Well, it's about freaking time! They finally figured out the problem....it was an outside line. So, modem #1 has been resurrected as backup, and we are sufing once again. I tell ya, it's been a quiet weekend without dsl. Dial up took care of any incoming calls....and my mother thought I had moved away and not told her! LOL. She is happy too now, since she runs her account off mine. She said she had to go on at 12:30am to check her mail....lol. Isn't technology grand? If I've learned anything from this past weekend....it's that I am addicted to the internet. There, I said it. "Hi, I'm Sherry, and I'm a netaholic." ::chorus:: "Hi Sherry!" ....
So, to play catch up....
Wee one and her friend finished their invention convention project and were a complete success! They were one of only two in the class who got 100% on the project....and to top it off, they have kids asking if they would make some more and sell them! LOL....they are so excited. I don't remember if I mentioned what they made, but they are called "The Kid Key Keeper". They made little material pockets big enough to hold a house key, and attached them to scrunchies for girls, and wristbands for boys. They chose cool fabrics and made 4 samples. The skit they did was a little girl who got home from school before her parents and didn't have a key. Then wee one came up and said, "Well, you need the Kid Key Keeper!" LOL....Wee one said that a little boy asked if he could buy the one made with cowhide material and she said, "Well, we have decided on a price of $3.50", and he said, "Cool! I"ve got $12.00 so I can buy three!" LOL....too cute.
Betsy has been working lately, but that is about it for her. Although today I had to go to school and get her because she had a terrible migraine. She said it was pounding in her temple and causing her whole body to ache....she was nauseated too. I brought her home and she slept most of the day. She took her prescribed medication along with Advil migraine. And then....work called because no one would come in and help with a load, so she said she would come in for a few hours. She is really serious about her job....which makes me very proud. She said the pain was down to a dull ache....I just hope she is okay when she gets home.
Wow, what a wonderful update, huh? Nothing much more happened. Just another few boring days in the JBCoupe household! I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone else though....I'm off to read!

It's good to see ya back. I never realized just how addicted I was to the internet either until my computer crashed one day. That is such a great idea that Wee one and her friend had for their invention. I hope Betsy is feeling better. I suffer with migraines...I get them so bad at times I cry like a baby. Of course that just makes it worse.
Sending Big Hugs your way,
Angel
We never realize how much we count on the internet until we don't have it.

WOO-HOO you are back to the land of the living a/k/a DSL users! I don't know what I would do if I had to use dialup all the time again. It would make me insane that's for sure. CONGRATS on Wee One and her invention! What a great idea!!!! She should market them. Who knows, she might be on Ellen one day talking about how the idea just came to her one day. Glad to have you back!
Hugs and love,
Lisa
