Well it's been a while since the last posting. I think it was due to the Christmas break and being at the computer for very short periods of time. Since the kids were not in school I ironically had less vacation time. Always high energy in this household.
Now they're back in school-life should calm down a bit.
Just thinking there must be a better way to write posts, emails etc. Last week (replying to an email of a friend) it took me three days of writing one sentence at a time. The kids were so hyper (all the sugar!!!) that there would be an interruption literally every two minutes.
A few days ago I read this post from the NY Times.

So I brought this today (on clearance):

Thought about buying this but my computer doesn't have enough memory:

It should come next week.
Blogging will become easier. Right now my typing is so slow that I edit while writing. It's better to write first then edit. Kind of like playing the viola....need the raw materials first....then edit/practice with what you have instead of second guessing.

Oooh. Have fun with this. From what I understand, you have to speak very clearly and distinctly, which would be a no go for me, because I tend to speak quickly and mumble. It's a winning combination!
Or, you could scrap it and go get a Nintendo Wii. My friend bought one for her teenaged boys, and we played with it for a good long while last night.
