This is getting old…I don’t like it when things don’t work like they are supposed to. The comcast man is coming today to figure out why this computer is not living up to it’s expected perfection. Since I am sure that I could not be doing anything wrong (cause Alex said so) it must be the comcast folks causing my distress. ‘Cause, remember…I went to the computer store and got to pay them 50 bucks to tell me that my laptop was OK.

This crazy thing will jump on the internet for about 10 minutes or less…then it is gone again. This is quite annoying. Hope I can get this posted before it is goes away…TTYS…hopefully!

YIKES!!!!! It’s coming true!!!!!
My computer service or my computer or the air over my house or something is causing me to not be able to use my computer when I need to. So, I am hoping I can get this post out to you so that you will not think I have flown the coop. I will be back with exciting information and fascinating topics as soon as I can. At least I am getting a lot of packing done since I can’t check up on all my bloggy friends! TTYS!

Have you seen these yet? Well, run…don’t walk…to your nearest grocery store and pick up some. They are soooo good! There are several different varieties…but the one I recommend is triple chocolate. Did you hear that…TRIPLE chocolate! And look at the funky colors. They look like they have been sponge painted with metallic paints. Now, they don’t have the crunchy coating like regular M&M’s. Just good chocolaty smoothness! Get some today…you won’t be sorry.
FYI…in my town I found them at Target and Wal Mart South. Enjoy!

Isn’t this the neatest picture? I do not know who the photographer is, but this photo speaks volumes about the photographer as artist. Magical!

CHALLENGE # 2
Sharon tagged me to name 6 random things about my self….so, here goes…
1. I love to read…but do not always have time to read. At the present time, I have about 25 books that I have bought and are just waiting for me to find time for them.
2. I am lactose intolerant. So, milk does a real number on me if I consume it. I don’t like it to drink…but, I do like an occasional bowl of cereal. So, I have to want it really bad…cause I will invariably suffer the consequences.
3. I have kept every card and letter sent to me over the past 20 years. It is fun to go back and reread these and remember the people who sent them.
4. I love to organize things. It is very a very calming activity to sort through items and separate them into categories. The problem I have is follow through…I like to sort and categorize…just not store and put away. Big problem!
5. I love boxes…especially old wooden boxes. I like the ones that have several layers of paint on them and have obviously been well used. I really get excited if I find a box like I have never seen before.
6. I really enjoy watching So You Think You Can Dance? on TV. This is the 3rd season. I do not like Dancing with the Stars at all, but this show takes kids who really can dance and showcases their talent. It is amazing how they can learn new choreography each week, even when they have not ever danced that particular style before. Much harder than DWTS…this show is about real talent. No, I do not think I can dance.

So, there you go, way more about me than you ever wanted to know. I am not going to tag anyone specifically…but, come on, folks, be a sport…play along!
