'puters, entertain me

Hi SuperWebInfoNetTubes

I don’t really much use the internets anymore. I now use a super secret new communication device that only select government agents have heard about so far. For this, I deeply apologize. But I did want to say hi, as in hello internets, we should totally do lunch, send me a text, I want to hear about your new girlfriend.

Some of the readers (should I say former readers?) of this here website thingamabob have emailed me to see if I have died. I haven’t, which is really good news for everyone except maybe my ex-husband and the girl that I played doctor with when we were tiny and then mentioned said explorations when I saw her again in a college English class. Anyhoos, not dead. Busy, happy, fatigued, working, mothering, moving into new domicile, but not dead. Not yet.

I don’t know how I feel about the internets anymore. In some ways, posting salient details of my personal life narrative for unseen dozens has lost its je ne said quoi. In others, I am busy as fuck. That’s a technical term. Busy as fuck. What can I say internet? When it comes right down to it, we decide how to spend the five minutes between all of life’s tasks and toils and some of us choose animal husbandry, blogging, macrame, or brick counting, but all I can offer is that I used to be compelled to come and write here and these days I am less and less.

It probably has something to do with my overall indices of mental health, my lack of concrete items to whinge about, and a life that’s more full than even I can truly handle these days. But know that I’m happy, I love you, and the internet is still so wicked cool. Where else would you be able to watch videos of girls eating poop and get to hear directly from Michelle Obama? Come on, you know I’m right. The internet still rocks, even if I’d rather be learning to brew beers or sew skirts or kissing my boyfriend.

That, this year:

  • I learned the true power of my strength
  • My daughter has grown strong and smart into toddler-hood
  • I fell deeply in love with someone who is a healthy choice for me
  • I have the chance to rebuild life just as I’d like it

Last weekend in Portland was beautiful. I want to go back tomorrow. It was probably the best birthday I’ve ever had and definitely the best present.

Even the Shitty Diners Have Hacker Pschorr

David and I were all set for Fun Fun Fun festing and we go down there at 1 and the prospect of festing for 9 hours with no re-entry (love the lineup hate that policy, humans), caused us to make a quick decision to sell our tickets, hop in the car, and instead spend the weekend in Fredericksburg. Which proves that I am incredibly old that I’d rather stroll and drink oktoberfest beers than see awesome bands at an all ages show with no way of escaping and coming back.

We stayed at a B&B within walking distance of all the biergatens and drank our way across Main street. It was fab. We talked about the coleocanth and if you call someone insecure does that really mean you are insecure and other life mysteries. We also drove around the hill country looking at crap and taking pictures of giant rocks (Enchanted Rock) and closed breweries (Real Ale). There was also a lot of eating and I don’t care if I ever eat again, really.

Zoe spent the weekend with the grandparents and went to Shriner circus where I shit you not they have a clown named Spaz. Classy.

Then today I woke up and my kid still has a hacking cough which means I really need to get into the pedi and my iPhone screen is fucked. All in balance. All in balance. Happy Monday.
