Back Online

Our computer has been down since last Friday with a blown out video card. We got a new one installed but things are still looking a little bit wonky. At least it's working! I haven't been able to check my emails, read the Board (http://vallartascene.com/forum/phpBB2/) or blog anything. Funny how you get so used to having a computer every day, it seems strange when it is gone. After being offline a week, I was started to get used to having a bit more free time. LOL

Not much new around here other than the weather which was unseasonably warm and humid today. As I walked home from work just after sunset, I noticed some dark clouds and thought that it looked like it might rain. We did get a few drops about an hour later and I've been hearing thunder but nothing major is happening right now. A good downpour would give some welcome relief although I'm still finding it pleasantly cool.

The town is relatively quiet this week, no doubt in preparation for all hell to break loose next week when the Christmas crowd arrives. It is always difficult for me to get excited about Xmas (as I call it). I find it to be overly commercial (she said, working full-time in retail) and far too frantic. Everyone is rushing around, looking for gifts for people who don't really need anything. I prefer a quiet evening of sharing good food and good wine with good friends.

I'll keep this short as I have a TON of emails to answer. I hope you aren't stressing too much about the coming "season" and find the time to be thankful for all the blessings in your life.
