We interrupt this small blogging hiatus to bring you a brief announcement:

I’m Sorry.. I Totally Suck!

It’s just that well…

• I was abducted by aliens and taken on a trip to a galaxy far far away..
• I had to fly to Vegas to finish auditioning for the circus
• I was leading a safari in Namibia
• I was fulfilling my duties of acting as J-Lo’s body double (Buahawahahahahaha)
• I got lost playing Hippy Disc Golf
• I found Jimmy Hoffa while playing disc golf and had to listen to him explain the meaning of life
• I repainted my entire house and am currently hand carving my new dinning room table (how Jesus-like of me)
• I lost my keys and didn’t know how to get back into my blog

Ok.. so none of that happened. But things have been stressful.

Layoffs at work.. more to come. Sooo….. you know… I’m just .. um.. reviewing my options escape plans savings account balance resume. No biggie (I’m totally FREAKING OUT!!! OMGWTFOMG Who wants to be laid off in this market!?!?!?!?).  I am/was completely shocked/bummed that my first boss got laid off last Wednesday.  I can’t say more at this point.. but maybe soon.

Then my office partner-in-crime has accepted a new job in a new state, which not only makes me unbelievably sad (but happy for her!!) but also a little stressed about how I’m going to make it thru the work days now??? Who’s going to help me with get over the bouts of snarkiness and frustration? This is a seriously concerning situation. Current mode of survival: Denial.

I’m not really digging my job right now.   Le sigh…

Lately.. I’ve been having insanely crazy dreams. I think I will blog about that later

The Engineer and I have thrown ourselves into the new world of Disc Golf.  Seriously… we’re hooked.   I’m spending alot of time on the disc golf course.  To bad there’s not money to be made there.

Fall is quickly closing in on us here in East Tennessee. The leaves are beginning to change and weather is getting more tolerable. Soon, the mornings will be very brisk.. requiring me to get up 10-15 minutes earlier than usual in order to not have to drive down the road with my head hanging out my driver’s side window, a la Ace Ventura style, because I can’t see out of my frosted over windshield because I didn’t have time to defrost it defrost my front windshield. Anything that gets me out of bed early deserves a “Meh”.

I’m still on the fence about hosting my own blog. I really want to and I’ve even decided on the hosting provider and I’ve purchased my own domain.. but man… the work involved is mucho grandios and quite frankly.. I have issue blogging 3 times a week, let alone having to deal with all the hosting issues.

My “To Do” list continues to grow. With weddings and holidays and winter, in general, approaching… there is so much still to do before the end of the year. I’m trying not to stress about it… I’m not being successful in that venture.

For some reason this year, I’m digging on the candy corn.

Since Lux and Tink are getting married on 11/1 in the ATL, we (the engineer and I) will not be home on 10/31. I’m happy because that means that this year I won’t have to buy candy. Last year I bough 10 lbs of premium candy (you know. .the good stuff: M&Ms, Snickers, Milky Way, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, etc) and STILL had to buy another 5 lbs on Halloween because someone (I’m looking at you DH) ate all the candy before the kids even started Trick-or-Treating. On the bad side.. I’ve been trying to make our house the ‘go-to’ house for in the neighborhood for Trick-or-Treating and now.. I have to take a year off. Bummer.

My hankering for a puppy (a Boston Terrier puppy to be exact) has returned even stronger than before. Every time I mention it, the Engineer gets more and more irrate with me. The other day, I told him “it’s a puppy or a baby” knowing full well that I was off to buy a puppy.   He looked me deadpan in the face and said “bring on the bambino” OMGWTF… As if dude. We’re totally not ready for a kid. Although.. it would get me out of kitty liter duty for a solid 11 months.. OMGWFT..

I still want a puppy.

I’m super excited that pomegranate season is right around corner.

Yeah.. so that pretty much sums up my week last week.   Blogging wasn’t on the list because.. well.. I just didn’t have the energy.

I promise to be better this week.    Maybe
