Digital Tedium

I’ve been having “issues” with the computer. This has made anything remotely to do with this rickety old machine tedious at best, and like banging my head against a brick wall.

(No, dear, I wasn’t talking about you when I said “this rickety old machine.” You’re a good computer and I would never call you rickety. There there.)

Don’t tell the creaky one but there will soon be a sleek and sexy new machine in my life. I am counting the days (five). Flush with the giddiness of making our last car payment, we decided to throw caution to the wind and buy a new computer. High speed internet follows. I can’t wait. But I will have to.

(No, dear, you’re not creaky either. I was talking about my, um—chair. Yes. My chair.)

I will try to get caught up on all of the fascinating blogs I’ve been planning to write. While you wait, with what I’m sure is baited breath, I’ll tell you what’s been bouncing around in my brain.

—Harry Poppins
—Minor League Baseball
—Doing Things the Hard Way
—Reading Magic
—My new attitude toward my children’s germs
—My charmingly ironic partner
—The cultural significance of Oscar the Grouch
—Squirrel Fest
—Wind, wind, windy, wind, wind

Let’s start with Oscar, shall we?
