Blogging on the Block 1-24-09

Well, I missed a few days blogging. Most of it had to with the MIL being a pouty. I won't go into, living thru it was enough.

The other reason is I've had my nose in a book. Actually 2 books. Otherworld by Barbara Michaels and Lost Inocents by Patricia MacDonald.

Also, on Friday night I was on Facebook chatting with my best friend from high school. I haven't seen her but once in 20 years, so when I found her on Facebook I just had to get in touch with her. We chatted for a long time, and it was nice to catch up with her. I set her and her husband up our senior year of high school, and I was bridesmaid at her wedding. Then they moved away and we lost touch. So it was really cool to find her. She told me that she'd been looking for me, and so had another friend of ours. What would we do without the internet?

Anyway, we're all in the living room tonight watching movies. All except the MIL, she went to bed pouting, normal for around here, so its all good. Fred and George are watching the Max Pain movie, I'm listening while I do my thing online.

I really hate dial up. It has kicked me off all evening when I've signed on. I really wish the new world would reach into our little corner and bring high speed and cable TV. Down between these 2 ridges we feel kind of cut off from the world. The phone guy keeps telling me in a year or two we'll be able to get high speed, he's been telling me this for 3 years......yeah, I'm still waiting. We wanted to do direct TV, but doesn't look like it'll work here either. The things we do to live out in the country. I don't really mind for the most part, I like the wide open space and the privacy.

Ok, so I'm out of here for tonight, gotta go delete and read some of my 496 emails. (That's just on one account. I've already taken care of the other 4 accounts. I know, why do I need so many accounts. Work email, survey email, family & friends email, the MIL's email (that she doesn't use) and festival email.)

Hope you're having a great weekend! I'm trying! Blessings and hugs!
