I have no good title for this

I am back up and running in the computer department due to the kindness of David – thank you!!  He had an old Dell in the closet that wasn’t being used, so he offered it to me.  Even though it’s from 2005, it’s still so much better than no computer at all!

I’m getting reacquainted with Windows XP, which I remember liking okay, and I’m learning patience when it comes to surfing or multitasking. 

I also discovered David has Photoshop loaded on this machine, so I’m going to try and learn how to use it while also not getting too attached.  :)

In other news, I have felt like total crap the last four or so days with the worst being yesterday and this morning.  At some point the fog lifted this afternoon and I feel human again!  It was a tummy thing that really felt a lot like all-day morning sickness {which is was not as I am 100% sure I am NOT pregnant.}  Now I just have what feels like some kind of cold coming on, but I will sooooooo take that instead.  Though it means I have no volume in my voice, and that makes it hard to holler at my children.

In the midst of this I started a 21 day sugar detox on Monday, and I’m very excited about it.  It’s pretty limiting, and I’m sure I’ll have this caffeine/sugar withdrawal headache for a while, but I’m looking forward to the results.  I’m so addicted to sugar and processed carbs, and I need to cut the addiction!  My plan is to kind of blog the journey and include pics of my meals, but I haven’t really done that the past couple of days.  I also want to weigh myself soon to see if I lose any weight.  That isn’t the point of this exercise but would sure be a fun benefit.

And now, because they’re the only pictures I took yesterday and today and also because they’re so stinking cute, here are my “J’s.”

Joanna fashioned herself a head covering and became a shepherd yesterday.

And James put on pink glasses and a pink hat and fashioned himself extremely cute today.

And that’s all I’ve got. 

I’m not sure yet whether we’re going to do anything festive tomorrow to celebrate the holiday.  Matt will be working, but my mom said she might want to go to the parade with us.  I haven’t actually been since Joanna was an only, but I kind of want to go tomorrow.  We’ll see!
