Well, it's been a while. What can I say? I've been busy (and maybe a little bit lazy). I've been thinking a lot on which direction I should take this blog. If I'm my cranky, sarcastic self, people are going to start thinking that all I am is a Debbie Downer (and we all know that's only 80-90% true). But I don't want to be all life-affirming and inspirational either. Cause, you know, ick. Nobody reads this anyway, so I'm not all that concerned. Also, I can't exactly complain (or brag, for that matter) TOO much about work or anything because people don't really like that. So what good is this blog, anyway? To recap, I can't be too happy or too sad, I can't complain, and I can't brag.

I got a new laptop over the holidays and I have to say, it's pretty much amazing. I find I carry it around and keep it on so that when I see something I want to know more about, I just search it. I told my mom that, like any little kid, at some point I'll lose interest in it because I'm a kid and it's basically a toy. She looked over at my dad, who was still playing with the police scanner he bought two weeks ago and said, "yeah, exactly when does that happen?" We're all looking forward to the day when we don't have to strain to hear the tv over the sound of the scanner. Although, it's sort of like listening to an old-time radio show. Last night we listened to a riveting 'program', if you will, regarding a robbery, IN MY TOWN, at a bank next to the Taco Bell at the same time my mother was at Taco Bell getting dinner. And she didn't see anything. I don't know if the guy got away. That's the problem with the police scanner. It always ends on a cliff-hanger.
