I have just turned down a new path in my life. Actually I started making the turn 3 months ago, but today I have officially started down the path. I hope it is a brand new asphalt road and not an old dirty road, but knowing my past luck…I’m expecting the worst but hoping for the best.

But so far so good. I think I have a pretty swell situation right now. I have a swell home, with some swell ppl…like the Great and Mighty Chuck and Woozers…who we happened to…ehh…get from the wonderful and beautiful Harem, and Dulcy…who does not spell her name with and i but a y, and Sonia, who is the great kitchen goddess..she supplies my body with the life giving substance called food. And then there is the Oh Great Task Master Family(Darren(who is actually the Great Task Master and Claire…who isn’t really but wife’s always take on the husbands names right?) and the Compadres(aka..Sam and Tammy and Fam). And before I forget (which I did…but I’m fixing my mistake. Reediting—-reedit…) Dan, Gin, and child. They are linked as STAN = Studly Dan (and just so you know I didn’t come up with that…all credit goes to Dulcy. Heh, I remembered the y! She’s great for stuff like that. Then there is the other nearby sister homes who are full and brimming with swell happy people.

I also have a swell ministry known as office work. It’s so great. I’ve been missing it for a while, but no day is like the day before…which is just grand.

So all and all it’s great. And to make it even better, mark on your calendars March 4th. Duke vs. UNC. It really has nothing to do with my post above…but it is very important. North Carolina rivilaries battling for the top spot in N.C. but of course Duke had better win…or else…or ELSE…I shall be sad. It’s a twice a year thing…you should all know that.

College sports talk lately has all been centered around J.J. Redick and Duke. Two very dear subjects to me, which just so happen to be pretty much one and the same. Do you Duke haters realize that Redick is 2 points away from having the highest scoring record in the ACC? Now I see why you all hate him. I would too if he played for anyone else besides Duke, but thank God he chose Duke.
Here’s a cool man’s opinion of Redick, and I’m lovin it. Sniff…I miss DC.

In my absence of the blog world lots of events have happened. I’ll start with the most recent and work my way back.

The East finally won the All Star game. How weird. I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad about it though. I’m an east coast girl, but I’ve always liked the West better. Now I’m in the West and I like the East better. It’s a strange process. You want your roots but then you don’t, it’s one of those funny things of life.

Dirk Nowitski currently holds the title for best shooter in the NBA. Quite sweet I tell you. Quite sweet. And…Dallas is the best in the West. Very swell, very swell.

Now this is very old news and you all probably heard about it…and I so wanted to post but couldn’t. But Cheney shot a fellow hunter while out hunting. How ststststrange. Man…why couldn’t Bush have been there( I know that that comment was mean Lord, but why couldn’t you have just…ahh..nevermind)

California is a rather cool place. Cool meant litterally. It’s cold. Sunny but cold. Speaking of cold..I have a cold…again. I seem to be getting sick alot lately. It’s not cool. But back to Cal being cool, it is. I really like it here. I can’t really see myself being a californianite, in fact I don’t see how I could be at all. I’m all Marylander sadly but happily. There is more fellowship around here though than in lonely DC. In fact I need to remember to bring my camera along with me more. Yes…what an idea.

My blog has officially past the one year mark. It is a mementous occasion. In it’s honor I’ve been wanting to redesign and turn it into it’s very own dot com, but unfortuantly my web design friendly friends have well…either been to busy to teach me or won’t because they hate blogs. My cure, make new web design friendly friends. But one day soon I’ll celebrate it…and it will be a splash, a true splash.

Oh, and Happy 38th Birthday to all my swell pals in the Family. May we live long and carry it to 50. 50 is going to be a swell year I think. Half a century. Prime of life. It’s going to be good.

Well, for starters I’m having computer trouble. My trusty god forsaken laptop is slowing going to it’s grave. I believe it has cancer, computer cancer of the screen, is what I’ve dubbed it. It’s slowing spreading to the internal organs. One doctor gave it 4 weeks at the most to live, but funnily it has survived 6 since then. It’s has been on life support for the last 3 weeks…but it’s still hanging in there. The doctors can’t do anything more for it, so all I can do now is pray that it will last for atleast another 2 months….until I can save up enough for a better, faster, sleeker, and sexier model.

Second….the Steelers won. Though it was a sucky game, a sucky half time show, and had incrediblely sucky commentataries, I liked it. I watched it with a swell bunch of people who even though were for the Seahawks…heh…were still cool. It had one of the coolest plays that I’ve seen in a while and had some pretty cool trick plays. All in all….my father is a happy man.
