Comfy and Cozy

I’ve just spent the last hour reading all the blogs I was behind on. I’m on the couch, leg properly braced and elevated. How can I be writing this while I’m reclining under four blankets in the living room and my computer’s in the office? Let me tell you how!

First, you go to a country dance back in 1992 and ask a cute cowboy to dance. Then you marry him a few years later, bide your time until you get injured and he cares for you like a princess, and then open your Christmas present–the one you each promised was going to be very inexpensive because of the remodeling–to find a new laptop! With a wireless card!

I’m really SO happy. Now I can blog while he’s watching football … um, like right now. Neither of us feel cut off or stuck in a room alone. I love my office, but it really needs a good organizing/cleaning and I’m not physically up to that yet. So now I can focus on my online activities without feeling depressed that I’ve lost control of my desk.

Who knows, you might hear from me more often. In fact, I hope my next post will be about a GREAT book I just read. Even teared up while reading the end last night at 1 AM. Here’s the only hint I’m giving you: my current situation has tons of similarities with the protagonist. Just so happens that the author stops by this blog from time to time. Any guesses?

    What a great gift. The Cowboy scores big with the damsel in distress. I’m so glad to hear you’re back on the road of recovery. Have a great New Year.

    You lucky, dog. My hubby has a laptop, but he never shares. He must check fantasy football stuff while watching football. Seriously though, I shouldn’t complain; I love my new clubs. I’m glad something wonderful came out of that awful ACL tear. Have fun with your new tool!

    Wish your hubby had an older single cowboy brother you could send my way … just to look at. Yeah, just to look at. Sigh.

    But hey! Welcome to the Laptop Revolution!! You’ll love it. It’s so great reclining and working, working and reclining … but always working, of course. Have fun with it!!

    Oh, and enjoy that Sushi. ; )

    Rats! Donna beat me to it. I knew it was “Sushi.”

    Take care, Christina. Curl up with another good book. (You know what to do if you start one you don’t like. :-))

    Been thinking of you lots, lady. Glad you’re healing well and allowing yourself to rest. And woohoo on the laptop!! Guess what I got for Christmas, too? 🙂
    I was very excited and more than a little bit surprised. Write on, colleague!
