I finally "bit the bullet" and signed up for Internet service at my house. I have actually been wanting to do this for quite some time, but until now just didn't have the start-up funds. Now I do, and it's so nice to be able to sit in my own living room and go on the Web.
Now, I don't have to wait until I get into town to surf for alli reviews or read my sister's blog, or connect with friends or family on a particular social networking site. I can do all this from the comfort of my own home.
Of course, I'll still carry my laptop with me when I go to town in case I want to connect to the free wifi there. But at least now I don't have to make an extra trip to do that, or feel like I have to stay in town more hours than I'd like after work. The money I save in gas should more than pay for the home-based Internet service.
