Curses, foiled again!

OK. I have been trying to post for weeks now. (Sorry to my loyal fan base who I am afraid I may have lost during this brief hiatus.) I promise some fun posts are forth coming. If you can't wait until then check out my sister's blog for a fun post at http://wholewheatbread.blogspot.com/2008/09/bonding-with-six-year-old-boy.html .
Anyway, here are my excuses in chronological order. In case you were wondering. I thought they were pretty good and quite plausible. This time it really wasn't procrastination. (Really, I promise!)
  1. We had Rick's 2 sisters and their families to visit and we were the hosts. In other words lots of pre-cleaning, cooking and post-cleaning time involved. (But worth it all!)
  2. My LCD screen on the laptop (where my pics are kept) had to be repaired which required sending the computer away for a few days.
  3. We spent a few days at a cabin in Island Park with our parents. Again, lost of planning but very much worth it.
  4. Rick's office was burglarized. (Is that a word?) His computer and operatory laptops were stolen. So I have been without the laptop (where all my pics are kept) all day so he can have a computer at work and then Rick has been working on the laptop at home in the evenings catching up on all his charting.
So as soon as the new computers come I should be up and running again with funny tales to tell.

An interesting side note on the event listed as #4. Rick was planning on working on the night of the burglary at his office. But I really wanted to have date night since it had been months since we had gone out just the two of us. As luck would have it, I was able to get a babysitter and we went out to eat and it was wonderful. And as luck would have it, during that short 2 hour time span from when Rick left the office and returned to work he was robbed. What does that mean?

Wow Rosy. That is so scary. I bet that it wasn't just "luck". So glad that he wasn't hurt. Although - having to get new computers - that's terrible in itself. So, what happens with all of the patient info that was on there? I mean, like HIPPA and everything. (Sorry, the curious nurse side of me just wondering).

Glad to see you are up and posting again. I love reading your blog. So sorry about not making it up to the Cabin. I think I am the last person in the family who hasn't seen the new addition - and I live so close!

Your mom is coming over in the morning to help me can some applesauce. She keeps bragging about what a great homemaker you are (probably brought on by the state of disrepair that my house is regularly in!) Hope things work out with Rick's office.

Do you realize how long it's been since you've posted. You'd think that with the weather getting a bit "un friendly" you'd be drawn to your computer. C'mon, I'd love an update!
