Fantabulous
Isn’t she flippin’ adorable? I know, right? She is much sweeter than that cake, and she is now a big 5 year old. Whoosh!!!!! it went by fast.
We are all fine here, just really busy with everything. Birthday parties, MRSA infections, sprained ankles, robberies next door (we are fine, just shaken up…will post about it later), installing alarm systems, hormonal teen, hormonal Mom, travel, blah, blah, blah!
Something interesting happened while life was going on…..I sort of gave up the computer. Not because someone told me to, or influenced me. I just sort of stopped logging in. And I liked it. Instead of being glued to a laptop on and off during the day, I am cooking, cleaning, organizing, hitting the beach, going for coffee with my friends, shopping, and LISTENING to my kids. What a novel idea! I noticed that my patience level has risen exponentially in relation to my time spent offline. I have also noticed that I got out of my shell and have starting engaging with the people in my town.
I do get online still, but mostly via my iTouch. I read my e-mail, check my Google Reader, and I am done. It takes me about 30-45 minutes and that is it…..which leaves me hours and hours and hours of time to be a good wife, mom and friend. It is so very fine.
No, no, I am not shutting the blog down. No way. I like blogging too much. Just putting it in its proper place in my reordered priorities. Posts to come will include the MRSA story, how my neighbor got robbed while she and I were out for coffee, cool pillows, and how I know that yogurt does not bounce well. ;*)
In the meantime, log off. You are not missing anything folks. It is like All My Children……….you can stop watching it for 10 years, and when you finally tune in to it, Erica Kane will not have aged a bit and will still be raising hell.
Wow, she is just stunning. Happy B-day, Mia! (And glad to see you back, Jodi. Glad all is well.)
sounds just like me lately! Once I figured out I could get my reader on my phone, the laptop was history. Always good to see a new post from you!
Mia is simply lovely! That cake and the sea motif reminds me of a birthday cake you helped me make for a certain young lady about 13 or 14 years ago! I cannot believe how she is growing up…
Oh! Her eyes!!
And, yes, I have so much more time when I get off this computer, so I’m getting off now.
Oh! Her eyes!!
And you’re right- I have so much more time for real life when I limit my computer time- so I’m getting off now.
Happy birthdy baby girl! She canNOT be 5!!!!
I hear ya about the blogging thing. Although I didn’t plan to be outed and go offline as immediately as I did, I have to admit that not feeling compelled to log in and update “C T” brought a sense of relief! LOL.
