No one needs to freak out like Samantha did when I told her I had a nose bleed. She start sobbing because she didn’t want me to die and wouldn’t believe I would be okay. Now, my sheets on the other hand haven’t done so well. I suppose it’s not big loss because they kept shrinking every time I put them in the wash anyway, so a new set would be nice after all.

I also made it home alive, if not a little delayed. I’m not sure who it was who decided that a major airport should be built in Chicago but I think this person was a moron. The weather is never, ever good for flights. I worried about the weather in Wausau being bad for my flight with what should be worse weather but all my delays were due to Chicago’s weather. At least I experienced a nice rainbow while waiting for my last plane – I sent the picture to Twitpic but, apparently, it didn’t work. Boo.

I definitely feel like a bad mommy. I could tell my kitties were very upset that I had been gone so long so I do not plan to do that to them again, despite the fact that Samantha wants me to come home in May, for my birthday. I’m not sure if ‘home’ is the right word. For the past couple years, I’ve felt like home was wherever Ryan is so I definitely feel displaced for the time being. Anyway, the kitties are better. I cannot believe how big Goliath has grown; Phantom almost seems small! As bad as I feel, they have developed some bad habits while I was gone so I shall need to retrain them.

Speaking of Samantha, she was exhausting as always. Didn’t like me to leave or have friends come over. We played a ton of Maplestory and she spent pretty much her entire Spring break with me. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. And loud. Always loud.

So it’s pretty quiet around here. I think we’re car shopping and I found a Maxima for a really good price on Craigslist. The seller has since dropped the price and it would be a steal but I think we’re going to get a Carfax report first, just to be safe because it almost sounds “too good to be true.”

Now that I’m home, I can get back to watching Netflix on the Xbox (it was here when I returned! Yay!) as well as writing reviews and finally finishing up the rest of the content on Her Realm. I know you’ve been waiting super patiently. I, on the other hand, have not so I think I shall begin on that right away.

I am slowly-but-surely changing the format of all the pictures pages on the site (again). So far I’m focusing on pictures other than of myself and I’ve updated or create pages for Amanda, Samantha, Pets, Past Pets and Family.

I also just finished the pages for Tokyo 2007, Halloween 2005 and Ryusendo Caves.

Today I will make the grand march down all 4 flights of stairs and enter into the world of the living – ie the world that is not my studio. It has been a long time since I’ve laid my eyes upon the blue of the lake or the sky or felt the crisp, cool air caressing my skin or filling my lungs.

Actually, I awoke yesterday and came to the horrifying realization that my husband is no longer here and, consequently, decided to die. I then realized that I am quite horrible at dying and despite the fact that I’ve felt completely tired and restful for most of the past 3 weeks, I’d had a wonderful, undisturbed sleep and even though I might want to just stay in bed and rot, I was wide awake.

Thus, I spent the day cooped up inside my apartment being a lazy bum and sitting on my lazy bum. While I did manage to accomplish a few things (EG catching up on my reading, playing MapleStory – only to find 5 minutes before the game was shutting down for upgrades that I had rushed to a certain place to finish my quest in vain because I was on the wrong character, watching TV and fiddling with WP to no end) most of those things involved me sitting on my aforementioned lazy bum. If you’ll browse the list of things I did not do, you’ll notice these things involve leaving my confines: take our recycling, return library books, check mail which may hold my new cellular telephone.

So today I will do those things and so much more – maybe. If nothing else, I will send this entry to blog with love.

The “here” is Dessert Public Library, a two roomed facade not-so-aptly named with only around 5 rows of books but, yes, it does have computers connected to the internet so I can’t complain that much – now can I? I can’t explain the name but what else can you expect of Mosinee? It’s the hole in the wall kind of town, just shy of 5,000 residents with picturesque blocks still reminiscent of the olden-days and nothing better to do than walk to Piggly Wiggly, the one and only grocery store.

It’s a nice place, though. Small and hickick, but nice nonetheless. And I’ll be able to go to Sami’s grad party tomorrow night with Fernie (yay!) and my aunt Liz isn’t charging me to stay so I can lounge around being a jobless bum – for now at least.

Sunday we’ll pick up my aunt Grace, Maria (a family friend) and head down to Rapids, home of the grandparents, deposit some boxes in their basement and then have the Grandparents hop into their vehicle and lead us to my aunt Becky’s house in Milwaukee. Enough
aunts for you, yet? Don’t worry, I have 3 more. Becky is the most important in this equation because a)she looks like Dr Weir from Stargate: Atlantis and b) she doesn’t really like to be called Becky. (It’s Rebeccaaaaaaaaaaa!)

Nothing of much significance except that I miss having my computer, am acomplishing a lot of reading (Terry Goodkind’s Chainfire and Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys), have rented quite a few movies (Lady and the Tramp, Tristan and Isolde, Fun With Dick and Jane, Nanny Mcphee, Wedding Crashers and, finally, Big Momma’s House 2) and am drinking waaaay too much Mt. Dew.

I have, happy, rediscovered makeup and have done a find job of making myself up these last few days. Along with my wonderfully sexy new purple sunglasses and my newly discovered “sex kitten hair” I must say I am quite the vixen and could easily put Mariylon Monroe to shame. My apologies Miss M, but it’s just the truth. ;)

I have actually taken quite a few pictures of myself and many have come out quite nice; of course, they’re all stored in the digital camera with no way for me to connect it to a computer so they will stay in that format until I am settled in Milwaukee and, hopefully, that will be sooner rather than later.

Samantha is, quite possibly, the cutest little girl I’ve ever known and, no, I am not biased just because she’s my little sister – I’ll have you know that I thought she was a horrendously ugly little baby, but no longer. Not only does she have a great face and cascading long brunette curls but she says adorable things such as “You can count on me, Cole!” Granted, it’s a little annoying after the 87th time but I know she means well I am going to miss her terribly. )=

With that, my lovelies, I leave you.

Were someone to ask me right now “How are you?” I would have no choice but to answer “Fan-fucking-tastic!” I haven’t felt this great in years.

As a side note, I’ve updated the guess the movie and the guess the lyric pages and uploaded a new song for your downloading pleasure.
