...And I was left alone with my thoughts (for the most part) and almost immediately my brain slid into neutral, the body on autopilot and I misplaced 16 days of my life ...again.

Ah the things we do for our families >D

I don't know what it is about the farm...but good intentions to play with my camera tend to just vanish and I simply forget to take pictures ~ or I think *hmmm I should grab the camera*...and then don't.

...I seriously Get my LAZY on when I go rural.

( Particularly unispired photos.... )

All is quiet on the Eastern-front....a.k.a Dial-up Purgatory....no seriously, it took 12 minutes to load the *update page* here in my journal. You can't imagine how long it took to just GET to IJ....and let's not speak of sending a single email. *face in hands*

I have the internet on almost all day it seems....a few tabs open and loading ~ so that I can bounce from tab A to B to C to D and then start again. I tend to do chores around the house while they are thinking about showing me a letter or pulling up info. I've also flipped through almost an entire year of no less than 3 womens' magazines that my mother's friend dropped off ~ tearing out recipes that will probably never be used, but it gives me something to do while the modem thinks slow thoughts.

Your question is then ~ what am I looking at online?

I am stalking Doll sites/forums....*cough*

ANYway... have no words to describe my time away other than *brain-in-neutral* ville. Beyond the cleaning, feeding and watering of the pigs, horse and geese....I am but a doorman to domestic pets.


Let the cat in.

Let the cat out.

Trip over the dog.

Let the cat in.

Let the cat out.

Repeat.

All. Day. Long.


Teh Bob came up to visit on the long-weekend and was going quietly insane watching the grass grow.

*heh* I know the feeling.

He couldn't STAY on the farm for an entire 24-hour period. He just couldn't do it. He bolted out of here at 10 pm one night (of the one day we didn't go anywhere) to the casino a half-hour away because he needed noise. >D

I WAS tres amused.

Teh Sprog is easily enough entertained with LEGO and his dvds though.

I have a few kimono disassembled and am almost finished Mariko's Secrets and am half-way through 2500 Years of History Unzipped. Beyond that.... nothing to do but count down the days till I'm hauling rocks at home.

....hard to believe I'm looking forward to that. *0__o

ANYway....for all of you whose journals this modem can't find...see you the 11th!
