What a Week!

Well, I started this blog to add beauty to my life, enjoy the wonders and the miraculous, and here I am after 18 hours on the computer today doing homework and dealing with computer issues, trying to remember when I walked under a ladder! Maybe a black cat crossed my path?  What did I do to deserve a week like this? I certainly don't believe in karma just for this reason. And so now I need to try to find something pleasant to write about so we can enjoy our Cup of Tea and fulfill my assignment requirement. :-)

The few times I did take a break, (aside from throwing the clothes in the dryer and using the bathroom), I read my personal emails and got on Facebook for a few minutes.  I posted how horrible my day was going.  Three hours later, I had cyber hugs, prayers, advice offered, and links shared. Someone posted music for me to listen to. Another put up a poem written by a friend.  Some of these friends I've known for 40 years and some I've never met.  Right before that, my daughter instant messaged me (from upstairs) and asked if I was hungry. It was long past dinner time and I had even worked through lunch. She left and brought home dinner and made me get away from the computer. That lasted all of two minutes because we were soon browsing You Tube for funny Betty White clips, which led to Barry White and his sexy voice, and then her cell phone rang and I got a text. She went off talk to her boyfriend and I went back to homework.  I felt a little better.  Nourished physically by a semi-fast food restaurant (although I ate only one third of it!). Nourished in the soul a "lil' bit."

This is life in the 21st Century in our home right now. I only bought a TV recently,  just for me, for the first time in probably, oh, I can't remember if I ever bought a TV for me! (Truth is, my husband wanted it and I let him get it so I could buy a new computer).  It was only a few years ago I fought the idea of me ever using a computer. I had an electric typewriter that worked just fine!  It didn't matter that it was so big and heavy that I couldn't even lift it.  My new laptop can fit in my purse if I WANT to carry it there....right next to my Flip, digital camera, and my phone. 

The electric typewriter looked something like this, although it was a professional office model and much larger.

Here's the new baby!
