MIA

I haven't posted anything on this blog in over a month. I can't believe that. The reason may be that in order to get on the internet I have to stand in my closet where my desktop is crammed right now. The laptop fell on the floor a little while back and was unrepairable. We were able to get all the information/files off of it which I am grateful for. But I am waiting for a time when I feel particularly rich before I buy another expensive electronic device to which my children are inexplicably attracted to like magnets. So who knows when that will happen.
In the mean time, I am enjoying my spare time doing things other than surfing the net. I have been outside more, reading more magazines & even some books, visiting more friends & neighbors, catching up on 'DVR'ed House reruns and falling in love with The Mentalist. It has been great weather - cool temps - some rain - and so I have nothing to complain about there. I am on medication that makes me pretty tired, so I will plan on having a pretty relaxed summer sitting on the back patio watching the kids and their friends play in our new treehouse/swingset thing. I will probably be sitting in the ghetto camping chairs again this year. An outdoor dining table & chairs is still a little bit low on the list of "to do" around here. I think we will work on some landscaping first so that we actually have something nice to look at while we lounge.
