We return to your regularly scheduled programming

Seriously, I started writing the previous post and my computer did this nifty little trick where it would kept shutting the window. I was not pleased. Where was I?

The light at the end of the tunnel? Yep. Okay. And I don't think it was a train. That was like getting a punchline of a joke two days later...

I'm taking guitar lessons! Yes, I am on my way to becoming a certified rock star. I have a totally cool guitar teacher named Gal (pronouced Gaul). Nevermind that his house smells funny. He's an excellent teacher and has me doing all kinds of cool things like the Pentatonic Scale. Very fun. I wish I had more time to practice. I actually have time to practice but if I make it look like I'm too busy to practice I feel better about not actually practicing when I should. Oh the tangled webs I weave.

I have started making new friends! I feel so 4th grade. I joined a few clubs on meetup.com for hiking and socializing and such and have meet many cool people. On Saturday night, I'm going to a roller derby with one group. Seriously, watching people dressed up as pirates versus people dressed up like nurses. All on roller skates. Could you think of anything more fun? No, you can't. Don't try.

Speaking of meeting new people, I have a delightful man I'm not dating. Yes, you read that right. At this point we are friends. We met on match.com and through one of the meetups. Don't know if it will develop to another stage or not. We're just kind of hanging. There may be a pupa stage. There may not be. Either way, I'm perfectly happy. He fun, very sweet and cute as hell.

I knit a peret. I can't really expound on that. It's cute and I feel so very French in it. Yes, it is raspberry colored. I had to...

I'm getting a ginnormous tax return. Big enough to pay off all of my credit card debt, cover the cost of a trip to Mexico with my sister and brother-in-law, and a trip to Austin with the grls to hand out at my friend Ashley's new house, AND redo my backyard. Freedom from debt is a glorious thing but I am so excited about the backyard. My irrigation system is finally fixed! Wow!

That's pretty much it for right now. I will solemnly swear to never neglect you again. Feel free to chastise me for being negligent. I deserve it. And yes, I missed you too.

I thought it important to let you know that actually physically made me laugh. Out loud. And I never never never (well, okay, very rarely) do that. You deserve a 'I-made-Kaitlin-laugh-out-loud' medal. That's how significant it is.

Plus, you just hit the metaphorical nail on the metaphorical head. It's so very, very true. ^_^

Well haven't you been the busy little bee? Great to hear things are finally kicking ass for ya this year.

And cool on guitar lessons. You should pick up an xbox360 and Guitar Hero and really put those fingers to good use. Oh wait, this is a girlie blog, not a techie one. Oops. Nm. Good to have you back btw.
