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!

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
