First I want to apologize for not posting in so long but I have a few pieces of BIG news to share with you. The first is that I am pregnant...YEAH! I never imagined that I would be so busy once I got pregnant...there are so many things to think about, do, and take care of. Doctor's appointments once a month, prenatal vitamins every day, and not to mention that your baby seems to be the only thing you can think of all day every day. Somewhere in my incredibly naive mind I imagined pregnancy as this wonderful time of big changes, big feelings, and lots of rest and babying...by my husband of course...but in reality there are a million and a half things to do and think about everyday. I am "told" it will all be worth it in the end...just kidding, my husband and I are extremely happy, excited, nervous, and scared to death...all completely normal reactions I am sure. I am three months and am due on January 6th. The best thing is that I am going to be huge during the holidays so pass the mashed potatoes and the apple pie.
The second piece of BIG news is not good news. My computer died on Thursday...the motherboard had a degenerative disease and was in it's last few minutes of life...very sad. I was told that it was completely unsalvageable and I was immediately distraught. I was the most upset about loosing all my scrapbook photos and scans (I have them all backed up on CD...somewhere) that were on the computer. Now I have to go out and find them again, reload, and then resort everything. It was a lot of work the first time. Not to mention the classes that I had built for this site are lost as well...not the Word Up class...I have that burned so I can just reload it but the others that I was working on are gone. It is funny how in my state of shock at the time I could not comprehend the meaning of the word "gone". I kept thinking that they were still there. It was at this point when the shock was about to ware off and Dr. Jekyl was about to make his grand appearance that Adam looked at me and said, "order anything you like...I just want you to be happy!" What a life saver that was...not mine, but his...just kidding. So I ordered a new 17" laptop with a full 10 key pad and it will be here in about 7 days. I couldn't just order another laptop just like mine...I had to put in a few extras. I am about to die with the waiting. I am...until it arrives...using my PC that is 7 years old and grinds when it works but what am I complaining about...it still works.
To say the least my life has been a bit busy and my sister is working on taking up some of the slack...she is the other contributor on the site, Alycia Sanders. We will begin the posting again on July 1st and will post another sketch along with it. That will give me a chance to get acquainted with my new computer.
