While filing I found this poem my friend, Elissa Edge, sent me many years ago; thought it was quite appropriate for my posting record recently!
(Author Unknown)
Just a note to say I'm living
that I'm not among the dead.
Though I'm getting more forgetful
and mixed up in the head.
I got used to my arthritis,
to my dentures I'm resigned.
I can manage my bifocals
but gosh I miss my mind!
For sometimes I can't remember,
when I stand at the foot of the stairs,
If I must go up for something
or have I just come down from there?
And before the fridge so often,
my poor mind is filled with doubt.
Have I just put food away
or have I come to take some out?
So if it's my turn to write you
there's no need for getting sore;
I may think that I have written
and don't want to be a bore.
Just remember that I love you
and wish that you were near.
Now it's nearly mail time
so I must say goodbye, my dear.
Here I stand beside the mailbox
with a face so very red!
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I have opened it instead!

After reading this again, I realize this actually sounds like how well my mind works (or doesn't) when I'm pregnant! =)
I'm thinking once again that I will start posting things about sewing and quilting, and use picasa for family photos and such. Baby is due in a week now, so don't know how regular that will be either!
