Bet you thought you'd seen the last of me, eh? Well, not so fast my friends. Tis I, your favorite blogger. I just had a lovely chat with my older sis, and she reminded about this lovely little site that I have abandoned since last November. That is November of 2009 mind you. So I've decided to dust off the cobwebs and give it another go. As you can see from my impressive book collection, I've got A LOT of reading done. I have revamped my vocabulary in the process, so I'd suggest having a thesaraus nearby so you can keep up. To be honest it's not easy being this smart, but I digress....
Ok, 14 months since my last post. I guess I should throw in a recap. Ummmm, let's see. Moved away from Meg and Nate's (and Stella and Sam's) last December. Not easy. Had tons o' fun while I was there and laid the groundwork of being the Texas cousins favorite older cousin. Saw them all again at two family weddings, and it turns out they love everybody. It killed me to see them so happy with others...ANYWAY, got a couple of new cousins. Jack married Heidi (new cousin!), and Maria married Derek (new cousin! Also a Nub fan, so that's more like half an exclamation point) (Quick note: There will be many parenthesis. These are mostly sidethoughts (thoughts from the side) and they will be used for rants that have nothing to do with whatever I am blogging about...make a note of it) (Also, parenthesis inside parenthesis might happen frequently, check previous parenthesis for explanation)...Back to new cousins, Heidi and Derek as mentioned before and two (as of right now) baby cousins. Seth and Michelle added baby 3. They call him Carter. And Jack and Heidi wasted no time getting into the baby mix and just welcomed Emma. Meg and Nate are also expecting baby 3 this summer, so I'm waiting for my call to resume my role as Manny...not Nanny. And last, but certainly not least, I became an Uncle! Ally and Matt did their part, and now I am the proud owner of a niece. The lovely, the dashing, the beautiful Sloane. I won't go into detail, because everyone that reads this reads Ally's blog and can get way more information out of her. She is a great baby, and already laughs at my jokes, so I love her very much.
What else....oh yeah, took the assistant's job at my old course in Wamego, KS. Had a successful summer. Didn't completely destroy anything. One complaint. THE DAMNED HEAT! I guess God decided the hottest summer ever in Austin should be followed by one of the hottest summer's in Wamego. Starting to feel like I'm what's causing global warming.
And, just to put everyone's mind at ease, I was reunited with my best friend. Bob is doing fine. He's sleeping 20 hours a day, about 10 pounds overweight and loving every minute of it.
Well, guess that's good for now. Don't want to run out of material on the first one back. Who knows when you'll see another one. Could be a week, a month, or it could be tomorrow. I've got way too much time on my hands for the next couple of weeks.
