I'm so lame...but I'm back now, so hi!

I have no idea where the last couple of weeks have gone other than to say that the following happened, in no particular order, but when you see the list you might understand why I've been quiet.

Son came home for a week.


Daughter came back from San Diego.


Life was lived in the form of family dinners, long conversations at strange and wonderful hours, and we reconnected.


I went to Chicago for a week on business.


I'm back, but pretty well wiped out.


Son went to NY for the summer. To work. And to reconnect with his friends. And to be OUT of the middle east for a couple of months.


I have begun my yoga practice in earnest, and managed to do it all but one day while I was in Chicago which helped immensely! Yay yoga....

Memorial Day Weekend is upon us, and I'm taking off tomorrow to extend it a bit. Plans for the weekend include but aren't limited to:

Workouts


Pedicure


Hanging out with Daughter while Hubby does his annual male bonding backpacking trip with the guys


Hosting a girls' dinner


Relaxing


Reading


Writing a bit. Trying to decide if I want to start a big project like a novel and see if I have the wherewithall to see it through. Decided the first one is fine, but I no longer want to finish it. I have new things to say and new ways to say them..I think. More on that later.

So, I've been kind of on the move, I guess. But now I'm back, and will no doubt be chatty again.

Happy Memorial Day!

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly
