Waiting for the Cable Guy

I'm sitting here waiting for the satellite man to come. I'm upgrading my satellite receiver to a DVR. This past Monday, hubby and I went to Milwaukee with his brother and wife for a Brewers baseball game and I was going to miss the season premier of "The Closer". I love that show! Lo and behold, Andy, hubby's brother, has a DVR receiver and was able to record it for me and then have his daughter put it on a DVD for me. "How cool is that?", I thought. So, I called DirectTV and, since I am such a "Great Customer", they are upgrading my system for free. Well, not so free, after all. I had to commit to keeping my dish subscription for two years. Since we live out in the country, otherwise known as "cable wasteland", there is no fear of not wanting satellite TV anytime soon. However, they said the guy would be here between 8 and noon. It is now 11:45 and where the heck is he?!? I have quilting to do! Didn't want to head for the studio because I am home alone with noone to hear him knock over the sound of the machine running.

Speaking of quilting, I am so seriously behind. Mark's parents were both diagnosed with colon cancer in the last month. We've been through three surgeries between the two of them and my father-in-law is about to start chemotherapy. Fortunately, I have loving, and very patient customers. If you are a customer and you are reading this, let me just say that you are wonderful and I so much appreciate your patience and understanding as I play "catch-up".

SO....thanks for "listening". It's 11:55 and I am heading for the studio. Guess my DVR will show up when it feels like it. Have a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Piecin' Love,

Terri
