It's been 2 weeks!

I made it 2 weeks without blogging, or facebook. Like with any withdrawal the first three days were the worst. My computer was still calling my name...but I resisted. After a few days I had filled my time with other things that I hardly missed the computer. On Friday when I realized it had been 2 weeks I was shocked. Time flew by.

I have nothing profound to blog about. But I do have something I think is way cool. Last week was my birthday...I am old! But we won't go there! My brother, Bruce, decided to make me a table for my birthday. I am SOOOOOO excited.

Our family of 9 have been cramming around this little table. Sometimes I make everyone sit around the table with folding chairs. Sometimes some are at the table and some at the bar on bar stools. Either way it has been squishy to say the least.

Now I have this....

This table can fit 14 people comfortably. I am so thrilled. Last night at dinner I had to tell me kids to scoot closer they were so spread out, we still had half the table left empty. I can't wait to start having people over for dinner, now that they will have a place to sit.

Happy Birthday to ME! Thank you so much, Bruce. I love it!
