My excuses for no new entries: I wasn't sure any of you were out there and mostly all I've been thinking/writing in the last few months involved survival mode and self doubt (which is soooo boring). But now I feel like maybe, just maybe, there is something worth writing.
Next, my parents were here for Easter and we went on at train ride in the Verde Canyon - amazing.
Books to read that rock: Vanishing Acts & My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult.
Movie Review: Brokeback Mountain - sucked, love story was not believable, fast forward button was my friend through the boring parts, BORING....
Lessons I've Learned in the last 3 months (during my absense from blogging):
sometimes there isn't one "right" decision, but multiple "ok" decisions which are all good
how to get pissed off and still love someone - still working on this one
how to cry quietly in a public restroom
how to appreciate relationships/friendships that don't always live up to my expectations
that a king size, pillow-top bed is worth every single penny
that i can stand in front of a group of people and teach classes ranging from 8-bit microcontrollers to how to talk to your kids about sex
that even though i often feel like a fraud (and everyone will see right through me soon), i am unique and perhaps even talented
that i should never say never...
that maybe adults with normal lives are supposed to procreate so that they aren't so freakin' BORED! maybe i've been wrong all this time....
that material posessions are fun to accumulate but the shopping high sure doesn't last long
that any good diet is only good for 30 lbs or 5 months and then you just need french fries and lots of mexican food
that TV is an addiction. i am so scared for next week without Alias, Lost, Veronica Mars, Desparate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, Boston Legal, West Wing, 24, House, Law & Order, ER, How I met your Mother, The Unit, Close to Home, Numbers, One Tree Hill... And reality tv like Amazing Race, Survivor, and American Idol. Imagine what one could accomplish with that amount of time....
that reading Perfect by Anna Quindlen is the only way to start a good day
that the pace of life in Mexico really is better
that no matter how much we have, we always want more
that finding a new favorite author is like finding a new friend
that cuddling with a cat can be as theraputic as talking to a friend
that sharing a bottle of wine and lobster dip at blue adobe while catching up with a friend leaves me feeling totally complete
that my mom turning 60 is a wake-up call to my own life
that finding groups of dedicated women is a blessing and rare
that through every life event, i love my sisters more
Here is a great old photo of my dad's family - he's the cute guy on the left smirking at his sister....

I don't think boredom is necessarily the right reason to have a child. Although I think it does end up being the reason for some. Being a doer I think a child would be your ultimate project.
Blue Adobe's lobster dip is great: and conversation with you is always amazing!
Lexy, you amaze me! You are in my life so that I can say this one reasuring statement to myself, "I'm not the only one." And, I can't believe I'm blogging! Keep challenging me to keep up to speed with technology.
