Wednesday evening

First of all - to my dedicated readers, (all three of you, hehe) - I apologize for not giving you a tasty reading morsel in nearly a week. One day ran into the next and before I knew it - a whole week gone. Plus, I'm trying to be really good and only write blogs at night, so if I have something planned, blogging ends up falling to second or third place on the agenda - right after an over-priced restaurant meal, an hour's worth of adjusting the bunny ears for a clearer picture on TV, or 3-4 chapters of reading... I know it's a fun life, try to contain your jealousy.

A good thing happened today... well, good and bad. I got my car back... correction, my dad's circa 1985 BMW back. It's been in the shop for like 2 months, and now it's gracing the country roads of Northern Michigan again... only $1,100 later. I think my dad paid less to actually purchase it.

What's new with me... hmmm...

My good friend Lauren got a job downstate (closer to her hometown and family) and is leaving me soon. I'm thrilled for her because it's exactly what she wanted, she'll make a nice transition to married life there, and it's a big step up the corporate ladder for her. This of course is a bummer for me because I've one less friend to hang out with. I don't have any worries though, I know we'll stay in touch - she keeps reminding me that she and Andy can have a little vacation get-away up here... but I'll still miss her dearly.

I've really been enjoying the band Sugarcult... especially 'She's a Blade' and 'Memory.'

I'm reading a really great book called "Strong Women, Soft Hearts" by Paula Rinehart. It's a book about passion, healing and growing... I'll include a couple of rich passages from it over the next couple of days.

Well, I'm going to duck out for now... but I'll write again soon. I'm going to go drive myself home!
