I haven't blogged in a about a week and the problem is my computer. I'm having problems with my 10 month old Gateway computer!!! I'm going to send it back to Gateway tomorrow for them to repair. It is totally bumming me out because first of all, this Gateway is ONLY 10 months old!! Secondly it is my only computer downstairs and the one I use the most. I do have a big ole Dell desktop upstairs so that's good. The bad part about that is I try my best not to go upstairs that often. haha
Why? About a year and a half ago I fell from the top of my steps to the bottom and broke a couple of ribs AND my left ankle on both sides, the tibia and the fibula. To be honest, I thought I had killed myself. In fact, that was my thought as I fell down those steps-- well, this is it, you've killed yourself. The paramedics told me when they came with the ambulance that because I am well padded and the steps were padded I was very lucky my injuries weren't worse. I had to have surgery and the surgery became infected and I was bedfast for almost 3 or 4 months because I was not allowed up on my foot. Anywho, I'm better now and my ankle is healed, thank God. I do have a bad limp and everyday, I know I have had a broken ankle. (I came very close to losing that foot and I do thank the Lord that I did not lose it, so thank you God again!)
I do not go upstairs except maybe a couple times a week. Isn't that sad? I am afraid of falling down the steps, still yet. My husband put an extra rail up for me so I have two rails to grab onto when I walk up or down them, but still I am very wary of going up and down the steps. (To be honest, I have always been wary of going up and down any steps) So... I go up there 2 or 3 times a week, to wash clothes and so forth. NOW, I'm going to have to go up there more because I do not think I can go days and days without the computer. I would miss it so. I tell myself it would be good for me to go up those steps more and I know it would... but...sigh.
I'll quit feeling sorry for myself right now! LOL. Ok, I'm so spoiled and I'm a major whiner too, I guess.
OH, Lost was just ok this past week, not the blockbuster of last week, but it was pretty good. I knew not to expect two blockbuster episodes two weeks in a row! I DO have HIGH expectations for this week's show.
Until next time, Be Blessed.

Wow, what a fall! Thankfully, you didn't lose a foot and you have all your 'parts'!
I can understand why you are leery about going upstairs but thats exactly the reason you should do it! A LOT! Attack those stairs and prove to yourself that there is absolutely no reason to fear them, your fall was a total accident, and there is nothing to be afraid of, it won't happen again!
By getting up and working the stairs, you will loosen that ankle up too, get some good exercise and feel powerful!
Also, I liked your post on Obama although I do not like Obama. I think its very important to understand that yes, he is a powerful, powerful speaker, but under it all, he has very socialist beliefs.
His being black does not deter me in the least, as I am not prejudiced. However, there is so much reverse discrimination that goes on in this country, that I am often sick to my stomach. Left and right there are black universities, black coalitions, the NAACP, etc... and membership requires you be black. If the whites do it, its racism! Some blacks play the 'race card' every chance they get, which undermines everything this country and their beloved Martin Luther King Jr. has done to try and bridge race and promote equality. That is really sad.
Even though I respectfully disagree with your candidate, I do respect the fact that you wrote about him so beautifully. At least people are interested in our presidential process and voicing their opinions!
Onto LOST, I have sort of become turned off of LOST in the past two weeks. I get like this every so often when the questions continue to pile on and the writers do very little to explain anything. The plotline continues to get thicker and thicker and hardly anything is resolved! I also think that the blog has sort of ruined it for me too... it all started that week that someone attacked me for spoiling something, which, if you read the comments, wasn't a spoiler at all, but just a thought... then, after everyone showed me so much support, that person decided to attack me again and wouldn't let up, even though I really never did anything wrong. I don't think they liked the support I received from the posters. So when they started posting under my name and saying that I thought I looked like this, that I was an attention whore, and everything else they said, I stopped reading the blog. The blog somehow turned from being about LOST to being about how to bash LIT. I bet that this week I will feel better about the episode all the way around if I don't look at the blog- for me, its become very depressing.
Have a great week-
