I am a writer damn it. But all I do is type and delete posts. I'll just attempt to keep it simple by describing today.

Today the computer gave us a scare and didn't want to cooperate for half the day. Man, that was tough. I think at this point in life I could easily go without TV but the Internet and e-mail would be sorely missed. Correction, I could go without TV but not go without TV for Will. Sure he doesn't need to watch too much but sometimes Thomas and Dora and Elmo are my friends walking down the road to sanity.

Had the computer fried, I would miss the second page of my novel. One page is not a novel but two pages, you've got something that's not nothing. Maybe I'll write another page by the end of the year ... when the whole house will be painted. I'm obsessing internally with painting. I want to paint so bad but when, when do I have the time?!!!! I'm going to make time because the back hall, kitchen, hallway and guest room will be painted by the end of the year plus another coat on the baseboards in nursery and bathroom plus all the doors. And the cabinets in the kitchen. I'm just going to go crazy with the paint brush.

Let's end with what Vivi really wants to read, cute kid stuff. Today Will impressed me by counting 2-3-4-5 and the newest number 6. And while I was singing the alphabet song I sort of forgot where I was (don't judge me, you try signing after a long day chasing a 2-year-old) and Will filled in the next letter, X. Could be coincidence or we have the smartest child ever. Yep, I'm calling MIT.

Thanks for reading Vivi. I hope you had a good day. Did H&M open yet? I'm saving my pennies.
Gold star to Vivi!
