(It’s connected to my laptop, I just wanted to get a feel for it before I un-box everything. (Which I can’t do until I get home anyway.) It’s going to take a bit of getting used to, but I am already touch typing on it with about as many mistakes as my MS keyboard.

The whole 2-button-but-really-one button mouse thing is going to take some adjusting, too. seems to work okay, it just doesn’t “feel” right yet.

About F-ing time. These “people” have been calling me at least once a week for the last 6 months, maybe even longer, I’ve lost track. I’ve NEVER given them any info on the few occasions where I did not let them go to voicemail. They’ve ignored repeated requests (and later demands) to be place on thier do not call list, and I’ve reported them to the Do Not Call registry multiple times. (All of my numbers are registered on that list.) I just wish it hadn’t taken annoying a senator to have anything be done about it.

I suppose I should post pictures of the boys, or some kind of content. Maybe a new recipe.

I don’t know, I think maybe I’ll just ramble on for a few more sentences and then hit publish. I’m going to go see Star Trek tonight, several people who’s opinions on similar topics I trust have said it is a good thing. I’ll find out for myself tonight.

These last few months have been somewhat hectic. Squiddo getting registered for kindergarten. Kraken turning one. Concerts, wedding plans (2 friends tying the knot this summer,) birthdays, etc.

Ok, I think I’ve rambled enough. I should probably get back to work.
