Divorce

Yes, it is sad but true. I look at it as a new path of growth. An oppurtunity to move beyond that which I know. He was making me feel limited, stifled and unappreciated. So I moved out awhile back. I'm making it official now, and telling the world (because he forces me too!) that I have moved on and will not be coming back.

I now live here and we are blissfully happy, she and I. Come visit me sometime!

Retiring

I am retiring this blog. it's been fun and great to me, but my life has changed so much that it doesn't fit anymore and I have to move on. I might start another one at some point, but not right away. I will let some of you know if that occurs.

Email me if you need my flickr info.

thanks for all of the wonderful comments and laughs these past couple of years!

Swarmed by children

I want to blog. I really do. And I even sit in front of the computer long enough to probably write something down, but it probably would be unintelligible, short and really really badly spelled. It seems that when I'm at the computer there's not much time wasting going on. I'm either paying bills, or selling things on craigslist or ebay, or balancing the checkbook or throwing pictures onto flickr really quick. and as soon as I get a chance to do those things a child appears to demand attention.

Who are these little beings in my house? I didn't ask to have my time interrupted into little time pieces of "me" time.

I haven't been able to construct a clean linear thought to even write down. And those that I have are completely inappropriate for this audience. So...here I sit. Blogless.

Oh...here's a cute story.

My girlfriend Kate turned 30 this past weekend, so we drove to Squarebanks (yes, all people in Fairbanks are square)(thank goodness Kate lives in North Pole!) to help throw a surprise party with her family. It was a great party and a great trip. On Saturday we were laying around her beautiful little house having chocolate martinis and gabbing when she decided I needed my toenails painted!

What kind of friend, on her birthday, at her own house, decides to paint someone else's toes? Not only did she paint them, but she practically gave me a full pedicure. She's spectacular! And my toes look beautiful...see -



So I think me and my new pretty toenails and wacky bunion will be going out on the town tonight. I'm talking BIG TIME! A little Red Robin and maybe a little Kidz Zone Action. (insert cat call here) I'm gonna party it up!
