I must admit that I never knew there was such a thing as “Fairy Blog
\nMother Day” however, I have been enlightened to the fact that yes, in
\nfact there is such a day and yes, in fact “Fairy Blog Mother Day 2006”
\nhappens to be today, February 6th!  So to my Fairy Blog mother, I
\nsay a happy day to you and thanks so much for introducing me to this
\nfun technology and also for helping me over the bumps in the road that
\nI’ve come across now and then!  Of course, my half dozen or so
\nreaders thank you also!  (Click on the title to learn who my Fair
\nBlog Mother is!)<\/p>\n

On another note, has anyone else noticed how quickly weekends seem to
\npass these days?  I barely blink and it’s back to work!  I
\nhad a wonderful weekend – both hubby and I found the motivation that
\nwe’d been lacking through these winter months.  Maybe it’s the
\nfact that it felt more like April than February out there.  I
\nactually started my spring cleaning and the paint\/paint brush found
\ntheir way out of the storage room as well!  We hung some pictures
\nthat had been put aside in storage whilst the painting was going on –
\nmy house is really looking like a good old fashioned, lived-in house
\nagain!<\/p>\n

And…  I LOVE MY DESK<\/span>!  Did I tell you that I LOVE MY NEW DESK<\/span>? 
\nI found a lamp online that I think I’m going to like and yesterday I
\nwent to the store so I could actually SEE it  but they did not
\nhave it on the floor.  However, I did buy two new frames (I’ve
\ngotten a couple cute kitty shots that I’ll post here soon) for the
\ndesk, which match the drawer handles nicely and I bought file
\nfolders!  Course, the folders are hanging in the drawer and what
\nneeds to be put in them still sits in a heap in the other drawer but,
\ncome on!  One step at a time here!<\/p>\n

And….  I ALMOST think I’m ready to make the jump to joining the
\nrest of the world in shopping online!  Yes, I am one of the few
\nthat have held back from doing so (please see side bar!)  I’ve
\nrefrained from doing so all this time mostly because I am absolutely,
\npositively petrified of identity theft!  However, with recent
\n“errors” (I won’t say names) that you hear on the news of people having
\ntheir credit information found out WITHOUT the involvement of internet
\nshopping, I guess that maybe, just maybe<\/span>, I’m ready to make that jump!<\/p>\n

Of course, the other reason I’ve refrained from doing so is that it is just to darn convenient<\/span>. 
\nYou see, I’m not a big shopper.  I have no patience for shopping
\nand I enter stores only when I absolutely, positively have to! 
\nSo, can you just envision my credit card balance going up and my
\nchecking account balance going down?<\/p>\n

I don’t know.  I just don’t know if I’m ready for that yet.  Time will tell….<\/p>\n
