So my very spendy husband said to me the other night (when I was nearly asleep in my chair), "Why are we spending $60 a month on phone and DSL? We only get the phone line so we can have the DSL, and we could get shiny, speedy cable Internet for way less than $60."
Me: "Ummmmmm but DSL used to be cheeper?"
Him: "See, the cable company website has this $30 a month for 6 months offer. We'll be moving in about 7 months, so we can just cancel when it goes up."
Me: "Ummmmmmmmm"
Him: "We'll call tomorrow and switch. Then we'll be saving $30 every month."
Me: "Ooookaaaaaay...."
Him: "And we can get free Cinemax from Dish Network because we have paperless billing, so I called and signed us up for that, and then set the DVR to record a bunch of movies, so we can watch them when we have friends over or are looking for something to do."
Me: "Sounds .... good....?"
Him: "Ooooooh. . . IPod Touch....."
Me: "No."
Woo hoo, maybe it wasn't all a dream.
