him it was too much. AT&T currently has a deal for 12 months to pay around $35 and then it will go up to $50 at the end of a year. Yes, they only offer DSL, but we were hoping to switch to the AT&T U-verse cable when it became available to our area of town.
Well, after canceling with Comcast (which we loved, just not their prices), we headed over to AT&T to sign up for their DSL. After what seemed like forever it was discovered that the wiring of our apartment building needed upgrading and so it will be a week, maybe longer before it will be offiicially hooked up for us. This means not internet at home until then. I think this is a good thing for us because so often the internet gets in the way of us spending time together. Gray and I are both constantly connected and now he’ll only be able to check his e-mail via the iPhone and I will be reading more. I even pulled out the Wii Fit yesterday and used it! Granted, I used it a few days ago because I bought myself the new Wii Fit Plus disc and now I’m addicted to juggling, seriously.
Anyway, I think it will be a nice break for us and I’m hoping to get a lot done at home, mainly reading the huge stack of books that I’ve been meaning to! I finished “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter” yesterday and now I’m working on “Anne of Ingleside” and “Twilight,” for the second time. Yes, Twilight again, because I’m reading through the series again. heh
In other news, I’m going shopping with Trina this afternoon and I’m already making a list in my head of things to buy. For one: new nail polish but the old bottle is seriously almost dry. Two: some new Old Navy camis. I have a coupon to get five for $2 each, today through Sunday and yes, I am getting all five, different colors. I hope they are well stocked! It’s been nice to think about finally indulging myself, like I talked about yesterday with the nail salon coupon. I’m very picky how I spend the money, but I’ve noticed it’s been more on girlie items like a new purse, headband, and of course, the nail salon services. I guess when I have money, I choose to be pampered!
On a side note: I’m going to dust off the review blog soon for some books I’m reading, but I might also post a few movie reviews. I just saw “Percy Jackson…” and it was pretty good! Watching “The Visitor” right now and enjoying it as well.

@Samantha, The Old Navy coupon I got from all the frugal/coupon blogs I follow, they've all done it. If you follow my google reader I shared it, otherwise google it, I guess? You should follow my google reader though because I constantly share deals from them and other places i find.

Hey!! I just saw you on 20sb and saw you were from TN too. So I had to drop by. Love the blog. When I saw Gray, I thought of Gray from Catch and Release? It's a good movie, but anyway, hope you're having a lovely day!!

@Taylor, Sweet! I did watch the movie, but I barely remember much about it. I do think it's funny though because my husband is Gray and his dad is Grady.
Thanks for stopping by!
