Ready to resume contact.

I know I've been lax on the whole blogger thing, but I really haven't been up to blogging. I don't know why. I figure rather than give you a halfhearted product that I would wait.

So here are the snippets of what's been happening:
--been shopping for bridesmaid's dresses for my best friend's wedding
--got a better (read: more stable) position in my company
--bought some great new shoes

--went to way too many bridal showers for other friends (not mine, excuse me while I pout)
--experienced my first strip club
--went to a wine festival last night and got toasted
--found some lovely wines I might not have tried before, like Mark Davidson's Chardonnay and Black Oak's Riesling, which are definitely coming home with me again soon, because they were way yummy. There was a fantastic Cab Sauv, too, but I was already drunk so I don't remember the brand.
--been working on the next printed issue of the magazine
--spent way too much money on warmer clothing because it got really freaking cold for 1 1/2 weeks
--can't wear my new clothes because it's near 90 again
--pouting because the Bucs suck
--pouting because the Lightning suck
--wondering how they can say how good the Devil Rays are doing when they couldn't have done worse -- they can only improve at this juncture
--went to a couple geocaching events
--decided what to get Christen for Christmas
--am at a loss on what to get everyone else for Christmas
--am really freaked out that it's so close to Christmas
--read some great books, encluding Speaking With the Angel, a collection of short stories edited by Nick Hornby.

My favorite sentence.

Everyone who reads obsessively has a favorite sentence.

(ps- if you don't read, what's your favorite movie quote?)

a quickie

You know you're in for an intellegent conversation with someone when you mention '80s hair bands and they bring up Flock of Seagulls.

I'll return shortly

It seems I'm taking a short sabbatical. I just haven't been in the blogging mood. I'll return; never fear.

True, I hope?

All I want is a roll in the grass

It all came back.

So I'm sitting in the doorway typing while Lola prances around the backyard, browsing blogs when I read about atpanda's fire obsession and think, "Hey, I'm like that too!" Mine's a little different, though. I really only obsess about fire when I'm in the house. I check the stove constantly to make sure there was nothing left on it, and if I go to bed while Christen is still awake then
