Did you miss me? I missed you.
You’re wanting to know what “stuff” I had going on last week, aren’t you? Why I didn’t post for a week.
Fine. Twist my arm. I’ll tell you.
It had a little something to do with my rocket scientist husband. He’s decided to build an even more impressive resume by adding not one, but two Masters degrees to it. So he was up in Phoenix for the week taking an orientation for the dual degree online Masters program he’s starting this very week.
Hot shot.
I, on the other hand, was here at home, working my own patootie off. On what, you ask? Oh, just a little project I’ve got going. Namely: a novel. My novel. Or manuscript, in its current form.
I had to choose between working on it or blogging and I chose my manuscript. Hopefully I will have an announcement about that soon. I’m just going to make you suffer through the curiosity in the meantime.
I will tell you that Thursday was a good day for me on all counts though. Three fabulous things happened that day:
1. My hunky husband came home.
2. I finished my manuscript revisions.
3. When my hunky husband came home he brought with him a new wedding ring. To replace the one I lost in December. And the bomb-blingity makes me happy. :)
Pretty tough to beat a day like that, no?
Full disclosure here though: the week hasn’t been all good.
Because on Saturday the Cardinals blew their chances at taking another spin in the Super Bowl. {insert sorry consolation prize sound effect here}. That, in spite of the rambunctious cheering squad they had based right here in my living room.
I thought that was bad enough. But then. Then?
I broke out in a serious rash. A rash to rival all rashes. All red and bumpy. And itchy. OH the itchy.
And like Goldilocks sleeping in baby bear’s bed–it’s still here.
I’m at a loss when it comes to figuring out the origin of this rash of mine. It encompasses most of my trunk {boobs excluded} and both legs — front and back. I have no idea. We’ve not changed soaps or lotions or anything like that. I don’t think I have a virus.
The only change I’ve had in my diet is the addition of Acai berry juice. I’m thinking maybe that’s the culprit? If so, it’d be the only allergy I have to food of any sort. As far as I know at least.
Are any of you allergic to the antioxidant powerhouse that is the Acai berry? I’m curious.
Yeah, so not all good. But the good definitely outweighed the bad.
And that’s saying nothing of what is soon to come.
This week, for instance, I’m taking my two oldest girls to go see Legally Blonde the musical. It’ll be here in Tucson this week and if you’re local and interested in going you should click on the Broadway in Tucson link over there in my sidebar.
What else? Hmmm….it seems like there was something else.
Oh yeah.
Just under three weeks from now I’ll be headed to Nashville to hang with a select few of my favorite bloggers {not to mention Harry Connick Jr, hello} at Blissdom.
Look out music city.
As for the rest of 2010? It’s looking mighty bright friends.
Mighty bright indeed.
So tell me. What are you looking forward to on the horizon?
