More of One Giant Twitter Than a Post, Really

Yesterday was my first Wednesday fasting from the Internet. I would like to say that it worked great, I devoted oodles of hours to prayer, and am now on the right track not only internetwise, but in every aspect of my life. Thank you Wednesday Internet fast! It worked for me!
I would really like to say that, but as a Christian, I must tell the truth. Mostly, I did errands. Mom's doctor wasn't faxing the form to her pharmacist that she needed to continue getting her testing supplies for her diabetes, so I took a ride over to his office and staged a sit in until I got that form, then I carried it myself to the pharmacy. (I know, I shouldn't leave her alone, but I also shouldn't skip testing her sugar. She is okay for a couple of hours, so long as she has a phone, a snack, two bottles of water, a word find, a pen, the remote control, and everything in the house is unplugged but the refrigerator, everything is locked and the gas stove is checked at least three times) He came out of his office with the form before I was scheduled to sing "Kumbaya". Bummer. Without "Kumbaya", I looked absolutely ridiculous sitting on the waiting room floor Indian style holding a tambourine (okay, I didn't actually do that. That was plan B....) Honestly, I would have had to do this yesterday even if it had been Tuesday and I could have spent oodles of time on the internet.
I also spent a lot more time with mom when I got home, which was good. She was really happy with that. And I did homey little things, like vacuum and such.
Today I have tickets to see "Disney on Ice". My cousins and aunt also won tickets, so it'll be extra fun. If I get to meet Mickey, is there any message you want me to give to him? I am leaving at 5:00pm, so all messages must be left by 3:00pm for me to see it before getting ready and going to the show. And yes, I have a mommy sitter.

Yeah -- ask Mickey where he gets those enormous skates, cuz I got big feets! (and a big head, come to think of it.)

Yesterday was kind of hard for me...I worked, but my blackberry kept buzzing...follow up comments from stuff the day before. I need to take my gmail off of my phone.

Katdish, will do, because I have big feet too. I don't have a blackberry. My cell phone is never on unless I am making a call with it. I am not as technosavvy as I appear....which is really scary because I must appear borderline Amish sometimes "Please help me link" "Please help me imbed a video" "Unless it comes in a package or I bake it, I have no idea what a cookie is much less how to delete one".

Beth- Do they come to a theatre near you? Maybe your local polka show gives away tickets.....The three kings names are Melchoir, Caspar, and Balthazar.
