I realize I've been neglecting my blogging duties. I hate it, too. I actually enjoy sharing my thoughts and views with all two of my readers.
Life, however, has intervened. It's brought some surprises, some pleasant, some not so pleasant, and one that totally caught me offguard.
The not so pleasant first: That feeling I've had in my gut for months turns out to be physical. Pending the results of an ultrasound, there may soon be less of me as some surgeon gets the opportunity to wield his laser-surgery thingy and extract my gallbladder. With all the misery the damned thing has been causing me (if it is indeed that), I'd let him take it now. I sure as heck don't want it anymore.
The Girl is growing up way too fast for me. Now in high school, she's exploring her career options and, to my consternation, is exploring a profession very close to mine. I've guided her away from this field all her life, only to find her attracted to it. Sigh.
I helped chaperone her and 60-something teens to a band competition yesterday. It was hotter than seven hells in July. I wound up getting sick during their performance and sought solace in a shady area until sundown.
Personally, I have never thought a band festival was a place to take a date. Apparently, The Ex is not of a like mind, for he squired his latest to the one and same. It was my first look at her. And -- I'm cuter and look younger! Ha! I was even cuter with my sweaty hair, pulled back oh-so-unelegantly in a ponytail with strands falling unevenly around my face. And that's the end of this oh-so-mature and meow moment.
My good friends (and you know who you are) can read all about the offguard thing if you e-mail me. :)
I'll try to do better here. Promise!

Seems like everyone loses their gallbladder sooner or later. When will you get the ultrasound results?
Of *course the new chickie isn't as cute as you!
You may be in for some relief, heat-wise. After days of really enervating heat and humidity here (bad enough to cause the Chicago marathon to be cancelled halfway through yesterday), we've finally gotten a cold front. It blew in a couple of hours ago, and the temperature is dropping rapidly. 61 degrees as I write. It'd be nice if it headed your way.
Oh, and YGM!
