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.
And of course, last but not least:
I got a tan!
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. <3jen

Holy crap. You look kinda like an oompa loompa. As for me, I've been very pale lately. I need to go BACK into the tanning bed, fo cereal.
Oh, and welcome back! I almost forgot about you.
NICE TAN, blue eyes. look at you.
Welcome back.
@Axis_of_Doom - LOL, that's exactly what husband said. Luckily most of that has faded. I got a free spray tan a few months ago, and came out orange-y. Never again on the spray tan ... the beds are where it's at.
@BarelyJen - I do agree. I'm not saying you look bad. A female oompa-loompa is very sexy. Spank that orange a$$!
Glad you're back!
I'm glad you're back too. I tried to quit Xanga too and took quite a long break from it and here I am once again. I've only been back for about two days but already I feel better.
Wow, you DID get a tan!

Thanks for the update...we were about to send out the hounds...but Dan fed them turkey, so they were nappin'.
I was worrying about you! I'm glad you're back!!

You're a carrot? What the hell happened while you were away?!
iphone is evil. G1 for the win.
@edlives - Was that "almost" turkey?
@Schristian - yeah...poor dogs.
you know, i like xanga breaks. they are really refreshing, glad you came back though! (:
Oh God. I don't want to hear that it's THAT hard to quit Xanga. I'm screwed. LOL. Of course, I tried to take a break once.
That lasted an hour. Ha.
There you are! I wondered where you were.
Don't forget to take the measurements of your closet before buying any shelving/storage units.
May I recommend The Container Store? It is heaven on Earth for people like me.
Elfa would be a good thing to look at.
