Ah, June is here…
June 2nd, 2008Yes, yes, I did drop off the face of the world, why do you ask?
Let’s review, in the past month, I’ve flown something close to 10,000 miles, spent less than 96 total hours in my home (and as a result in my very own bed), had exactly 4 home cooked meals TOTAL, worn the same clothes that I packed for a one week cruise to Alaska for three straight weeks — yes, I did a little laundry along the way, and finally, I stayed in 5 hotel rooms, one cruise ship cabin, and flew on 10 different airplanes.
Yes, I’m still tired — but I’m unpacked. I’m two loads of laundry away from that being done and yet I still need to put a few odds and ends away — like yarn.
But the big news is that summer vacation can FINALLY begin. The problem is that even though the vacation can begin, I’m too tired to care. I have two weeks before summer camp begins and I had grand plans of fun outings, cooking, playing, and such in those weeks. As of this moment, I’m hoping we get dressed most days and maybe make it out to a park once or twice. That’s me — over promise and under deliver!
I have so much to tell you, like why I stayed in so many hotel rooms or the time I feel down in a yarn shop that everything was 50% off and they weren’t going out of business. I also want to tell you that I did lots of knitting, but sadly I didn’t — it was like my knitting mojo was on break. I’m finally ready to get back into the groove, but the need to vacuum is calling my name first.
So — what’s been happening with you?

Welcome back! I’m glad you’re home safe and sound. I know it’s been a rough couple weeks, my thoughts and prayers have been with you.

Hi! Welcome home!
I wish I was there so that we could have lunch and a play date…
What’s new with me? I moved to Alaska.
I tried to meet up with you when you were here, but you didn’t call me. We have a house to live in. I have lost my craft room. The boys are registered with their new charter school for next year. I’ve lost 3.5 pounds (I gained about 10 thanks to the move!). And I’m living in fear that we’ll get the call and have to move again this summer.
There’s lots of updates on my blog. No pictures, but lots of updates.

Was there ever a more beautiful word than HOME? Where you can eat what you want, wear what you want, and sleep with your own pillow (and cats, in your case). Glad you guys made it safely.
