Short story, long story

The short story for my blog absence this week: Work has been kicking my booty.
The long story for my blog absence this week: Work has been kicking my booty and I got a little sick in addition to that. Plus my Internet connection at home was down for a couple days.

But here I am, just back for a quick post before I have to get ready for work.

I got the Internet fixed, obviously. I also got a new computer. I finally upgraded and, at the same time, went wireless. So I have a new HP Pavilion something or other with a 17-inch screen.

Of course, the beauty of a laptop is that it can be truly portable. So I got the wireless router, too.

That will make it possible to play Scrabulous, um, I mean blog, right from the comfort of my own sofa.

I still have the old 'puter hooked up, too. It will be a good place to do my photo stuff and be a sort of holding area for stuff. I want the laptop to stay quick and clutter-free as much as possible.

Mostly I am just enjoying my new toy.

Buut now I must put the toy away and got get ready for work. It's finally my Friday.

My friend Pamela (we have known each other since junior high) will be here tomorrow for a quick visit.

I am looking forward to girl talk and Chinese takeout for dinner.

I shouuld be back to the kitchen and back to some sort of activity by Monday.

In the meantime, enjoy the weekend. I know I will once mine starts.
