This is in response to

this quote from forawi,
"I wanted to add a quick post though, so that I can be righteously indignant about all the lackluster blogging of my friends."
I've found that trying to be creative and entertaining is sapping my strength. And, I don't think my pictures are very interesting. So, the only thing left is pretty much real life which is just the same ol', same ol'. Let's see. The radiator in Doug's van has a huge crack in it. So, we are now down to 4 people w/ jobs and 2 autos. I have a boatload of work to do this week and would like to have a car to drive, but I dunno if I will. We looked at some manufactured houses yesterday. Still in limbo. Could we just hire somebody to do all the looking and the decision making and signing papers for us? I still have a pretty strong desire for one of those hi-line homes, but I don't know what to do about it anymore. I keep forgetting to take the antibiotics for my sinus infection. I need to go call the dr's office and be sure they send the proper referral authorization to the foot dr's I am supposed to go see next wednesday. Last week I had x-rays taken of my foot and my shoulder. Geez - see what I mean? Dull. However, it gives me an idea. I could put all my to-do lists on this blog, and since I check it frequently because I'm starved for comments, I'd see the lists all the time.
Here's a picture from my $2 digital scrapbook program. I created it after typing that last sentence and it took me a full half-hour. It takes forever to find the specific pictures I have in mind, and then I have all the choices about what to make the page look like. Plus, not having an artistic bone in my body, they are really dull. I am kind of proud of the Tot-tot watermark, though.

i think you are infinitely entertaining, interesting, and edifying! sometimes the artistic stuff is just confusing to us old people. but, of course, you can't go by me who posts pictures of cleaning closets! i hope you're feeling better at last. (p.s. i'll comment at least once for every post!) xoxo

You are a faithful commentator and I thank you. I know I don't post very often, but you wouldn't believe how bogged down I get just trying to do the littlest thing. For example, this is the second time I've had to compose and type this comment because the first time I tried I got this response -

Your request could not be processed. Please try again.

And, of course when that happens, what you already said goes away and you have to start over. That's what I'm talking about. This time I will copy this before I hit publish.

Always remember to take time for your creative endeavors! I know they seem too time consuming, but they give us the strength and energy to get through all of the part of ho-hum regular life. I love that pic of Tot-tot and Theo.
