Dear Computer,
I missed you when your hard drive crashed. Life just isn't as much fun without my email, facebook, or blog to write. I missed my cyber friends and their blogs. I missed printing out worksheets from online and I missed being able to order library books online. I'm so glad your back, up, and running.
I didn't, however, miss my kids often bemoaning the fact that they used their weekly computer time early on in the week and didn't have any left over. I didn't miss the movies we watch on you since our dvd player broke. I didn't even miss the news, which I read on MSNBC due to the fact that we have no tv. In fact, I rather enjoyed being completely clueless over the holidays. One could almost pretend that life revolved only around the happy family times we enjoyed and that the rest of the world really didn't affect us.
Your arrival is met with mixed feelings. All in all, though, I'm glad you're back. If only I didn't have to tell the kids....
Sincerely,
A Reluctant Fan
