one month later...

silver swim cap and I are officially engaged.

No, actually we're not, sorry to excite like that. I froze my gym membership the next day since I knew I'd be gone virtually all of two months, so there was never a chance for us. No, actually there was, but I shot it down. Am I to blame? Yes. Can you blame me? No.

Anyhoo...

ONE MONTH LATER...

I am sitting in the Chicago airport Admirals Club lounge, happily clacking away on the free internet and not minding my 3-4 hour layover at all (I could get used to this kind of Premium travel, not gonna lie!) I'm on my way to INDIA-- FINALLY-- but let's not talk about that now. Let's talk about that in my other blog.

But, in the past month, I have:

-gone to Yosemite for the 8th summer in a row, this time for Peeve's birthday (which coincides with Our Nation's Birthday!). Blog post to come.

-gone on a 9-day Pleasure (pronounced "pleh-zhah") Cruise to the Caribbean with a few great friends. I say 'pleasure' so as to differentiate from my working cruises, and believe me it is DIFFERENT. (Derrr.) That was good times! Blog post to come.

-turned thirty-blekgh. I can't even say it. At least I was in NYC when it happened. Blog post to come.

-attended my sixth mid-singles conference (little bit of bile at having to say that), this one in Washington State, and this time attending totally A-LONE! And THAT makes for some good stories. I fully accept my new moniker of "Jennie the Brave", as bestowed by my good friends back home who were not good enough of friends to accompany me so I wouldn't be alone. But forgiven. Blog post to come!!

--AND--

-finally returned to my former blond self! Going on seven days now, yay. Well, not AS blond, and I like it this way, but I'm just so happy to look like myself again in the mirror. Small wonders. :) (not the sitcom) Blog post to come? No, not necessary.

Ho hum, if only this free computer would let me gather photos from my flash drive...
