Aw, thank you all! *jumpyhugs* and a special *bubblesuit hug* to Alicia, so I don't break my knee again, heehee. I'll have to stick something on my WL, so you don't have to scroll. Scrolling is no fun. :)

El, my mom made me take typing and shorthand also! I'm a very fast and accurate typist when I have a physical keyboard. I can be fast on my phone too, but accuracy? Not so much. Autocorrect is my friend, except when it has no idea what I'm trying to say, then it's not my friend. As for shorthand...well, I remember absolutely nothing. My niece found some of my shorthand homework at my parents' house and showed it to me. I wrote it, but I couldn't figure out what it said to save my life!

My entire immediate family congregates at my parents' house on Friday evenings. My mom makes a big meal for us all, and we just all hang out...from my 3-year-old nephew up to my 20-year-old nephew. I do have one brother who lives a couple thousand miles away, so we Skype with him after dinner. We all crowd around my dad's computer and talk about whatever, and we get to see my brother's kids through the wonders of technology. It's wonderful. I'm very grateful to be able to see my parents, siblings, and all my nieces and nephews so often.
