28 degrees today, coldest day of the year so far. I'm driving west to meet my dad halfway for the boys' annual winter break visit. I'll drop them off with him and pick them up in a week from my mom. It's always strange to spend extended time without them, but it's worth it for the time they get to spend with their grandparents. I haven't had much of a break over the last week or so, as things have been crazy trying to get ready for the new job. It's worth it, so I don't mind at all. I've missed a lot during my hiatus and I've got tons of comments to catch up on and apologies to make to many of you for being so out of touch. I can't even really bring myself to write about what went on with me the last year or so, but at least I'm finding my words again. A new year is just around the corner. I'm ready!

Other random things that I just want to note...James Carvel is starting to scare the shit out of me with his extruded voice and that face! He is starting to look like the creepy Madame puppet that I hated when I was a kid (although Madame was much funnier and probably smarter). Potato soup is just about one of the best meals in the universe. I've stopped painting my toenails, out of laziness, and noticed that I have those weird old lady ridges on my nails...slight, but still there! Ricky Bobby. Ha! And ha!!! If I didn't know people exactly like that I'm sure it wouldn't have been so funny, but I have spent the last week telling everyone how I'm "a gonna come at 'em like a spider monkey" and I still laugh my ass off at myself every time I say it. I just came into possession of a 1964 Dodge Polara, aka The Money Pit. It's a sparkly pretty blue (not original) and needs some interior work, but it runs and will be a cool car for just goofing around in once the weather is warmer. It's neat to have a car that's the same year model as I am. We both seem to have held up surprisingly well.

Off to the great I-10 for a few hours. Happy holidaze to you all!!!!!

Good to see you back. I know I'm not the only one who has missed you.

Not a lot new here. I had a sex change so now my name is Herbert. I also flew a hot air balloon to Austrailia where I've been living in the gum trees with the Koalas so I know what it is to be one. Hrm... Oh yeah, I'm having a Flying Spaghetti Monster wedding next year.

You have? I feel very honored! I know you have about a billion friends on your LJ. I have always looked forward to seeing your posts. I really do hope we can meet in person some day. Perhaps at the wedding? You'll need to don your favorite pirate regallia. YAR!!

you and many people I know - myself included - seem to have had the year from hell. Glad to see you back and your words were missed.

It's definitely been rough, but with many lessons (the important, never forgotten kind) learned. Next year is definitely going to be a good one...I feel it!
