Yet again...

Well, home from work again today. Stomach bug this time. I am sure looking forward to feeling better. Been working on updating some of the items on my blog while I've been home. Which brings me to what I am thankful for today...my computer. I have been SO patient since Brad and I moved into our house (4 years ago). We had nothing but dial-up and it was so painfully slow that it took me 30-45 minutes just to check my email. We FINALLY got DSL and that warranted us getting the new computer. I am getting myself back into the world of technology which I feel I was completely cut off from for those years. I know it is annoying Brad that I spend so much time on the computer these days, but I have a lot of catching up to do. And I use it for everything... writing lesson plans, creating tests and worksheets for my classes, email, besides all the stuff I just WANT to use it for. I can finally upload my pictures to websites and have them printed and sent to me. I can finally shop online. I have the capability to scrapbook digitally now, which will allow me to get rid of some of the crap that I have to haul from place to place everytime I crop. I am teaching myself about digital video and creating DVD's with my digital video camera. It is just amazing what all I can do...I just have to find the time (no problem, right?) and put the effort into learning all the stuff I missed out on during my hiatus from technology.
