Living Reflections from a Dream

My new years resolutions included such things as:

watch less tv
spend less time online
read more
write more (especially on the pathetic links only blog I've got here)

That writing on the blog and spending less time online may be in conflict, what is a girl to do? The fact is that having a job that doesn't allowing for blogging at work severely cuts into blogging time and I never realized how much! But I really did have good intentions after the new year. I wrote about the Charlie Card, but then (trama!) my personal laptop first had battery problems, shortly followed by a complete and utter death... without even the courtesy of the Sad Mac Carrie Bradshaw got when her laptop died. Fortunately, I had happened to back up a few days before so I wasn't completely tramatized, just overwhelming devestated. Watching the man at Circuit City pack it in a box because it "had to go away" to be fixed. Had to go away is what people tell little kids when someone dies or goes to a nursing home! My computer can't be dead! It's only a year old (and I did not appreciate the man at the store referring to it as an "older model"! My computer isn't ready for the nursing home and it's much to young to die.)

My computer has been gone for a week and a half. I could no longer avoid my addiction: I must get online! So today I cranked up my ancient desktop, which is about as fast as FEMA is responding to emergencies. Mamma mia.. I could take up knitting while Photoshop opens on this thing. But anyway.. here it is, yet another design... just for those of you who didn't like the old one because it hurt your eyes. And we'll see if I get back to a regular writing scedule.
