Enough Already with the Deafening Silence
I’m still here.
I’m alive.
I’m fine. Really. No, really. I’m fine. I am.
I know, I know. I guess I just needed a break. So now I've had my break. It's all out of my system now. And I promise not to disappear like that again. I wasn’t gone for that long. It just seems like I was. And I missed you. Really, I did. I wish I had more to report. It was just a kind of mindless absence. What do I have to report? Let’s see...
Summer was completely rained out. I didn’t get sunburned even once. Not once. In my book, that makes for a tragic summer. And already it’s cold outside. It’s not even Halloween yet and my lips are chapped. Ugh. But what’s new?
In June, I did two out of three legs (the biking and running portions) of the Danskin triathlon. That’s something. It was great. I also worked a lot over the summer. It's all good though. I’m happy with the work world. I spent a lot of time in Houston with my sister, went to a wedding and a couple of baby showers, usual summer fare.
In August, Elias turned 4. He’s a big, beautiful, amazing boy. He’s talking up a storm. He has about one more month of speech therapy for the sake of formality and is by all accounts a fabulously talkative, intelligent, if not precocious, little boy. He is clearly advanced.
He has added Spiderman to his list of alter egos although Superman is not yet altogether absent from our home. Hardly.
Lena.
Lena, Lena, Lena.
She's fun and spirited and smart. She's turning out to be quite the tomboy. And sassy.
The girl has no problem letting you know what she wants. But that's not new. Here she is in full armor, as if she needs it. Charming, is she not? But then, I'm partial.
In September, I turned 36. Yep. Yawn.
In October, my sister had a baby.
His name is Vincent and he is my new boyfriend.
I lerve him. Here I am with my new boyfriend.
And here he is with the other woman.
Little Playuh.
Oh, and my little street - the last thing I mentioned to you. My wonderful little road in the neighborhood.
It’s all but tore down and they’re putting in a fancy schmancy new one. I will report back to you on that with new pictures soon.
What? I promise. No, really, I will. I will. And soon.
Stay with me...

I think my daughter and yours would be fast friends. Oh, and your new boyfriend sure is cute!

Serious withdrawal from the other side of the world. Those who bait their readers with semi-weekly posts have no right to leave said readers hanging for more than three months. (Note the condition that allows me free reign to go an indefinite amount of time without posting. ;)
Was great to see you - and the babies! sooo adorable! - again last week. Sorry it was so brief. Hope we can fit in that happy hour sometime soon. =)
