It's like going back to your old neighborhood and there you all are...
Hi everybody! Long time no post (for me, that is)...
Sometimes life grabs you by the tail and takes you on a wild ride and you are so busy hanging on that there is barely time for other projects (ok- that's my story and I am sticking to it)...
Now winter is coming (and the family for the holidays...argh) - you KNOW what that means Deb-Cat (YES, the tent is up and running)...weeeeee
Had a few moments and dropped by the village and there all you guys are....It's like my high school reunion (except I actually LIKE you guys...hahaha) - I just went to the reunions coz I wanted to see how badly the rest of them aged...(yea-I am still MEAN as ever
)....
Looks like you have been maintaining the neighborhood quite well in my absence...I do plan on dropping by more often to catch up (I really DO have a good excuse, honest)....see the 'o' key on my keyboard has seen better days and refuses to work without me POUNDING on the darn thing 50 x's just to get a darn 'o' (figures it would have to be a vowel...) so what that means is that this post has just taken me 20 mins to type and now I am completely exhausted. Good news- mom bought me a new computer for x-mas but because she can't wait she is giving it to me tomorrow and I will no longer be a slave to this monster.
Do you see what you have all done to me? 5 years ago I would have thrown this thing out the window and got another- instead, I have suffered for months on end....ah- the life of a frugal-lite...
Hope everyone has been doing well and I think now I will peruse the archives to catch up on you all and give my pounding fingers a break...
Happy turkey day !!!!
