The Undiscovered Country

Using Too Much Computer

Since my last entry was so long, I'll make this one short.

Actually, I'm making this one short because I only have short thoughts. It's only logical (have I been watching too much Star Trek?) since I'm so short. Tall thoughts simply wouldn't fit in my frame.

The baptism was nice. Thomas behaved himself. Plus Pastor Kermit has that special touch. I have yet to see a child cry when he holds them.

I wasn't certain he remembered I asked for a private service (Dave's choice, not mine), so my mother and Thomas's godparents (Dave's cousin and his wife) were forced to suffer through the church service. HA! Ain't I a meany? I hope my mother won't think she's going to Hell now because she attended a church other than a Catholic one.

Kidding!

We have a nice certificate as proof he's now spiritually legal . We also received a silver spoon we can send in to have his name engraved for free, a quilt with his name and baptism date, and a hand-carved cross to hang above his bed.

We dressed Thomas in a nice shirt and pants, with a hand-made crochet white sweater a family member of Dave's made for him. I have pictures, but have yet to download them. Too lazy.

I think Thomas is starting to teethe already because he's drooling more and chewing on his hands. He also cries like he's in pain and only a pacifier to chew on or me rubbing his gums quiets him down. It's a bit early, but not unheard of.

How do you know when you've been spending too much time on a computer?

When you're writing or editing something by hand, and you keep searching for the save button.
