There was a huge windstorm one day, then the next day we did not have a phone. And I missed everyone, so I tried to call, and my phone/ address book has grown legs and walked away. Anyhow...
Apparently some wiring shorted out. It is now fixed. This led to my two week absence.
A lot has happened. I shall try spit it all out here. (No comments about my usage of the word 'spit', perverts.)

I'm not sure this is going to work, but here is the link to see a picture of my new nephew. He was born last Monday and is a wee thing. I can't wait to go to Pennsylvania at the end of this month so that I can hold him and love him and squeeze and ohhhhhhhhh yes.... take his picture.

Next thing.
John and I are going to get back together. Really, there's not a whole lot that needs to be said about the details of why, etc etc. But, he'll be moving in with Susan and I at the end of July. Apparently he has a huge suprise for me the end of this month and it's about to eat me alive. I hate and love suprises.
Anyways. he's moving in. He's going to have a room of his own so that we can all have our own personal space. That's totally healthy.
I really am excited about it. Although a little cautious too. We've been separted for nearly six months, and actually i think it was a year ago almost exactly when we first had the discussion about separating.

And Bless Sagwa... Bless her Bless her Bless her.
She went to Paris. She went to the Louvre. I asked her if she wouldn't mind looking up a title of a painting for me. The one that has been elluding me since December.
L'Aurore et Cephale
by Pierre Narcise Guerin
Words can not say just how stoked I am about that. Now, I must find a very large poster of it. It belongs in my room.

I got another chapter done on my book. Only one more chapter, and then everything is in the editing process. I'm so excited. And I need to write too because the ideas are there, and I'm afraid i'll lose them.

It's really hot here. Humid. Relentless.

And I missed everyone.
I'm particularly worried about Dove and Liz.
And I became a vegetarian. I'm trying to go all out and be Vegan, but I am having problems finding out exactly what I can eat since Vegan (no meat, no dairy, or byproducts of the two) pretty much rules out everything. I've been doing pretty well though. Trying to have everthing natural and unprocessed. It's not easy.
I never would have thought I'd like Rice Milk. Just the name of it alone used to send me in shudders. I never really liked regular milk to begin with. But I really like Vanilla Rice Milk. It rocks.
Another thing that rocks is Veggie Burgers. yum yum yum yum yum.
but, it really isn't easy... Especially at work when I smell those chicken nuggets and I swear that they are all line dancing and singing to me.
Well, enough rambling. Sorry this entry is sorta rough. It'll get better as I catch up.
lots of love

Linda!!!!
I miss you!
I could have told you that vanilla rice dream is awesome. Yummy stuff. I could never be as vegan as I'm way too attached to cheese and baked goods (can't have cookies and pie). Don't forget to try a Big Mac no meat, and the vegetarian would like tomatoes.
Love ya!

She's alive!!! I'm glad things are going well! Good luck on the vegetarian thing, it is hard to figure out what you can and cannot eat. Good luck with John too. I know things will be okay. ((((HUGGGG))))
