I enjoy writing. I don't actually make a living with my English degree, so I keep a blog for fun. The blog is first draft, and as a former editor I apologize for any weird errors that may be present. I do not apologize for writing about things that matter to me. Thanks for reading.

Lost in LOST

I've been meaning to write for some time; however, husband and I have been painting. And painting some more. And getting into...LOST.

Since we didn't have network reception in Utah, we never watched. When we got here, we got the DVDs at the video rental place and we've been sucked in ever since. Honestly, I didn't think I'd be so sucked in. But we've been in a LOST stupor, watching four episodes a night starting with season one. We're finally caught up now, and are looking forward to the rest of season three to begin on February 7.

So between painting and LOST, I've not had time--nor the right frame of mind--to sit and write.

We had the pleasure of enjoying time with my husband's family this weekend, which helped me feel almost normal again. There was a birthday party on Saturday morning, and a christening this morning with a family brunch. We've been relatively secluded since we've been here, first getting over the total freakout of the move, then working on the construction project. So it was good to just do family things and get reacquainted with cousin Dorothy's children and grandchildren.

On the way home today, husband mentioned that we usually always do these kinds of things with my family. This weekend, it was all about his family, and we both agreed it was a nice change.

My friend Carolyn will finally come down from KC for Mardi Gras...I had hoped she could come at some point, and this is going to be really incredible. We had alot of good reconnecting time in KC, so the NOLA visit will be all about the party--and from what I understand, at our location here, it will be nuts. So husband and I will be working feverishly to get the basic work done in the condo so it can be the party area.

Now that we have LOST out of the way, I should be able to get refocused on writing more regularly.
