Hi all!

[the_new_perfect]

I'm back in town from about a week away in Ohio visiting with my people. I've missed hearing how you all are, but it will kill me to go back and read a week and a half of back posts, so I'm starting fresh from today. If anything big has happened, will you let me know?

Peace.

The year changed, but you'll probably hear that from mainstream media.

What? What am I supposed to do with that expensive 2008 calendar I spent all that money on?

[chillyrodent]

If you're patient, it will be back in style in a few years.

That's what they said about my tail.

I was born in southern Ohio, along the banks of the Ohio. So, that is where I sing my song ...

Shorter Me: where are your peeps?

My mom and dad moved out to Concord 22 years ago, right after I graduated from college. My four younger sibs went to school/college out there; two to BG, two to Kent. They've all been Ohian to some degree, except for myself.

Cool. I spent my first several years in Portsmouth.

Buttercup was home for a few weeks and turned 18. I was and am a little traumatized. He's now off on his Morocco trip.
I think that's all of the big news in my world.

[the_new_perfect]

Are you traumatized by him turning 18 or something else? Are you okay?

[beyondbliss]

I'm fine. Just traumatized by him turning 18, and the idea that I'm a parent of an adult.

Gah!

i was in your neck of the woods when you were in ohio.
emailed the wrong mmartone, apparently at aol.com and got some very grouchy comments from that one. stay away from her/him, i tell you.
missed visiting with you, but nice to see you back.
ps, i am older now.
sigh, and i hope wiser. but, that's left to be seen...

Happy birthday! I wonder why I didn't feel you crawling around my neck? :)
