Hi I'm alive

I have returned. Returned a couple weeks ago, in fact. Still haven't been reading LiveJournal. It hasn't helped that the weekend we got back, my husband's computer suffered a catastrophe and had to have Windows reinstalled, and since then we haven't gotten Internet Connection Sharing set up properly again, so we have net only on his computer, not mine. (If you have any advice to offer regarding the problem, feel free to comment!)

So what's up? Well, this week said husband is away on a business trip, so I'm trying to get things done around the house that I haven't yet been motivated to do, like find places for the remaining items in boxes that we never unpacked, hang pictures on the walls, get rid of clothing I don't wear, and so on. Have also been hanging out with a friend who will probably be moving out of state next month.

We're thinking seriously of getting a dog this summer, but I should probably do some research first regarding care and training. I spent some time reading up on aquariums before I bought my first fish. Speaking of which, it would be nice to set up the fish tank again, too. Maybe with real live plants this time, and fewer/less expensive fish. Shrimp are almost as interesting. The only things we've decided about the dog are that it should be fairly small, an adult, and adopted from a shelter. Oh, and not have a problem with cats, other dogs, or young children.
