In other words, CHOTA MOTA!
I stayed up very late last night, and now the cold that I have staved off all winter is upon me. It's not too as bad yet, and may still fall to Vitamin C and copious amounts of caffiene, so I won't complain too much. For now. ;-)
We've been busy this past week getting our new computer set up. It works nicely, but we have encountered a few problems with Vista. Nothing earth-shattering, just irritating.
We also had a lot of church activities last week -- something just about every night. It's the same this weekend, with Good Friday and Easter coming up. We're enjoying it, though, it's very uplifting and wonderful to spend time with our church family.
We are expecting snow on Thursday night and Friday. Typical Wisconsin, lol! First day of spring by the calendar and then it snows. I remember growing up with snow falling on Easter, though. So I guess this winter is like the old days. DS and DH will both be happy, I'll be okay with it -- if it doesn't stay for months. ;-)
There was a bombing recently in Islamabad at a restaurant we were quite familiar with when we lived in the country. Not that we ever went there, it was too expensive, but we drove by it a lot! Two friends wrote that they had planned to eat there on the day of the bombing, but decided to save their pennies and eat elsewhere -- thank goodness! Otherwise they would have been there and could have been hurt. As it was, one person was killed, and a dozen or so injured, all expatriates from various embassies and NGO's. There was picture posted in one of the online news articles -- it's so odd to see a picture of a place you recognize in a country on the other side of the world, and have it be in the news because of a bombing. :-(
On a happier note, the sun is shining! I am really learning to appreciate the sun this winter, after so much snow. Hopefully it will shine tomorrow, as well, on the first day of Spring. Before the snow comes again. :-D

Pakistani security officials are seen at the site of Saturday's bomb explosion in Islamabad, Pakistan Sunday, March 16, 2008. Pakistan's capital was on high alert and foreign embassies scrutinized security measures Sunday after a bomb exploded in an Italian restaurant crowded with foreigners, killing a Turkish aid worker and wounding 12 other people. U.S. and British embassy personnel were among the wounded
