I am typing this while I watch the kids at the pool. Yay for laptops!
I will probably spend most of the summer sitting here, so I need to go buy a few good books. It has been so long since I have read anything, I don't even know where to begin.
I don't really enjoy going in the pool myself. It would have to get darn hot to get me to soak myself in a mix of chemicals and other people's sweat.
This is what has been going on with me:
1. I got contacts last week, and it has been quite exciting to actually see. Of course, seeing the filth in my house is not so fun, but at least now I can see to clean it. I met a lot of new neighbors, too. There was a whole world going on right in front of me, and I didn't even know it.
2. My foot surgery has kind of disappointed me. Maybe I am expecting too much, too soon, but I don't like how much it still hurts. And I have this burning sensation all over my foot, that I believe is caused from some nerve damage. So, I wouldn't recommend the surgery to anyone, unless they were really hobbling.
3. I have been yearning for another dog. Half the time, I can hardly stand the ones I have, so I don't get it. I have been kind of wanting a boy dog, which is not really my style. Anyway, I will try to restrain myself, so I don't end up one of those crazy people with a hundred dogs.
4. I am not getting enough time with my nephew. I knew this would happen! I don't have a car to use during the day, so I am at the mercy of my sister bringing him to my house.
5. Tim gave up his office and is working from home. My house looks kind of like if you put a sofa right in the middle of Best Buy. It is nice to have all of the computers and gadgets, but it kind of limits my decorating choices.

I stayed up too late tonight. Again. It is my shame. I hate to fall asleep. When I was little I used to stay up all night watching the dangerous shadows lurking on my wall, then fall asleep when the sun came up.
I just heard my husband's alarm go off, so I am caught. I am still awake, while he is already getting up for the day. It is so hard for me to fall asleep, but he can just drop off in seconds. I am quite jealous of his ability to fall asleep at will.
Oh, well. Good night...and good morning!

I'm Not Ready for This!
Annie, my littlest one, has had her eye on a set of triplets in our neighborhood since they were born. Finally, she got up the courage to go up to the mom and ask her if she needed any help with the babies. The mom asked her if she would like to watch her toddler during the triplet's birthday party.
Well...Annie was on cloud nine. And so was I. I was so proud of her for being so brave. I am horribly shy, and I love that Annie doesn't take after me in that way.
Then...later that night, I was struck with panic that if she was the babysitter, then there wouldn't be anyone babysitting her! I figured it wouldn't be too cool if I went with her to her job.
Tim was just waking up for the day, so I cornered him and poured out all of my worries about it. In the light of day, it seems a little less scary, but I am still ambivalent.
PS... What is the first thing I say to the mother of triplets?.. "Are they identical?"...She pointed out the unique features of each one, and I felt so stupid for being one of those people that asks such an annoying question.

Across the Great Divide
My beloved mac recently died after six years of faithful computing. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford a new mac, so I was forced to make the dreaded switch to Windows.
My husband bought me a low-end Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium installed.
It is hard for me to admit, but I love it.
Windows Vista is so different from the old Windows. Everything is intuitive and so easy. With the Home Premium version, it has an awesome photo organizing thingy, and I made my first DVD with no problems at all.
So, to my surprise, I now am a PC person. (shudder)
