the things you accomplish...

...when your internet is down!!

let me tell you, my home management efficiency (& D.'s & the boys') went through the roof over the last week thanks to our internet service provider.


all the lawn care that has been neglected since the end of last summer~~ done! (our neighbors might just think new folks moved in!)


all, & i mean *all* the closets in the home~~ cleaned out!


my gi-normous stack of books~~ shrunk!


right after the snow event last week, our ability to get on the 'net everyday was impossibly slow or non-existent. at first i was peeved. then (after lengthy discussions with our provider's customer service) i turned off the computer & took a look around.


i think i just may have needed that break...very much.


lots of gratitude for...
125. the "schedule post" feature on blogger

126. warmer temperatures & a bit of sun

127. team boyworld helping around the house

& here's a bit of a treat for y'all...128. my favorite sunrise in january '09...

So true!!!
I was without internet 3 days and my house was suddenly spanking clean. And I didn't have any guilt complex about not blogging!
Then the technician arrived Tuesday morning to fix the connection - turns out that I'd put the telephone plug in upside down -grrrr...

Oh, your pictures! I think you must live near paradise!

I know what you mean about lack of internet and productivity. I need to be better about just turning it off!

But, here I am . . .

maybe I should try that but apparently I can't seem to live without my laptop...

thanks for the birthday wishes, I welcome them any time this January, I think perhaps people should celebrate their birthday for a whole month not just for that one day, anyway, thanks, and what a lovely sunrise!

that is the most perfect sunrise
of the year
peeking in at you

at peace
with your world.

:-)

yes
so you ~~flowed~~
smoooothly.
your last note to me helped me ~~flow~~
too
and Good Things Happened!

why do i need
to keep learning the same lesson
over and over?

when things do not go
according to plan,
i should just go
clean
a
closet!

that is what i am thinking...

:-)

{{ oh happy day!
isn't life grand! }}

Beautiful sunrise......I'm still asleep.

Loved the comment about being beautiful by computer light....I love the feeling of comfort with a person.

Could you send the boy-units over to my place????? My yard is in need of major help.
