Title?

Wow.  I was pregnant with Speck when last we spoke.

Speck starts kindergarten in the fall.  He’ll be 5 on May 29th (and is, in fact, a he.)

Took me forever to get back in here, I don’t have the old email address and apparently I’ve used more passwords than I thought…spend the other night searching through old forwarded emails for potential email addresses I’d forgotten about.  Oh yeah, I had one @cox.net.  Boom.  That magic key that opens my diary.

Extremely glad to be back, as I’m finding that I’m far less eloquent than I once was…possibly from lack of reading much more than children’s books (we just started The BFG.)  Friends I used to write with on the Tower are begging me to catch up (I know, it’s been YEARS since A Memory of Light came out.  Children’s books, I tell you.  That’s it.) and restart the Tower.  I gave myself to the end of May to catch up on the books (I should start them, hmm?) and my birthday present to myself will be getting it going again.

Really, this couldn’t have come at a better time.  OD coming back, I mean.  My bff mommy friend (Bina) just moved several states away with her family (her sons are the same age as my daughters – see updated cast list within the next few hours) and most mornings we’d have coffee together in her dining room or mine, and chat.  Get things off our chest.  Laugh.  FaceTime is just not the same.

An update of everything that’s happened since OD closed will not be happening; see cast list for new characters should you want or need to.

Current life involves hating Zillow for not having the perfect house for us (totally their fault, right?) and trying to make our 1100 square feet work for us better than it does.

RooBaby is done with lunch so the few minutes I had to jump on have come to an end.
