Here's what going on, the quick & dirty version:

It's way too hot here and I'm ready for fall. Busted my chin open at our last bout, blood on the track (thank you, Bob Dylan!), and then super-glued it together like MacGyver! Work is getting interesting. Sallie Mae still has me in a fucking chokehold and now I hear the CEO may buy a baseball team. All you politicians who keep selling off our rights to the CORPORATION can eat a dick. I hate you with a burning sun of hatred. My boys are growing like crazy and it's freaking me out! I am planning on going to Marfa in November to hang out with all the other wandering desert artists...part of the big master plan to become the 21st century Georgia O'Keefe (only with not much painting talent!). I have a big crush that I'm sure won't last, but he's like catnip to me and I just want to rub my face up against him every time I see him. Meow. I have another dog that I rescued off the streets. A pug named Bug. He's a big pain in the ass and he snores and burps and farts all over me but I love him! I have four dogs now, but they are all so small that they really only count as 1/2 a dog...so the real count should be two. Still, I'm at maximum capacity for the animal orphanage. No más. My hair is finally getting back to its old braidable self. Thank goodness! I feel like myself again. Weekend coming up, a roller derby bout in Austin--our first interleague game ever--and then the countdown to real fall weather. I can't wait! Friday!! Monster movies and popcorn with the kids tonight. And probably more dog farts. Ah, life.

Ha!

Very cool to catch up with ya', CC -- and your new doggin'???? You crack me up!!! Our rescue Took is also a font of everflowing gas. What in our karma has brought this on??? I'm thinking something along the line of windbag diverted, but I've been wrong before...

Another year, another train trip not taken.

Oh well. We'd probably just end up hitchhiking in the intermountain desert alkali, surrendering what dignity we've mustered as mom this past decade...

Hope your chin scars cool --
love,
E

You're back on lj!!! (sporadically, I know) I'm thinking of making a comeback too.

Sporadically is about all I seem able to manage lately! : ) Life intervenes and leaves no time for writing much these days. Do you still have my email? It's ccompton at gmail. Let me know what's going on with you and that wee one when you have time! As for me, roller derby has taken over most of my free time (plenty of roller derby pics over at www.myspace.com/nitaspankin) and I've been working on a lot of art projects. The writing is brewing in my head, but I haven't gotten much done for months.
