My laptop is back! I have missed it so much. I didn’t know I would miss having computer access at home this much. I have been using my sister’s and nieghbor’s computer to access email and stuff and now I can resume my travels to Tully’s. I missed that too.

I also have a new digital camera so I can upload those pictures of my knitting on Ravelry. I didn’t realize how friggin old my old digital camera was until I got the new one. Now my daughter is the proud owner of a lovingly used digital camera. So far, her pictures are pretty good. I would even say hers are better than mine. Photography is not my strong suit.

 I found a Hello Kitty digital camera for $18 bucks at Hot Topic and will now see how my pics look from that. The camera has no viewing screen, so it will be a surprise to see exactly how crappy my photos are. I got it mainly because it was Hello Kitty- no other reason. I know it won’t take Pulitzer worthy photos, but it looks so cute in my hands! Isn’t that what it is really about?

I am counting the minutes until I go on vacation: 30 minutes until my week of freedom.

I am so excited. I don’t think I have been this excited about a vacation since my last vacation.

I am not going anywhere. I am staying home and enjoying the sites around the city without the weekend crowds with my daughter. It will be fun. I have plenty of knitting and reading to do. woo hoo.

I seem kinda boring, but believe me, I need the downtime after all the running I do at work and in life. This is a very welcome break.
