it's been a loooong time between posts here,...

Well, a lot's happened since Eric last posted. For more details, head over to http://chiere.livejournal.com cuz I'm too lazy to write it all out,...

But the synopsis is:

  • We are down to one creaky 4 banger Mustang to drive, plus the shop car;
  • I have been working from home for almost two years now and LOVE IT;
  • we still don't have the Prius, (the economy SUX TEH BIG and we can't afford new cars yet;)
  • but we did go to GenCon, Nerd Heaven!)
  • Gulf Wars was fun, but even though I was deputy EMIC, didn't get the EMIC job for this year, (but that's o.k., we are broke beyond belief;)
  • we lost one of our big spotty girls to colic this Fall, (broke my heart,;)
  • and another horse got poked in the eye and bitten by a snake, (the reason we are beyond broke,...)
  • My dad got remarried to a wonderful lady; (my mom has been passed on for almost 5 years now;) he still rides his Harley, but updates his blog less than I update mine;
  • we had the cutest brown doe born this year;
  • Eric is finally really enjoying his work on the Constellation project and feels challenged, although he's working his butt off;
  • he's lost more weight and is Teh Cute;
  • I found the weight, and am NOT Teh Cute;
  • my daughter broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years, so she is sad and I am sad for her. But just like any mom, I believe he isn't good enough for her, =-)
  • My friend Carol moved from Tampa to Gainesville to live with her mom;
  • We still haven't cleared the front 3 acres;
  • We still haven't finished repainting the house;
  • The plumbing is a horror;
  • we still haven't converted teh attic to a library;
  • And I still can't spell worth crap, but I'm too lazy to run the spell checker, so deal,....
And I know there is more, but I can't remember,...
