I'M A HAPPY CAMPER

I guess it doesn't take much to make me happy, lol. I finally caved in and downloaded the newer version of Yahoo (or "Yahell" as it sometimes can be...) Instant Messenger. I was getting tired of not having the new and cooler emoticons that some of my contacts have, and now I have them too. There's one on there, the smiley guy is rolling on the floor and pounding it with his fists, he's laughing so hard ~ that's ME on occasion (specially when I'm being tortured with belly laughs by Debs) so I can really relate ~ lol. I may not be able to have my Lepp skin on the new version, but it's no biggie I guess, as long as I can figure out how to get his "laugh" as my alert sound when someone "calls" me on it.

And don't laugh, but the more days go by and my buttroid shrinks more and more, the happier it makes me too. Kinda feeling like I got the world by the tail just cuz I can sit without hurting, lol. Like I said, it doesn't take much.......

AND....... I got real brave last night (I'll admit I broke out into a sweat once or twice though) and downloaded the CD for my digital camera, so I can email pix from it. Well, let me just clarify that okay? I downloaded the CD, but I still can't get the damn thing to work when I hook up my camera to the computer. I just sit there going... "yeah? And NOW what????" It doesn't do anything. Sheesh. I'll get it one of these days, if not by myself, with some help. But still, I was so proud of myself for getting at least THAT far! What can I say.....

Today is laundry day for me, so that'll keep me out of trouble for a little while anyway. Mayhaps I won't get the chance to bugger anything up on the computer or the camera for awhile......lol This weekend is a stressful one for one of my friends, and I really just wish that I could be there to dispense hugs and squeeze hands. But alas she's much too far away for that, so I hope if she reads this she'll know where my heart is at least. In the meantime I'll be thinkin' about her as I go about my household chores here. Sendin' love and good energies your way!!

My goal is to get both a Guestbook and a tagboard on here one of these days. A tagboard is where you guys can yak back and forth to each other too, and it's looking like it's kinda fun. However...... adding things to my blog is yet another challenge for me. Can't ever seem to be able to figure stuff out as I'm just NOT versed in HTML stuff. I have a friend who is always willing to help, but I like to drive myself to the looney bin first before I scream "help"!! At least that way I know I tried.... and I DO learn a thing or two just trying. Anyway one of these days you guys will be able to (please) sign my guestbook on here, and chatter on my taggie......

Good grief Halloween is only a little more than a week away, and there's been no decorating started yet in my household.... I'm looking forward to doing some of the new stuff we've got. I bought some sheets of cheesecloth and tea stained them, and then shredded them and tore holes in them in places. I plan to hang them in my living room window where my scary pumpkin will be lit and sitting. Hope it turns out looking good enough!

Well my friends and family, that's about it for this update into my life. If anyone out there is moved to do so, please say a prayer for all the men and women who are overseas keeping the peace or fighting for it on our behalf. May God bring them all home safe and sound. Amen!
Peace to you all!
