I have not forgotten you...
Yes, I realize it's been like forever since I posted. But since I still have to make a trip to the library to use the internet, and all I really want to do when I get out off the office is go home and hide, it makes things a little trickier.
Just celebrated (Is that the right word???) my 1 year anniversary at work last Thursday. Mom and Dad sent flowers, and they're lovely. I now have a Lionhead bunny at home named Pipkin, who I believe may be semi-evil, but I love him anyhow. He's still the only man in my life. Yes, I know I'm sad; I've come to terms with it.
Joe and Magee are expecting -- a boy, due May 8. Joe is in Cuba at Guantanamo Bay, and Magee gets released from the service next month and will live in Oregon until he comes back to the states and can move to MI. Codi is also expecting -- a little girl, due April 3. Complicated situation, but I'm trying to be as supportive as possible. Lance spends most of his spare time with his girlfriend Amy, who he's been seeing since this summer, and Shane is living in my parents' basement and is unemployed. Mom had surgery last month and is still kind of recovering. Dad is Dad.
My buddy Kim from the NorthWind started at the paper a couple of weeks ago, and even tho we barely get a chance to talk, it's nice to have her there. Still not socializing a whole lot, especially since Alicia, my main compatriot at work, went to India to write as part of a UN program. But I get out every once in a while with a few girls from work. They're great people and I truly enjoy their company, but they're all married, one has an infant and one is trying, and I find myself listening to relationship conversations and nodding as if I know what's going on a lot of the time. It's not their fault, and I don't want them to feel bad about me being left out. But it kind of sucks. A lot.
Anyhow, I'm done whining for the time being. Consider yourself filled in on the major events of the past few months. Lata.
