Finding Joy in Snarkville

I want to write an ode to the internet, a sonnet perhaps.  I want to declare my undying love for the ‘pipes’ and ‘trucks’ that clog the pipes.  I want to hug the virtual world in a giant bear hug.  Want to know why?

Because I’ve essentially gone about 48 to 72 hours without a connection.   I’m seriously considering finding out how I can get a constant connection just implanted.  Serious people 72 hours, folks, that’s just not humane anymore.

Ok, I’ll cool it on the drama.  But I will randomly through updates at you.

• Prince solved my computer issue this week and I’m currently traveling with my beloved Mac (that is also jonesing for an internet connection).
• Duke is a master traveler.  I’ve said it before, but seriously when a 4 year old is forced to school an adult (not me — some random person in line) to take their shoe off to go through security — you know you have raised a traveler.
• Duke and I have been having a ton of laughs lately.  My apologies to anyone at the airport recently who had to deal with me teaching my son to give zerberts and take turns.  There was spit, squeals, and giggles everywhere.  And for the record, Duke can not give a zerbert if he is laughing.  His mommy, however, can.
• Duke has picked out his own pumpkin and helped carve a face in it.  Best part is that he named it “Jack” no, not Jack-o-lantern, ‘Just Jack’ (jazz hands weren’t involved).
• I am currently running a long list in my head of things I’ve forgotten to pack.  Thus far the top of the list is my anti-sea sickness patches.  Um, this is not a good thing and involved not one but two calls to my doctor and a little “I can’t believe I forgot them — and please tell me I’m not the only person to do this.”  (I’m picking them up in about an hour.)
• I am one sleeve away from the top of my cardigan — so much for finishing it before I leave — however, let me mention that I forgot to pack my knitting tools — read: darning needle, stitch markers, and cutter. Yes, that takes real talent.

So — enjoy your snarky break.  As I find internet, I may try to get a few more things updated.  Miss me, for I miss you already!!
