Face Time

Dear Blog:

I'm sorry I haven't visited with you more often or updated you regularly. You see, I have a problem. It's called, "competition for the computer." We only have one computer at our house, and whenever I want to use it, someone else is always on it. I never get to have any face time with you, my blog, anymore.

How can that be, you ask? I know, I know... Alex is only three, and Mark is gone to work all day. However, you should never underestimate the abilities of this new generation. Alex already knows how to open the laptop, login, and find his favorite Lego movies online. He's very good at using the little touchpad on the keyboard. (better than me!) If I get near the computer in the day, all I hear is, "I want the computer! Pppplllease, mommy, can I have the computer? I want it, I want it, I want it!" It's not a battle I want to fight so I end up neglecting you, my poor blog.

Then evening rolls around and Mark gets home. I don't even have a chance to get near you, dear blog, because of two simple, yet very powerful, words: Fantasy Football. 'nuff said.

So, I just want you to know that I'm still around. I still love my kids (most of the time), and I still love my friends' blogs too. I hate the cold, but I'm excited for the upcoming holiday season. Maybe as time goes on, my loved ones will lose their interest in the computer and I'll be back in full force. Until then... I send my warmest regards.

RipStik



Have you heard of it? My niece was telling me about hers a few months back and then my nephew brought one over to the house. Now, I consider myself quite able to do things that take balance. I was the rollerblading queen! (keyword, "was.") So I thought I'd give this new fad a try. It doesn't look all that hard, now does it? Ha. I was never much of a skateboarder, but I could sort of do that. This thing is bloody hard! I couldn't even get going. After hanging on to my poor 11-yr-old nephew for dear life, I finally admitted defeat. I don't think the RipStik will be a part of that corner in the garage that's full of toys on wheels. Although... now that I've admitted defeat in writing, I've ignited a little spark of determination. Maybe I won't give up on it just yet...

Kind of fun!

This was fun. This is as close as I'll get to an official type-test. Are you faster? Give it a try!
