With a bright load of bullets…bullet points, that is.  It’s been so long since I’ve posted I can only go random with notes of where I’ve been.

* I have been working behind the scene, doing coding and graphics in preparation for the big launch!  My BFF and I have launched a new webmag The Modern Pagan!!  We have some great writers with MrsB, Angela, and RetroKali. We are currently looking for more writer’s and article submissions so spread the word!  Here’s a bit more from our ‘about’ page:

The Modern Pagan is an online magazine set up to help inform, teach and grow with the pagan and non-pagan communities. We will be posting articles on Wednesdays to begin with in the hopes that we can grow and move to a few more days during the week and finally daily. Please come and check out Weekly Tarot Card to see what’s been pulled from our deck. We will be posting stories, recipes, rituals, crafts and much more.

* I’ve been recovering from surgery.  After 3 weeks I’m feeling human again.  I still get an occasional twinge from the bruising under the surface and the incision sites still have not fully healed – but I feel ‘normal’.  I’ve discovered what I can and can’t eat and what I must eat in moderation. It’s been real fun figuring that out.

* Archie and I had a date. A REAL date. We didn’t go to the movies, we didn’t stay local like we always do (for the past 5 years we haven’t left this side of town).  We went to the south side to the Cheesecake Factory. We walked around the mall and then grabbed some more cheesecake and drove home!

* One week before school let out Brandon brought home a big fat F. It was a project that not only wasn’t finished, but not turned in on time.  And so, the boy begins summer break on lockdown (major grounding).

* I’ve set into (lime)stone my trip to NY this year.  I hadn’t planned on going, but a fellow blogger is also from there and recently took a spontaneous trip which made me very homesick.  Since Archie does horribly in the car I’ve asked my mom to go.  Because of the timing I get to finally meet the incredibly talented and beautiful Mishelle!!  We’re going to the original Duff’s to eat wings and drink Labbatt’s beer!  You bet we’ll both have our cameras so expect pictures!

* I actualy managed to get through ALL of our laundry yesterday. This is a rarity in our house so much that Archie thanked me for it and said that it wasn’t so easy (he knows after caring for the house for a week 😀 ).  I didn’t just WASH the laundry – I got 95% of it away, the last 5% I plan on putting away today. In a household of 5 this is HUGE.

* We’ve shared dinner with our neighbor Moe a couple of times in the past couple of weeks.  He’s a great friend and a big help to Archie when it comes to his girlfriend. I love being that close to our neighbors.

* Speaking of neighbors, now that the weather is nice we’ve spent a few evenings outside gathering with the neighbors. We have a wonderful small neighborhood where everyone knows everyone else.  It’s a neighborhood like I’ve always wanted to live in (did once when I was in 3-9 grade). 

* Our puppy is getting HUGE.  Sookie is gorgeous and I hope to have pictures of her up soon!

* Speaking of Sookie I am counting down the days to True Blood’s second season!  June 14th!!  I read book 9 in one night and have already marked the date of book 10 on my calendar. I’ve watched every preview that’s come out and purchased season 1 on DVD. I even started following the characters on Facebook! They give me such a giggle.

* Yeah, I finally caved.  I said I would never Facebook…but my husband got on, and I don’t remember the reason I caved, but I did.  I’m glad I did…I found my old middle school bestest friend in the world who stuck by me through some big crap.  I found out my cousin was on FB and her husband, and a good high school friend of mine.  I’ve made some great connections.  Because it’s my real name and connected to my hubbies real name I’m choosey about who I let in…but if you want in email me 😀

* Speaking of Facebook…it’s because of that, and this post…that I’ve officially come out of the broom closet with my family.  Oops…but I had to spread the word about the Modern Pagan! 

* I need to have surgery more often.  Being stuck on the couch for a week led to frequent blog posting and reading…real life is way to wacky!!

* And so I close this bulleted list having said a whole lot of nothing!  Hopefully more frequent posting is upon us again…and you’ll get a new better picture of me if the ones I took on date day came out okay 😀
