eeeek.

So. Here we are, eons later.

I don't even know where to start, but here goes... since I have had numerous requests to get my blog going again. And since I've become somewhat reclusive during the past few months, maybe this will be a good way to update inquiring minds?

I haven't written anything for public consumption in - oh - forever, so I'm a little rusty. I am going to lame-out and go with a bulleted format, just to state a few important items... each one could probably be an entire blog entry itself, but this is why I've put off updating for so long -- it's simply overwhelming. This is about all I can manage for now:

  • Hank is large.
    Like 13 pounds large, and just now a year old! He is hysterical. We lurve him. also, he has a new girlfriend, since Piper wasn't being very cougar-like...
  • Introducing: Bella!

    She is about 6 1/2 months old, and she was an accident. An unplanned addition to the family, if you will. She comes from dubious roots, from a vague Craigslist ad in Col. Springs. R's youngest daughter adopted her in a fit of pet craving, then realized a few hours into it that she is still quite allergic to cats. We inherited Bella the next day. Though reluctant at first, we are now Bella-enthusiasts and can't imagine life with her. Neither can Hank...

  • In January, I once again became a statistic when my company did layoffs. While I am in good company, I am most assuredly looking for a new writing gig, whether that be full time or freelance. I am restless and anxious. But I don't want this post to focus on that right now. So, moving on... (although - if you have any leads, I will be your best friend forever - if i'm not already ;)
  • I am getting married this October on a cruise with close friends and family, although I am not actively planning the "wedding" part of it due to a lack of finances and inspiration. The two are intrinsically linked, btw. However, the cruise is still on, one way or another...
I know there is a lot more. A LOT more I'm not saying. But this is a good start, no? One big thing I've been contemplating is where to go with blogging in general. Do I want to keep this personal blog, or make a new one with a different focus? Do I want to continue to blog as myself, or go anonymous? I am struggling with the global blogging dilemma of how honest I can be when I'm blasting my thoughts into the ether.

Until next time...
