Aaaaaand, we're back

Good lord, woman, where have you been? I'll tell you where I haven't been, and that's here. I haven't stopped writing, for the most part, I just haven't been posting.

Did you notice?

Dad once asked me why I blog, why have such a public journal. I told him that it helps me keep my thoughts in order. I've found that it also helps me be closer to my friends who stop by to read what I wrote. They may not live close, we may not talk every day, but my having stopped posting as much as I had been has made me realize that, hey, they're still very much in my life (which makes me happy!). And when I do see them, or talk to them, we always have something to talk about (though, honestly, I wish more of my friends also blogged so that I knew more about what's going on in their lives, but that's a different plea).

Maybe the one way postings of a blog aren't really so one way after all.

With all of that out of the way, hey, guess what happened today.

Yup.

A visitor! Whoo!

I forgot to tell Kris about her visit, though. Whoops.

Anyway, I've given up on the keep all the posts in order, and plan on backfilling for the last month. Go ahead, read away.
