consequences of being powerfree.

Did you know that it's Day 11 of my life without a laptop?  Oh yes, totally true.  Can you imagine me without my laptop?  I look sad... and bored... like this dude...

  • told you about my guest post today over at my lovely friend Toni's Wifely Steps blog where I write about my own Wifely Steps.  Please hit that link to Toni's, check my post and her whole blog, and leave a comment or two (or three).

    So, awesome, right?
