Updating the links June 12, 2007

I was headed into the bedroom to get some quality reading time in when I decided I would give my blog some much needed attention.  I really like my blog even if I alone count for 25% of the readership.  But I was reminded again tonight of why I don’t update it more often.  MY COMPUTER IS SO UNBELIEVABLY SLOW.  It just took me 20 minutes to update my Reading and Listening to links.  No wonder I avoid the computer at home. 

Anyway, in addition to updating the aforementioned links, I added a few items to the  Dig  and Not So Much lists.  I felt that I should remove Red Wine and Diet Coke from my list before anyone thinks I am a horrible Mom-to-be.  For the record, I still love them both but am not partaking these days.  One of the many reasons the countdown to January is on…….

Saltines were already on the list, not a recent addition due to being with child.  Fortunately, I haven’t had to rely on them as it appears I have been spared the Morning Sickness nightmare.  So far anyway.  Several people have told me that if it hasn’t happened by now I am probably out of the woods.  I hope they are right.

 On a completely separate note, I touched base with my long lost friend Abe today.  I think it has been at least two years since we had exchanged as much as an e-mail.  We picked right up with the inside jokes as if we had just talked last week.  Don’t you just love the people in your life like that?  He and his wife Ashley are doing well and are expecting Baby Boy Dewing in September.  Re-connecting with Abe (Frohman, you know, the Sausage King of Chicago) was the highlight of my day.  Followed closely by the fact that it actually rained today.  Now we just hope and pray that the surrounding trees stand their ground and don’t fall on our house after being waterless for weeks.  Don’t laugh.  It has already happened once on our lot.  Before it was our lot.  Our neighbors all remember it crushing the house that was here before.  Good times good times.  Night all – I am off to read my book.
