Knock Knock! Who's There? Me!

For several weeks now, I have been trying to decide how to resume this blog.  I mean I made such a big deal in one of my first posts about doing something beautiful and creative every day.  And working on my blog was supposed to be one of those creative endeavours.  What happened to that?  Well, work got in the way and, honestly, it didn't go so well, for a variety of reasons, and I decided I simply would not blog about it because I didn't want this "place" to become a forum for my venting and unpleasantness.  No one wants to listen to someone complain about their job.  Right?  So I put it aside....only temporarily, I told myself.   And the next thing I knew, it was June!  WTF!

Okay, I should interject here, for just a moment, and say that I am trying (sort of) to quit cursing.   Now I don't go around spouting obscenities "like a trucker," (as my dad used to like to say).   Most of my bad language violations occur only within my own head.  As if there is some bad-ass version of myself living within me.  However, I have been known to let one loose when a driver pisses me off, or my children annoy me, break something, don't follow my rules (I know----horrible!)  Or when I talk to my sisters.  Enough said.  Or, apparently, when I write.  At any rate, I am trying, I'm thinking about trying.

So here I am.  Trying to figure out how to resume.   Dave says, "just do it.  Just start writing about your day."  He, of all people, though should know how obsessive I can be.  I can't JUST pick it up again.  What would THEY think?  How would I explain my absence?  No, I need a plan.

But what kind of plan?  Does it need to be spectacular?  Silly?    Or,  like calling an out of touch friend, should I just pick up the phone and say hello?  Afterall, I have relationships that work just like that.  With friends I rarely see, yet think of almost daily.  And I know I can simply call, or text, or email these people and it's like I just saw them yesterday.

Yes, I think that's definitely the best plan.  

So hello.  How are ya?

I'm fine.

Where have I been?  What have I been doing?

Well, in a nut shell, I was working (ugh!) getting my oldest daughter through chemistry, graduation and prom (more on these in a later post), traveling to Maui with the family (heaven!) and puttering around with jr.

Oh, I've been riding my bike, (yes--still tending my sore (but somewhat better) foot and trying to keep the love of my life from throwing our cats out with the garbage....

So, this is it.  I left without a word and in much the same way I'm back.  I may write about some of the afore mentioned, but probably not too much about the job....

So, stay tuned.
