I'm connected!

Hooray--the internet modem came in the mail this afternoon, so now I am connected to the internet at my very own house!!! How convenient. Now I have all of the amenities of home--except for a dishwasher, but I'm getting used to that role. Today while I was at the coffee shop, this real, true-to-life nun walked in! These funny people at the coffee shop were asking her if they could take her picture by the Coke machine and all of this crazy stuff like that, but she really seemed to enjoy it. She ordered an orange creamsicle drink, similar to my vanilla bean drink--also a non-coffee beverage. I'm glad that I won't have to go to the coffee shop to use the internet anymore, because just before I left today, the explitives guy from the other day came in and started talking to me again--this time about animal testing on mice. Luckily there was a nice lady from California sitting by me, who I had been talking to earlier, and the explitives guy could see that I was already talking with someone, so he didn't chat as long as he did (or use as many explitives) the other day. This afternoon I fell asleep on my bed, and then I heard Dixie outside barking and carrying on. She was growling at someone, and I heard a guy saying, "Get away from me!" Then I heard a package dropped at my door, so I realize now that it was the UPS guy delivering my modem--poor guy. At least we know that Dixie truly is a good guard dog. She has decided that she likes to sleep on my welcome mat outside the front door. Well, I just thought I'd share the good news that I now have access to the internet at my house--hooray!
