It's Been A Long Time...

Oh my goodness!! November 12th! That is ridiculous!!

I really have no valid explanation for my absence. I've been here, being utterly unproductive, as usual.

I blame fan fiction, and ADF. And Twitter... a little.

So many things have happened since November.... so many things I can remember any of them.

Oh!Oh! I know! I am officially an auntie now. I have all sorts of illegitimate nieces and nephews. You know, kids you see almost as often as your own, but don't live in your house, and call you aunt. Anywho, my sister had a baby! So I have a nephew! Who I see less often than the others.

That is because they live in The Place That Shall Not Be Named. Five freakin' hours away!! Which reminds me of other news! The 'rents finally bought a place of their own. We're going to see it this weekend. It is after all, the looooong 24 weekend.

I was talking to my step-mother in-law the other day about how much everything changes. Ten years ago the hubs and I would throw a tent, a few blankets, a couple pillows, some munchies and a cooler full of beer(or whatever) in the back of the truck and take off to camp at the beach with friends. Now we have a pop-up, bedding, clothes, shoes, coats, toiletries, toys, and a billion other things to pack up for five people just to go away for a weekend. Wtf happened? We are going to my parents, so I'm not worried they'll be a lack of partying, it's just different... and A LOT more work. I have to prepare.

What?

I know!

I don't even prepare my grocery list until I'm heading out the door.

Needless to say, my lack of preparation skills drives the hubs up the wall. 'Yes! While you're at work all week I will be doing laundry, packing, and getting ready to go!' or I'll do some laundry, read a bunch of ff and pack on Thursday, and Friday. I fail at ... well the list is rather long, but today well say... packing?

*RAGE*

Sorry, I just got a call from the hubs himself. Looks like some last minute over-time is a MUST this weekend. Yes, I'm using this again: WTF?!?

This new turn of events has lead to an early end of this post.

I need a drink.

Stupid work.
