Damn, I hate this when it happens.  My Lego League team needs a laptop for the competition in less than two weeks and I haven’t come up with any options.  Nobody has one lying around they can loan us.

What would you do if you needed a cheap working laptop in a big hurry?  Must run Win98, be PIII or better and as close to $500 as possible.  (I know, I’m not asking for much…)

eBay it?  other?  I'm all ears.

It amazes me every day that the two little eggs I bore to term are so entirely different.

The first is an incredibly conscientious, generous and highly analytical person, who keeps everyone on task and on time and is an ardent artist.

The second is a happy-go-lucky, charming chatterbox, who loves to read, hear and tell stories and is incredibly particular about food and comforts.

It amazes me more that they arrived in that order.  Believe me when I say that life would have been dramatically different in this house had they been in the opposite order.  Everything would have been far more challenging.

I count my blessings, too, that both are so incredibly fit and healthy.  How did I get so damned lucky?

I’ll bet your mother felt the same thing about you, too.
