Yes, I’m here, and I’m blogging. Crazy, isn’t it? Let’s see if I can get into the swing of things …

What’s new with me? A whole lot of nothing. I’ve been working non-stop over the past few months—oodles of overtime doesn’t allow for much of a personal life, ugh.

It’s sad to say that one sentence sums up the ins and outs of my prolonged absence. Hah. What else can I come up with?

• husband and I saw a few movies. “Star Trek” and “UP” were particular favorites. While I cried (hard) at both of them, they were simply amazing.

• my friend Steve moved to Seattle. Yeah, my IKEA buddy is gone. *sniff*
• husband wants an iPhone. I knew I could convert him.
• I cleaned my apartment. Fascinating, I know. (I did design my teeny tiny closet …)
  

• Damn you, Speidi. I wasted an entire Sunday on an “I’m A Celebrity …” marathon and am shamefully hooked.
• I missed my Xangaversary. 5 years, friends! Barring the past few months, that was almost daily blogging. Crazy.
• we had an anniversary, too. Two years down, forever to go.
• Milo is still adorable. Enough said.
  

This is what happens when you step out from a dark computer room, I guess.

All in all, it’s been nice to step away, but I’m glad to be back, Xanga. I could never quit you anyway.
