Joie de vivre

Bwaha. My employer just called (again) asking how you forward emails with attachments, and how you scan a picture and attach it to an email. (Yes, she's sort of...clueless. I'm amazed that she manages to do as much as she does on her computer.) Anyway, this funny not because she's so inept, but because because I apparently successfully bluffed my way through it. I've never used Outlook Express. I've never used a scanner, either. But she did what I said and it *worked*. HeeHEE!

I've always thought I can comprehend well what I read, even though I read fast. Now I wonder. Today I was half way through the first chapter of a book about a man named Jamas before I realized that his name wasn't James. **face in hands**

Mom and I are having a great time with our week alone. I just hope the boys are all right without us! It's a little freaky knowing they're so far away (Pikes Peak) out in the middle of practically nowhere, and we won't hear from them until they get back. Ack.

I'm also realizing (much as I enjoy this week of just-us) that men are handy to have around. I hadn't mowed the yard in ages until yesterday. Do. Not. Like. Mowing. It's hot. It's sticky. It contains lots of bug bites and Itching (five mosquito bites on the right ankle alone; and on me they swell up to dime sized lumps and itch like anything...). Mowing is, yes, better left to the men. Anyone want to volunteer?

Other then that, we're doing just fine. =) Spent yesterday mostly just loafing around...no, I take that back. We defrosted both large freezers and I cut out and sewed up most of a new dress (oh, so pretty! I can't wait to wear it.) But neither of those were on the List of Things To Get Done While Without the Trouble of Boys Being Around. Maybe later today after we get done running around town. ; )

Next time I post it should be a very ecstatic me from savetheolives house. =D =D
