Excuses

I have a lot of excuses for why it has been so long since I've blogged. I will let you pick which excuse you find as the most valid.

1. My computer wasn't working. I have had an endless battle with power cords for my Apple. The model is discontinued and I keep breaking them (it usually involves Siena). I have to wait for someone to arrive from the US to bring me new ones.

2. It takes a long time to load pictures onto Blogger/Picasa, which is discouraging. Summation: I need a new computer.

3. We have had a lot of visitors! Since Feb 1 we have had Lindsay and Travis; Elise and Bill; Annie, Joe and Jack, and Katie and Mike. All of these visitors were here for a week or more. That is a lot for two months!! So we've been busy which means less downtime to think of interesting blogs.

4. I've been trapped on the TARDIS. I've started watching (and liking) Doctor Who (whoops), which requires my full attention. :)

5. I work now and so have less time.

6. I feel like I'm repeating myself. This island is small with limited activities and I worry I'm just writing about the same things over and over.

So, I will try to be better about blogging. It is a little ridiculous that I've been here for two years (almost) and have yet to reach the 100 blog mark. Actually, I think I'm getting close and I may save the 100th blog for my official two year mark on April 15. That sounds nice.

Life is calmer right now. This weekend we are going out with some friends on Friday, watching Rugby on Saturday, and going to Brunch at the Ritz (courtesy of Mom and Dad -- Thanks!!) on Sunday. OH, also, Bob and I have signed up with our friend Alanna for a co-ed touch rugby team. You read that right, I will be playing touch rugby. I guess they really need numbers and are willing to gamble on my poor athletic skills and lack of rugby knowledge. Wish me luck!
