Back to life. . .
Hi all.
I have been non-communicative for a while now. There was a crazy busy week, followed by a fabulous long weekend in Vegas (so not complaining), and a scramble to get back to normal, and the little one is really sick again, so things have been rather nuts.
I have cleared the email box and marked the letters that I did receive so that I remember to write back when things calm down. You are on my to-do list, and thank you for your words--I do so love words from friends.
I will also have a chance to read the posts that have occurred in my time away. That is what religious people call a confession of faith. Bless (insert deity or lack there of here) I will be able to sit down and read and write and be a functional member of this gaggle in the near future. Sure. I'll light a candle for the cause.
Here are a few little notes until we have a chance to actually talk:
1) everyone should get a personal shower head. One of those things with a hose and several settings that attaches to the existing pipe and gives life more meaning for the low low price of about $40 at Home Depot and 10 minutes (or less) with a wrench. Seriously, I've come to this place where I think that life is just to damn short not to add little luxuries into it, and frankly I feel like I'm living rich, one shower at a time. Plus there are very creative ways to use up all the hot water. I'm just saying. . .
2) Did you know that the largest adult toy store in the nation is in Vegas? Not really a surprise, but fun trivia anyway. It's two story, and if you've thought of it, it has it's own section. If you haven't thought of it, there's at least a small area of a shelf dedicated to it, so when you go, set aside a good chunk of time so that you can see all there is to see. Hey, some people stop on a road trip to see the world's largest ball of twine. If you're going to hit the largest anything, I'm thinking adult toy shop certainly wins out over twine. Didn't they have a twine section in the store. . . huh, can't really remember. . .
3)Avenue Q is really really funny, and the largest amount of money we dropped on anything that we couldn't eat was for the tickets, with the second largest amount being the stuff we bought in the gift shop. We now have some killer coffee mugs that say "It sucks to be me" and "The more you love someone the more you want to kill them" respectively. This gaggle would really like it.
That's it for me. Duty calls. If you get a chance, think happy thoughts for Gage--the little guy is really sick again. The doctor said that this isn't really a red flag or anything like that because he keeps getting different things, but we're still in the waiting pattern for those lymph nodes anyway, so I'm still counting everything as important until he gets a clean report.
Take care, everyone. Love to all. I will manage to get back to everyone.
