I have my computer back!

Yeah! After a long struggle with Sprint/Embarq/Earthlink, our compu is up and running again!!! Never have I so enjoyed lingering, for hours upon hours, over create-your-own photo gifts emails. It is a truly enjoyable act. Really. Spider solataire only entertains for short periods of time. However, my filing cabinet is nice and tidy after a hefty purge these past few internetless days. Speaking of which, I used the classic bad-guy-proof method of destruction for my out-of-date email contacts and such. If you are in the know, as I am, you will have likewise sorted your old paperwork with the 2 or 3 trash bag rule. In essence, your identity's worth is determined how many trashbags it takes to dispose of. If it is merely a 2 bag piece of paper, it is of lesser worth than a 3 bagger. Now by combining this method with the stinky trash sandwich (a violent mix of old coffee grounds/papers/wet dogfood designed to deter possible identity theft), you have attained the highest level of identity protection.

You may be surprised to find that I am typing this while enjoying the Martha Stewart show. Ta da! To show that I write in real-time, here are my real-time comments. Oh my, for the last day of Season 1 Martha Stewart Living, an infant is dressed as a roasted turkey, David Spade comes out dressed as Martha, and prison rules are reviewed. This is a far different Martha than the pre-prison one. Nowadays, ole Martha just pokes fun at herself in a very likable manner. She is (gasp!) talking about enjoying the company of hot young men (oh my!). She is learning about the differences between her own hair and ethnic hair with Aretha Franklin, and with humor. I love this Martha. She may still be a touch anal retentive, but she is learning to laugh at herself, and that is a start. Have a good day!
