After three days of being disconnected to the outside world via internet (we don't watch TV), about five of you asked for it, and here it is. Ok, so this is why I like the idea of scrapbooking but don't do it. It takes me FOR.EV.ER. to lay it all out just the way I want it. Even then, I'm not 100%. On top of that, our Internet Service Provider went kaput. The automatic recording claimed a line had been accidentally cut (likely story), but it's also equally possible the waves were good. I mean, THREE DAYS to fix the problem? But after a year and a couple of months, we've learned not to go all 'Mainland' on people, companies and things like that where 'fast & efficient service' is expected (the kind that causes heart-attacks and road-rage, I guess). It's not everyone or everything. Just the way it can be around here. Kinda like the Bumper Sticker I see alot on cars: "Slow Down! Dis aint da Mainland!"

BTW/FYI: this was originally going to be my personal blog. However, David saw me setting it up and has decided to "make it his own" (Paula Abdul) as well. So he'll occasionally pen a Post for your reading pleasure. :) I'm happy about that. I mean, he reads over my shoulder when I'm on Facebook, tells me what I should post, but refuses to get his own account? Anyway, we've agreed that we're sorta gonna have to write retroactively here at first about our general experiences over the last year, and I've asked David to author that one. Also BTW: since we're newbies, please feel free to give us tips/advice/shortcuts on blogging in general. Thanks for the help you've given so far! ~Amy
