An anniversary and other "issues"

This weekend marks the first anniversary of our move to the land that is high in the middle and round on both ends.

It's hard to believe a year has gone by already; I still find myself telling people I live in PA. The move was the best thing for my little family unit, as Husband, who works in Pittsburgh, would have to "camp out" there during the week, making life for me and the kids kind of a pain. BUT! We now have a lot of land, no close neighbors, and a brand new house and Husband is home every night.

I also can't believe that a year ago I went to one of the local dives close to my old home and had drinks with Elvis. It seems like yesterday. It was a great send off, a mini class reunion...Uncle Bum, Hyper, and JukeBoxHero were there, and for some reason, JukeBoxHero and I had a lenghty conversation about vasectomies. Don't ask, alcohol is a great little ice breaker. And I also had a conversation, the first one ever, with O-E, a guy who graduated a couple years ahead of me and never gave me the time of day back in high school. Ahhh, alcohol.

As for my "issues," let me say here and now that I am giving up that sweet devil Coca-Cola. I drink way too much, and am now starting to resemble my 15 year old self, which was a time of life I didn't like the first time I went through it. Adult acne, that's a joke, more like "Adult Pizza Face." Really.

Well, that's it. I'm off to the book store with Son so he can spend some of his allowance on dinosaur books...
