I was thinking the other day, that even with my 3 blogs and Facebook that I didn't really have any place for longer form blog type entries. And then I said, duh, LJ. So, I'm hoping to get back in the habit of writing here more often ( Read more... )

I haven't written much here lately, and I don't really blame facebook. There just hasn't been much anything of substance to write.

This weekend, though, my writing critique group is having a mini-retreat up at Birch Bay. We're taking advantage of our timeshare location there. I haven't been to this one before, so I am looking forward to it.

Work is work.

School
I will not be taking the summer off.  The first of my three summer classes starts only a week or so after my last final.  One of the requirements for my degree is a 10 day international experience.   I will be going to Ireland next Spring break.
