Am I the ONLY ONE ....

with dial up??????????

I dream, I pray, I wish..... that it would come to my neighborhood! BUT alas, NO, they are not coming anytime soon!!!!!! The lines are 1 mile from me, and still........ NOT HERE!!!!!!!
SURE, I can pay $80+ for a dish on my house... but FOR REAL... UMMM.... NO!!!!

So, really, am I the only one left???

Makes me think of way back when when my hubby and I were dating and everyone I knew my age was having sex... and I kept asking him... " I AM THE ONLY 21 yr OLD VIRGIN ON EARTH?" SOOO, AM I THE ONLY DIAL UP COMPUTER??????

Gratituesday: SNOW!

I know, what a silly thing to be grateful for today... but here is the scoop....
About 10 yrs ago, right before we got married, my hubby told me he was buying a snowmobile... WHAT, WHY, Why are you brining Debt into the marriage???? UGH, but of course, there was NO stopping him.... Then 2 years later, I bought him a used one he had his eyes on. I surprised him with it and he loved it!!!!!!!! We went on a snowmobiling trip when our oldest was just 7 mo old (YES, that was 8 yrs ago... SAD) and didn't really go anymore that winter of 2001. Then in Jan. of 2002 I had my 2nd baby and finally got to do some snowmobiling... Ever since then... there has really NOT been enough snow to hit the trails.... sooooooooo our sleds just sat there.... not being used... BUT this year.... we are taking a weekend away with my hubbies brother. We actually got to go just a weekend ago for a few hours on my brother inlaws snowmobiles! It has been great fun, and for that I am grateful! I love snowmobiling and wish every year there was enough of the white stuff to go!!!!!!!! THANKS LORD FOR THE LOVELY SNOW THIS YEAR!
