i'm still standing

hi kids.
to those of you reading this blog, whomever you may be:
i know i haven't been around much lately, i know i've seemed really busy.
the truth is: none of it is that interesting, and certainly not more important than you.
huge changes are afoot at the job.
having a dog. huge responsibility, esp. when she refuses to behave when you leave her alone.
i haven't sleep decently since returning from the cabin (where i slept like the dead).
basically, without excuses, i am overwhelmed and frequently exhausted. (and, that leads to upsetness too).
so.... remember, i love you!!! and i'm working on getting it all straightened out.
i want a wonderful summer.
a few good things:
watching molly run around like her tail was on fire at the cabin. not because her tail was literally on fire, but because she was enjoying the pure freedom of no leash roaming. watching her jump off the dock and swimming to chase ducks away.
seeing william going fishing with my dad and brother.
reading lots of books (just finished the world according to garp, almost done with plainsong, both very very good, very very different).
recommending good books to people.
getting a blog written about me!
winning a tablecloth from another blog. (www.hostessblog.com)
my parents taking molly every day while we work
yummy veggies and fruits from kowalskis
smelling lake smell
hot stone massage
a year from getting married!

that's it for now. thanks kids. love ya.
