7 Random Things

So, my best friend Cheri at "Keeping up with HIS Plans" participated in this fun game.  I'm sharing to help her out.  

1.  After a prolonged and valiant battle against the computer cancer euphemistically termed "planned obsolescence," my nine-year-old beloved Dell Latitude went up in a triumphant puff of electronic smoke after my son dumped a near-empty soda can into the back port yesterday afternoon.

2.  I finally found a really good website to assist me with all those ballot issues in Montgomery County, Maryland.  And it's written in language you can really understand. Now, I'm just trying to figure out the best time to arrive at the polls so as to avoid the crowds and the rain.

3.  I'm on the committee organizing my 20th High School Reunion (Class of 1989) for Roy J. Wasson High School in Colorado Springs, CO.  If you're wanting to attend, it's July 17-18, 2009.

4.  My entire family is sick, and as a result, my children have watched entirely too much TV in the past three days.

5.  Sunday is my 5-year wedding anniversary.

6.  My sink is full of dirty dishes.

7.  I talk to my mom on the phone almost every day.  I love that my long distance is (very nearly) free these days.  There were months when we lived overseas that the phone bills made me want to cry.

Thanks, Cheri, it's been fun!
