OK, Time to Share My Blog :)

Well, today I received an invitation from my little sister, Misty, to view her new blog. So, now I've "got" to share mine. :)

As you may have noticed, it's mostly just little genealogy searches and findings, but I'm hoping to add more personal tidbits and insight into my own life.

What's going on in my life this week? Monday I thought I had come down with the flu, but by Tuesday had determined that it was an intestinal blockage happening again. :( I'm only able to keep solid foods down for about 4-6 hours. We'll see if some chicken noodle soup can help loosen things up a bit. I took yesterday and tonight off, which is the first time I've had to call in sick in quite a while.

I ordered a laptop swing arm for me to use my laptop a little bit easier while sitting at my couch. It's about $150 from Amazon (with a 9" extension), but should be well worth the price for me.
