Say it isn't so!

Today I got a comment from my friend Alisa who holds the record for "Duration of Friendship" and she was upset with me about my lack of blogging. I know! I was astounded too. But then I though, well, it's probably time to introduce some of the new things in my life, so, here we go:

1) I got me a job. It's true. I work, broadly defined, as a receptionist for Missoula County. I'm enjoying it. It's very odd to be back at work after a year of sitting on my tuckus and studying but it's also nice to have some outside structure. Let's hear it for gainful employment!

2) Tristin, mother of the greatest godson alive, is going to add to my godbrood! I could not be happier for her! Let's hear it for more kids!

3) I got a netbook. Finally. And a flip video camera. Eventually I'll add a small point-and-shoot so that I'll be able to bring you EVEN MORE pictures of Charlotte and the eventual godbaby. I know, dance in joy! Here's a picture of 11 inches of fun...


4) I had a...wait for it...date! Like, in person! And he drove to me! And then paid for dinner! And asked me cute questions and smiled at my dumb joke, occasionally even laughing. And the doors, well, they were opened. I nearly pulled a 'Carrie with Alexander at the Russian Ballet'* After all that, I still got these a couple of days later...


Yes, I acknowledge that blogging about a date after a single date is risky, kind of stupid and opening myself up for all kinds of ridicule. Bring it on. I'll just respond to you from my tiny keyboard of pure joy and then stop to smell my roses.



*I know, obscure Sex and the City reference. For the unwashed masses, Carrie is overwhelmed by the romance of her boyfriend when he asks to stop and dance by the fountains on their way to the ballet. She pretends to faint and then says, "You've got to dial it back. I'm a single New Yorker. I can't take all this romance." or something very like that. Then they go to McDonalds. I heart that scene.
