Thank you!

I'd like to thank ALL of you you sent well wishes, cards, and prayers to my hubby while he was ill. He still isn't completely well, but the doctors thought it would take a couple of weeks before he'd have any energy or feel well at all.

I am very happy to report that he's surprised us all! He has made me breakfast this week, cooked dinner, gone shopping, played in a end-of-the-month poker tournament and helped cook dinner again tonight! (He's even doing housework again!! :D) I'm trying to make sure he doesn't overdue it, but his power of recovery is such a surprise!!

I know it was all my friends praying and sending good thoughts! Thank you!!

Late Night...

I find myself with a couple of extra minutes before I retire tonight. Well, not really. I should be asleep, but I'm still trying to unwind and decompress from the last few days.

I know I haven't posted in awhile. Hubby has been in the hospital the last few days. Hopefully he will get to come home tomorrow. If not tomorrow, Monday at the latest.

Thankfully, he has made strides in the last few days since they finally got the medicine concoction just right for what he needed, and he has been slowly healing.

I know that some of you have been praying for him. I'd like to thank you all in this message and let you know I can't even begin to convey how much I've (we've) appreciated that. I have a great bunch of blog friends!!! Inspired, Penny, and Tina, just to name a few. You guys are great! I am extremely grateful for all your support. Your positive words have helped me try to stay positive. Thank you!!

Until next time....

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! Happy Spring!!

You know you're living in the year 2006 when...

(Okay, so I saw this a couple of years ago and changed the date! ;) )

Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail addresses.

You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He e-mails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?"

Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.

You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year.

You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup to see if it contains Echinacea.

Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.

You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the screen.

You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid.

Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.

Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle & takes planning.

Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.

You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.

You consider second day air delivery painfully slow.

Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.

Your idea of being organized is multiple colored Post-it notes.

You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.

You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls. (Not so much for those of us with better than dial-up.)

You get up in morning and go on-line before getting your coffee.
