Hey all!

I'm taking time off from posting until I'm happier with the direction life is going - for me and for everyone else. Just wanted to pop in and wish every one of my friends on LJ and in real life a very Happy New Year. May 2009 bring us all happiness, good will, good economics, good love, good friends, and good luck.

Let me e'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

1. I owe my mother an apology - I was supposed to drive with her out to meet up with my sister and her kids in Tennessee on Sunday, and I didn't because I haven't been sleeping well and wanted to sleep in that morning.

I've become a huge fan of "Bill in Portland Maine"'s Cheers and Jeers blog on the Dailykos site - it's become regular daily reading for me.

And once again it's snowing in Atlanta - those of you living in cold climates would be terribly amused by the OMG!!!111 panic that sets in if anything resembling snow hits the forecast.

My mom-in-law made it in on Thursday from Ohio, and has been having fun playing with Luna. The real reason she came down (I haven't seen her in a year) is to see the ( Read more... )
