Sorry Guys. I haven't felt much like talking or writing in past month. No need to worry - I've just been quiet in my personal life and working strong in my PR life. Work has been super busy, but good. Life has been - well - a little lonely, but not so bad.
I am wondering where I want to go with this blog. The pulse of it has changed since my mother's death, and though I would like to get back to its original sense, I'm not sure how I can. I guess that's the other reason why I haven't written. I'm just so sick of words these days. I'm just so blah.
It's not to say that I haven't been doing anything. I've been doing plenty. Shannon was here for her 30th birthday weekend. We hit all of the waterfalls - Ithaca, Taughonock (sp?) and Buttermilk. We hit Stewart Park and the Cornell Plantations at 6 Mile Creek (my favorite walk). We had Mexican at Viva! We made Summer Pasta - one of my mom's greatest recipes, and my sister's favorite meal. We hit The Commons, Wegmans and all of the other Ithaca hotspots. HEHE. It was a good time.
I've made several of my little jewelry boxes - they are ugly, but I enjoy making them. I also really enjoy going to the craft store.
I just finished reading Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst - excellent. I just finished watching Annie Hall, Hide and Seek and Maria Full of Grace. HBO on Demand is a fantastic thing. Oh and aren't we all thrilled about the Sopranos return?
I hired an assistant on an as-needed basis. She rocks. We also went to the movies on Friday night to see Failure to Launch. Not the best flick, but boy that Mathew McCaughaney (sp?). God damn. THAT MAN IS FINE.
Dan got a job offer for the summer. We're thrilled. He's been working so hard. His little brother is stopping by today for a lunch visit, and his friend Chris is coming this weekend. We'll have another full-house. It'll be fun.
I've begun to take vitamins and walk regularly. Hopefully I can get my weight issues back on track. The problem is that my only real comfort these days has been food.
I'm missing my family a lot these days. I want to be around the kids and even my Dad who I don't ever get to see when I come home. It makes me so sad.
I've tackled my mother's jewelry over a two week process. It sucked, but things are all in order. I also picked up her ashes. That was an awful experience.
Dan and I are trying to plan a vacation. As he said, "He needs to get me out of town." We're looking into the Dominican again. Maybe Santo Domingo or Punta Cana. Meridith told me the best place ever to stay in Punta Cana is Paradisus. Now I can't get it out of my head and it's a bit our of our price league.
I'll have a hot list addition in a few hours.
I just want to say thanks to my wonderful friends - who have been so supportive and nurturing. I love you guys a lot. Signing off.
