from cords that is! We got wireless internet last night...finally. My laptop and I have been stuck to the desk in the office for the past 15 months. Last night Chris asked if I wanted to get a wireless router and I jumped up and down "yes! yes! yes" so we headed off to target. We bumped into our good friends Erin and Jeff and they were there buying me a wireless router for my birthday. It was the best surprise ever. She knows how I was going crazy sitting in my chair and not being able to move when I wanted to go online. Plus, we all skype together and Jeff wanted to see our house. So last night he got the tour via skype and our new wireless connection. I know this sounds so lame but its a big deal to me. I am sitting here typing this rambling blog in my big comfy chair in our living room with my kitty sitting next to me. Its so nice to be free!
To be honest, I’m not a fan of the boxed pop tarts but homemade ones make me weak in the knees. Our local coffee shops here in Tennessee sell them and they’re my guilty pleasure. I decided to take a quiet Tuesday morning and make some with my sweet boy.
