I'm Baaaack

Thanks to the smartest monkey I know, my computer is back and better than ever. He blew out my hard drive (and no, that is not a euphamism ... though we've been trying our hardest to make it one) and reinstalled everything, just to make me happy. It may take me a while to get caught up on my reading and socializing (I miss reading blogs!) and, really, it's taking me a while to get my own feet under me here again, but I will and when I do I have lots to talk about. Just for starters:

MOVIES: This weekend, we went to see both The Corpse Bride and Serenity. Much candy was consumed. Life. is. good.

SCHOOL: Plodding along in these grad classes. Making little headway but losing my computer was the hardest thing there. I'll be better now.

WORK: Just got accepted into a program that gives me a LAPTOP just for learning. Going out to get a wireless router tonight. I am STOKED. You have no idea what this means to me. I would never EVER have been able to get myself one and have always wanted one. Can you say IM from bed? From Starbucks? From IHOP?!?!?! Not only do they have pumpkin pancakes that taste like fluffy little pumpkin pies but they have wireless, did you know that?

KIDS: I haven't killed them yet. That's quite an accomplishment.

So ... what's up with you?
