JUST TRUCKING ALONG

So here I am just working away when I took some time to read some other peoples' blogs. How jealous am I allowed to be that "some people" (I'm not naming names) are in Prague or Kenya... okay so there are only 2 people out there that I can be "jealous" of (oops, I should have said "..of whom I can be "jealous"). I'm not really jealous, more like so happy for them that I wish I could be there to see the sights that they post on their blogs and to witness a January/February with no snow and nice green grass.

I get to go to BC next week... yippeeeeeeee....

Something struck me the other day (that's metaphorically "struck"): I spend more time in front of my TV and my computer screen than I do talking to people. True, the computer screen is a means of communication, but isn't there something wrong with all humanity (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating.. I really just mean me) when I would rather talk to another human via internet/email instead of talking to them face to face?? I was reminded again this morning when I was communicating with Kelsie (she works in my office area, if you don't know her!) who I can see through my glass door, on MSN.. yep, that's right. Even though I can talk in a normal voice and she can hear me quite clearly, sometimes we just communicate on MSN (I'm not going to get fired for this, am I?). I wonder if all this staring at screens is going to turn into me losing my eyesight or developing tendonitis in my wrists from typing and is going to cost me a lot of money. Maybe it is one big government conspiracy to turn perfectly healthy, 20/20 vision people into hunched over, glasses wearing, muscularly ruined citizens who pay huge amounts of money into the health industry to keep from falling apart. That would be a pretty good plan... well on it's way to success....

Excuse me now... I think I need a walk...

Just to ease your concerns, it is actually raining in Prague today, which really isn't THAT pleasant!
