Oh the Stories I Could Tell

I have to chuckle at my own determination, or lack thereof with regard to this, my blog.  Every once in a while I become very determined to blog and then I get home at 11p knowing I have to get up for work at 5a and I lose all steam. 

Lots has happened since February when I last posted (are we shocked?) so let me give you the rundown on life.

1. G got into grad school, so we'll be moving to Massachusetts in August.  We're excited and terrified, as we should be.
2. I've reaffirmed my personal commitment to theater.  Didn't know that needed to happen, didja?  Well, now you do, but rest easy - I'm back
3. Grandma, who was the glue that held that side of the family together, passed away.  She was 88 (almost 89) and a kind and gentle force to be reckoned with.  She'd struggled with cancer for several years so while I miss her terribly, I can't be sad that her suffering is over.
4. Because of the happening mentioned in #1 above, I have the incredible opportunity to hit the restart button on life a bit.  Of course I'm looking for work and all that, but there's a certain freedom in knowing that my skills are transferable to loads of fields which keeps my options for the future blissfully open.
5. G and I have both found a Lot of excellent thrifting finds.  Hopefully I'll be posting more of those in the last half of this month.  
6. I have been enjoying the out of doors in summertime more than I can recall doing since I was a seriously young little lady.  I am absolutely Loving the sunshine and warm temps for long walks to the beach or though parks and Adoring the quiet cool of a cold beer on the front porch while we water the lawn at midnight-thirty when we're the only ones up except the lightening bugs.  Long sentence...was that a run-on?  Anyone really care?  No?  Good.
7. Other tragedies big and small have occurred to those around me and I suppose to me as well.  We all muddle through as best we can and try to find the silver lining.  Silver's worth something these days...I mean with the economy still stalled and all...

I'd love to say that I'll have an outfit post or food post when I get home, but instead I'm going to play it by ear.  I'll see you when I see you and hopefully that'll be sooner than later.
