Steamboat Countdown

I leave for Steamboat in 8.5 hours. This is what the house looks like now vs. the spring...I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.

Chicago

Alright Kids. I was finally able to get my pictures from Chicago uploaded. They were taken during my walk on set up day during the convention. After that day, there wasn't much time for picture taking.

A Big Fat Thank You!

My birthday came and went. I received many cards, gifts and phone calls. My phone rang this morning, actually, with a phone call. A week late, but it was there. I actually had missed her birthday by two days, so I called it even.

So today I got my present from my parents. It was greatly needed and beyond anything I expected.

This means...i'm back. Back to surfing until all hours of the morning on something larger than my iPod (which is fantastic also!). It means I can work again and make some money making websites. It means...more blogging.

Is it 27 or 28???

27 is not much different. Although I did seem to stress out a bit more about this birthday. Than any other. I can't wait to get my new computer. I'm so very excited. I think I even gave myself hives a couple of nights last week...that was fun. Fortunately, they're gone and I think the stress may be slipping away too. I also have to say that I have the greatest family and friends ever. I had a million calls and I was full of love so thankyou to you all. You know who you are.

Amazing...

I'm constantly amazed at what technology enables us to do. Yes, it should be second nature, but right now I am on bed, watching the food network and writing this on my new iPod Touch. My computer may have broken down on me, but my wifi works just perfectly. So my blogging is short but present. Happy new year to you all.

Updates

So, my computer is now officially broken. The cost of fixing it is not worth it according to my computer guy and myself. That computer was about 5 years old. Which, in computer terms, is ancient. So I will soon be getting a new computer. More credit card debt here I come!

I have yet to update my photos from Chicago when I went to the trade show or my pictures from the trip to see the New England Patriots. I'm hoping to get my camera & cord in one place to upload pictures.

Right now I am babysitting. I am not however babysitting a human. I'm babysitting the newest member of T's family. The registered name is still up in the air I think, however she's been called Scout since she got to the house. I flew home on Monday from NE and then got in my car and drove down to Friendswood, TX. Scout howled for about 25 minutes cause she was in her carrier. She does NOT like her carrier. She eventually cried herself to sleep. Poor thing...

She's absolutely adorable. She runs and plays and then falls over and passes out.

Golden Saturday

Yesterday I went down to Friendswood, TX (3 hours away) to meet the puppies that T & the Kids may get. They were absolutely adorable. They had sharp little teeth that were around everything they could get around. They dug in the sandbox, ate the plants, chewed on sticks and any shoe near them. They will find out next week if they get a puppy. There are more people than puppies at this point. Fingers are crossed...

Their mother's name is Mocha. It's a "coffee litter" so their given names must have some kind of relation to coffee. Which is more difficult than originally thought...
