Hi there...just wanted to say "hi!" It seems like it's been a long time since I've posted but it's really only been since Saturday! Guess the reason it feels so much longer is probably because I hadn't even logged in to the computer in two days. The main reason was because Glen shampooed the carpet TWICE in the family room. Oh Lordy did it need it. The carpet in here is white Berber and it shows EVERYTHING! It was here when we moved in and for the life of me, I will never understand why a person would ever choose to lay down white carpet in a room with doors to a garage, laundry room, bathroom, kitchen AND back yard?! Crazy!!!
The other reason, I haven't been too inclined to log in is because...because...oh...I'm holding back the tears of joy here...is because this Saturday we are getting high speed connection! Hallelujah... hallelujah! I can literally hear angels singing! We're also getting cable so that will be a big huge change in our house too. We may be wearing a few new butt grooves into the couch. Ahh...feels good to be a part of the 21st Century! :-)
So I've had a few days off of work, including today. I've been trying to catch up on some house stuff and desperately trying to do some artsy stuff but not having too much luck with that. I got caught in that glorious trap of re-arranging and re-organizing my little studio. I did get a LO set up and a page prepared in my heART journal. So some progress has been made! Also spent some time with the fam. Miranda and I did some thrift store shopping yesterday and made a few good finds. We also watched a couple of movies over the weekend. We rented "You've Got Mail." I'd never seen it and seems like lots of people were referencing it lately. It was very cute. Then Sunday night we went to see "Crank." It was okay I guess. Lots of great action but some not so great action. I LOVE Jason Statham (he also did the "Transporter" movies) but I'm not recommending this one.
Okay I'm off for some fun fun fun....see ya!
Oh my goodness. Can't believe it--cable TV--Whoohoo! A&E, The History Channel, Animal Planet, National Geographic, "Monk" on the USA Network, etc. Coincidentally, I also finally signed up for high speed internet. Installed it last Thursday. You will love it sooooo much. And I love you sooooo much.

Funny, I'm getting rid of my cable tv channels now that I've started school and NOW that I've been gifted with a lovely little rent increase. But you bet your life I'm keeping my high-speed internet -- it's my lifeline!! I'm so glad to hear you've had some days off of work. I'm having one as I sit here in the library typing this to ya. Liking it so much I called in sick (cough, cough) for yesterday!
Love Yous

Mercy, I had no idea that you weren't on high-speed. You are gonna love it. It sure spoils you quick. You sure do have a honey, mine won't even do the yard much less the carpet. I have him so spoiled.
