to Dad

I realized I hadn't blogged for awhile when my dad wrote in his most recent email, "Oh, it's been five days since you've blogged. Just so you know. :-)" He always does that smiley face. 

So yes, it's been five days since I've blogged. And hear are the five excuses, um, I mean reasons that I haven't blogged. 

1. The pictures on my camera from the camel ride I took last week won't seem to load onto my computer. Yes, I went on a camel ride and haven't blogged about it . . . whoops . . . 
2. The internet is sooo slow and it feels like more work to get a blog post up. Especially with pictures. It's much easier to load emails and watch an episode of the Brady Bunch. 
3. The electricity has been off for awhile (and might not be on for a few weeks) and I don't want to "waste" my computer battery by blogging . . . ha, since when has blogging been a waste of time? 
4. My friend's blogs about their new experiences at college are much more interesting for me to read. I hold you responsible, Rachel Bennett. 
5. I want to blog about my little sis's birthday, but I feel awful because I can't remember if her birthday is on the 22nd or 26th of August. 

Now that I've gotten all excuses set aside, look forward to a post about my camel ride adventure tomorrow.
