No Internet

August 11, 2014 | blogging, technology

Hey guys! Sorry for the MIA. If you have been following on Twitter, Instagram, or my Facebook page you know we have been busy moving…and busy NOT having internet (thanks AT&T!) Yall, it’s ridiculous how many times we have been lied to by them over the past week. I still have NO idea when we will be getting internet, so I got as much work done yesterday as I could while we still had access to our rental for the last day. Please hang with me this week as posting may be sporadic. I promise to come back with house pictures and such!

Just to give you an idea of how angry I was on Thursday….Bobby took this photo of me on the phone with AT&T Uverse, trying to understand a woman who did NOT speak English telling me they couldn’t give me an installation date due to a problem at a local facility….whatever that means. Oy.

Not too flattering I know, but just keeping it real. On to happy things!

I have a couple of giveaway winners to announce! First, the custom tutu. Remember, if you didn’t win, just contact Leslie and tell her you found her from my blog and she will give you FREE SHIPPING!

Winner is: Andee Thompson Hodo. Please email me at throughheatherslookingglass@gmail.com to claim your prize!

Next up is the Balance bar and Wal-Mart gift card giveaway winner: Amanda Stevens. Please email me to claim your prize!

I will continue to post from my phone via my social media accounts, so I will be around, and will be helping my clients with their vacations as well, so no worries anyone! Have a great Monday, hopefully I can rejoin the online world from my laptop soon.

QOTD: Have you had issues with internet installation before? Seems like it’s a rampant problem!

    Sorry to hear about all the internet trouble! Hopefully it’ll get installed soon! We went a week without internet when we moved last month, and daily trips to Starbucks or Panera became my saving grace. With a phone that’s over two years old and super slow, I felt so disconnected from the rest of the world other than the hour or two I got to spend online each day.

    That picture is hilarious – mainly because it is soooo stinkin’ true! Internet and cable installations are the biggest pains in the butt ever!

    We have definitely had our fair share of AT&T problems. Their customer service isn’t great…that is for sure. My husband handles any issues with AT&T because I have a short fuse with them LOL!

    Oh no I hope you get your internet situation figured out! I don’t know what I’d do without it!

      still don’t have it!

    Don’t know if you’re planning on using AT&T for both cable and internet, but if you have the chance to reconsider and use Comcast (or anyone else in your area) I would. We like their cable, but their internet is no bueno… especially if you want to stream anything! If you have anything recording on the DVR, it uses all the internet bandwidth to do that, so if you want to stream something while the DVR is recording, good luck. Plus, we have inconsistent speed even when we’re not using the DVR/cable.
    My husband used to have DirectTV and Comcast and we wish we could switch back. I mean, it’s just a first world problem, so it’s not like you won’t survive if you can’t switch, but I do not like spending money and getting crappy service, and personally, I would rather have good internet and crappier cable than vice versa. Perhaps they have better service in MS, though…

    Sorry, I’m ranting, but the point is I know how you feel! Good luck and congrats on the move!

      we had uverse in our old neighborhood for internet and cable via underground fiber optics and it worked well, but their customer service stinks! I was just informed comcast isn’t available on our new street yet 🙁

    Oh my goodness have I ever! When I moved to my new place, I contacted my service provider (verizon) and asked to transfer services. They took my address and scheduled a date to come out. They went to my old address THREE TIMES. Then proceeded to tell me that they couldn’t install services in my new house because they didn’t have services available out there. (You would think they’d figure this out when I first gave them the address). Then they subsequently charged me $250 cancellation fee when I cancelled my service to get a different provider who did have service available in my area. Apparently, I’m only supposed to move to houses where Verizon has service!

    So sorry for your issues! I hope yours get resolved easier than mine did!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻
