*I… am here. Alive and well. Sometimes I just drop out of life for a while. It used to happen out of depression, but now it just happens. Thing is, it usually happens in February. Not April. It’s very hard to explain, but has been happening to me for most of my life. Now, on to better things!

*I…had a second date with Greg Monday night! It was quite lovely, we went to a local crafts store and walked around to kill time before we went to a movie. We are both crafty people, myself being a painter, and him doing a little of everything, mainly woodburning. We went to see ‘The Last House on the Left’, a slasher flick, which was pretty good, but I was having a hard time giving it my full attention! Hmmm… We then went to dinner at a wings place. We both had wings. Eat em’ with your fingers, greasy, messy, dripping, wings. No room to be shy there! AND we both had garlic wings to boot! I am so very proud of myself, as I again kept my legs crossed on the advice of Mummy Nat! This is getting difficult!

*I …had a great birthday! Saturday, (the 4th)I had dinner at my dad’s house, then joined my friends at a pub for drinks, then my best friend Ricky invited us all back to his place to finish off the evening! All my fave girls came, and as usual, we danced the night away listening to vinyl, and my friend Alicia’s ipod on which she put together a special playlist for me! Sunday, my mom and step dad took me out to dinner at one of my favourite BBQ joints. Monday found me relaxing, and on Tuesday, my actual birthday, my friend Alicia took me out for wings (I really like wings) and then to the local watering hole where we were joined by the rest of our group!

*I…have a birthday celebration theory. If your birthday falls on a weekday, you may celebrate for your birthday the weekend before, the week of, and the weekend after. If your birthday falls on a weekend, (you lucky duck!) you may celebrate the weekend before, the week leading up to, the weekend of your birthday, the week after, and the next weekend! After that, may the force be with you!

*If…you are a parent and yes, I mean YOU! You have the hardest, most important job in the world! Go aisy on yerself! As long as you are doing the best you can, that’s all anyone can ask. If they ask for more, shoot them with a laser beam!

I just wanted to add this funny photo, my mother would probably keel over if she knew I was showing it.

This is my mom posing with her 'grand kitties' Boo Radley is perched on her shoulder and Scout is in her arms. Yes, they are really both as big as they look. Boo turned 5 on April 9th, and Scout will be 10 on July 1st. (Mom is 37)
