I get this fabulous new computer for Christmas and my modem decides it no longer wants to work and offer me internet service.  So here I am at Panera using its free wi-fi and rue the day.  I just want to be able to play with my new computer and check my email.  I love email.  I miss email.  I have gone for nearly two days with limited internet connection and I am going to go crazy.  I am going out of town tomorrow so won’t have much if any internet access and that just frustrates me more.  UGH!!!!

Things have been crazy at home.  We are working on Minnow’s fifth day of Christmas.  The presents just keep coming.  I am ready to be done with wrapping paper and putting things together.  Have I said how much I love my new laptop.  It rocks.  It has a raised battery so that it is nicely propped for easy use and the keyboard slightly rises for more comfort.  Hubby is the best. 

I promise to post some pictures from Minnow’s Christmas extravagance as well as some video.  Did I tell you all that my little 20-month-old can play the harmonica?  Well he can and he is pretty good.  This boy’s talents never cease.  My MIL leaves tomorrow and I am so sad for Minnow.  He is smitten with her.  He follows her around everywhere and wants to be with her all the time.  It is awesome.  I am sad she is leaving and that she lives 2000 miles away and only sees Minnow once or twice a year.  That just totally sucks.  It has been great having her here. 

Well, I am off to get back home.  I have one more chair to put together and a babysitter to line up for tonight.  Hope everyone’s holiday season (whatever holiday you celebrate) was great.  See you all soon.
