My own series of failures (title credit given to C.G. - thanks!)

I know it's been 2 weeks since I've posted, but let me give you a really valid excuse - no home computer! Our desktop seems to have mysteriously lost it's ability to connect to the internet (No LAN) and multiple service calls haven't helped. I just haven't had the time to get it in somewhere or get someone out to personally look at it. I have access through my laptop because the internet is working, as is the wireless router, but because we have satellite internet now, there are only a couple of "hotspots" in the house and who really wants to sit on the kitchen floor to be able to post?!? Not me, but I will sacrifice for the sake of my blog and faithful readers... so here you go...

In fact, come to think of it, lots of things have been breaking since my last post.
1) home computer - previously explained.

2) my favorite necklace - not that it matters to anyone but me, but it really was super cute.

3) my phone - stupid Droid2. You know I waited a few years to get a fancy smartphone because I knew it would change my perspective and dependence. It has. I truly love my technology so much, that when it doesn't work as planned, I feel gipped. Really Tanya? Reality check - this is not something you need, it's something you enjoy having - get over it if you don't have it 24/7!!

4) my string of 4 years without a paid vacation - this is a good break fo sho! I took two days off to just hang with the kiddos and two more days off to take Sis to the ASA Girls 10U Fastpitch Softball State Tournament in Decatur. Those Lil Lettes played hard and Sis had so much fun finishing out her 2nd season. She's already talking about next season and moving up to the 12U, as well as trying out for the Jr. High team at school.

5) my health - I have terrible head congestion going on 4 days now and it's settling in my chest. I'm pretty sure it's from a lot of in and out of a/c and 90+ degree heat for 4 days at the tournament and partially from having a hotel room with mold in the shower and water standing on the carpet, but nevertheless, I feel pretty much like crap.

6) my foot - now this isn't confirmed, but judging my the amount of pain and bruising, I'm pretty positive that when I jammed my recently fixed pinky toe into the door frame on Monday night and almost passed out, it broke. Hopefully the screws that were already there from surgery in March are still in the same places.
