At Last...

Hooray, my new computer has finally arrived and I am again connected to the cyber world. It really does seem like I haven't blogged in quite some time and a lot of things have happened in the last few weeks especially considering we're talking about the holidays. I'm going to leave that for another blog, however, and devote this particular blog to my very smart and beautiful niece.

On Friday she was runner up in her schools spelling bee. This is impressive for two reasons. First, I helped her practice a little bit over Christmas break and some of the words I don't know if I would be able to spell right without the ever present spell check. The second reason that this is impressive is because she has my brother's spelling genes somewhere in her. Apparently they're recessive though. I would elaborate on how Friday mornings were somewhat stressful in our house before the weekly spelling test but then I'm sure Jason would comment on how every other morning was stressful because of the "discussion" that my mom and I would have over the chosen outfit for the day.

So, anyway, congratulations Lydia! I'm so proud of you!

I am actually alive

If you have been wondering why I haven't updated the blog in awhile it's because of a lot of things. First was the holiday and being at home and all the craziness of that. By the way, the holidays were great fun and I have a lot of really good pics to share but that has to come later because...second reason for not blogging in awhile is I've been without a computer for a couple of weeks now. My laptop had a malfunction as soon as I got back to the Nati so I've had no ability to get on the internet unless I'm at work and I feel a little guilty about spending work time blogging. (I'm doing it now because my client isn't here yet and technically I'm not getting paid for this time anyway.) Sooooo, a new laptop has been ordered and I should be getting it this weekend. HOORAY. I didn't realize how much communicating and staying in touch I did with my dear computer until I didn't have it. For those of you who haven't given up on my blog yet thanks and I should be more consistent again after this weekend, so until then....

P.S. Can I just say that it's Thursday and I really miss looking forward to a new episode of The Office. I'm so tired of this strike thing!
