Hello, All! I'm trying to avoid the now-jaded apology for being so negligent on here. As an alternative, I'll tell you what's been so dang all-consuming in my life. No less boring, but maybe a bit less groveling.
So the deal is that I've been so busy keeping myself busy to avoid the winter blues that I'm feeling a tad overburdened. The hubs and I have been working on a little building project (to be announced once the surprise has been sprung on the surprisee) and doing some traveling, and I have been dabbling in some freelance stuff and embarking on the beginning stages of selling our barnhouse. It is currently posted on several real estate sales sites, but remains, at present, unlisted. This latter, you may remember, is step one in our Master Relocation and Family Reunification Plan. Sell it and they will come, if you will. If they (the kids) don't, we will still live happily ever after, in our projected new home base, lakeside, in the Carolinas. Could be worse, eh? Wish us luck, because it ain't a completely-rosey prospect. This gal is a dyed-in-the-wool Midwesterner and lover of all things homey and heartlandy -- except maybe tole painting and ruffles. It's not that I don't like 'em; I'm just, personally, more streamlined in practice.
So thas whassup here. In terms of my now-defunct newspaper column... I miss my weekly conversation with my sweet small town, but those other things on the burner are starting to simmer.
Talk to you again soon!
Leaving the Midwest... you'll need a passport. Where else in the country do they serve sloppy joes, go to bed with snow and wake up with sunshine? Can't wait to hear about your adventures in moving... fun, fun!?
