Workin' for the weekend

So, this being the big holiday weekend, we are heading out tomorrow after school for a camping trip. We're headed to MN, near lots of tax-free shopping, so hope to finish up all those back-to-school needs.

Speaking of school, have you all realized that we have an "official" Jr. Higher living in our house? Abbie is finishing her first week of 7th!!! grade. She babysits and everything. Less than 6 months to go till the teenage years. I swear I'm not that old.

FYI - I'm really enjoying our new wireless router. I'm surfing in the living room while Keith is on the desktop in the office. No more waiting to get on the computer in our house...which should bode well for the frequency of blog entries. Ahhh...nothing brings families together like technology.

What are you all doing for your long holiday weekend??

man, Abbie's getting really old. I remember, clearly, seventh grade!

Way to go on the wireless thing. You'll never go back. That means that you'll have to get an Xbox 360. With the wireless connection to your main tv, you can take watch your DVR material from your desktop media center. Plus you can Ghost Recon with the Dagits, Balsters, Prestons, and Kalbs.

So exciting, love shopping, move out here and you'll have no sales tax year round!!!! That is crazy you have a pre-teen, yikees!! Does she have a myspace yet? Also, I love wireless, we never used our desktop anymore and just got rid of it, now we want two laptops....will have to hold off on that one.

I'm enjoying your wireless internet too. Quinalt is no more, they got a password. No Shew wireless would mean no Johnson wireless. Good call on the XBOX 360...in the words of Sir Mix-a-lot, Jump On It!

Seriously, get an XBox. With four controllers, you can kill Nicoraguans as a family. You guys could add some serious firepower to our little group of Ghosts. I have a feeling the A-Bomb would be unstoppable.
