NO CABLE?

Tim and I made a huge decision when we moved into our new place. To break up with our faithful friend the television. We decided that we would not subscribe to cable. The cable company must have sensed our plan, because they hooked us up with cable. We received a cute little note in our mailbox. "Welcome to your new home. Your cable is already set up for you." We thought to ourselves hmmm, okay that's nice, we will get a couple of days with our friend before the break up. We even put the TV in the bedroom (we were painting the living room). This meant that early in the morning at 7am, I was watching Dawson's Creek and Jessica Simpson. I felt like I was living in a hotel. As much as we have adored our friend the TV, it was never allowed to join Tim and I in the bedroom!
The one day it happened, with no warning. I was planning on watching a new episode of House. I was on my way home, called Tim about our dinner plans and he broke the news to me. They shut the cable off. No note, no call, just like that, gone! We were going to do the dumping and then bam we get dumped. We had no plan, no back up video to get us thru the night!
