Ok, I'll try...

Today is Saturday, and I should be on the mountain filming David's ski race. Unfortunately, I've contracted bronchitis again, so the doctor ordered me to stay home all weekend. I guess that gives me time to try this blog! Mom and Michael are up on the mountain. Mom is gatekeeping, and Michael is filming the girls' race. Chi Miller is filming the boys race for me.

Emily and Dave's web site and email are back up again. Somehow the internet erased the DNS pointer that shows the "frogley.name" site where to go. Their account setup on our hosting site has always been a little wierd with some parts of the setup invisible to me for some reason. By working with the hosting company, we were able to get things all setup again, this time the right way. All should be fine now.

In case you haven't heard, we've also been working on getting our projector mounted on the ceiling in the family room. The most difficult part was running the wires. At some point, we had to run wires under the house. After being under the house for about 15 minutes, I decided I couldn't stand it any more. I had to get out. I was feeling closter phobic and I couldn't think clearly. So I got out. To complete the job, I cut a large hole in a wall, drilled a hole from the above ground level, and then send Michael and Steven under the house to get things connected up.

I have to say that it is a new experience for me to ask my children to do something I can't do myself. Does that make sense? While Michael and Steven were under the house, I paced back and forth constantly. I was in radio contact with Michael, and he was just fine under the house, but still, when I know how I felt under there, it was hard to send my kids there. But they did a great job. I took a picture of them under the house, but it's still on mom's camera which is currently on the mountain with her. I'll have to add it later.

Anyway, now all the wiring is done and tested. We're still waiting for the projector mount itself to arrive.

Ok, Lindsay, there you go. I blogged. My first time ever. After all, I can't ask my kids to do something I'm not able to do myself!
