it's been awhile..

I know, I know, it's been forever and a day since the world last heard from me. I've been working all summer, most of the time all day long, and all I wanted to do when I got home was...nothing. I wanted to sit and do nothing. Didn't want to nap (well, sometimes I did), did want to eat, move, check e-mail, didn't want to do anything. Well, summer's over and so is my crazy work schedule. So why haven't I been blogging more since then? AOL 9.0 Optimized, which is code for Craptimized!!

I hate our dial-up service. Don't get me wrong, I completely enjoy not having to pay for my own internet service (thank you, Daddy), but the word "optimized", when used by AOL, means "we've added tons more features, but we haven't added anything to increase the speed. We just have a lot more things running on your computer at once to make it poop out on you. Plus, you're paying us to do so!!" But never fear, I have found another way.

Who knew that living in McKinney would have some perks. There's a library here that has internet access. Fast internet access. And a library card is all you need (plus signing an "I will not look at bad stuff...." waiver). The best part is that the much-needed library card...is FREE!!! So, I get off of work at 1 a few days a week, go to the library for a little while, then go home. NOTE: This is not a guarantee that I will be blogging 5 days a week or anything. But I think once a week is feasible. At least for now.

Not much to write about this week, but next week is the start of swim lessons. That should be interesting.
