was awesome because I have an wonderful family. Sweet husband gave me a tablet which I'm going to learn how to use for maximum effect come hell or high water. (Bamboo..small but mighty.) It's so much fun yet frustrating at the same time.

The other gift I got, from the girls, is also fun and frustrating...Mario Kart for the Wii complete with steering wheels. Danie and I spent an hour or so playing the game before going to see "Speed Racer", which was an awful cartoon in the 60's but a visually fun movie in the 21st century. I suck at Kart. I'm really great at watching movies, though.

So i will be experimenting with my drawings via tablet and finding more of my inner artist...where ever it exists, possibly in another dimension that is unaccessible from this one. (Can you tell I'm frustrated with my progress? I'll get over it eventually. No one likes a whiny mommy.)

And i will be playing with Kart just to have a good laugh. I have been driving for 40 years so one would think I could do it with a Wii steering wheel. Of course, I should probably take my thumb off the accelerator once in a while...not go full out around every single turn...but what's the fun in that?
