At Least it’s Not sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n Roll

Hello All. Still here. Still breathing.

The following conversation just took place in my house:

Friend #1: (Looking in disgust at our geriatric, arthritic cat.) Your cat is really ratty.

Daniel: I know. We need to soak her in olive oil.

Friend #2: (In complete seriousness.) Olive oil is expensive.

Friend #1: You should use vegetable oil.

Friend #2: Wait – why are you soaking your cat in olive oil?

Daniel: I googled it. It will help with her skin condition.

Friend #1: Wow. There’s a google out there for everything.

Tonight I should have taken a picture of our Settlers of Cataan board, because I totally DOMINATED. Alas, the thought didn’t occur to me until it was too late. But I did beat Daniel. Twice.

Todd won’t play Settlers with me and Daniel anymore. He says we’re mean. We say he doesn’t understand how the game works.

Anyway.

I’m not gonna lie – the next few months are gonna be ugly. I’ll be campaigning, momming (totally a word), and – because I always like a challenge – going to school almost full time to recertify. Something’s gotta give, and it will most likely be this blog.

Rest assured that I will back and better than ever after April. Or May. Or November.
