Wow! It's been two months since I last posted. That's hard to believe. Real life has been very busy and that, coupled with one of my periodic bouts of posting ennui, translates to my long absence.

For those who might be interested in my life in the the past two months here's a highly random roundup.

We finally came to the end of basketball season (J's team finished second in the conference. The best performance by the girls' varsity ever).

Had February Parent/Teacher conferences in which there were happy surprises and some less happy surprises. The happy outweighed the less happy, but the ongoing challenges of an LD kid continue to be an issue.

I've been doing a lot of volunteer work both at school and with the Friends of the Library.

I finished the edits on two manuscripts.

Have started a weekly chick flick viewing with my daughter as I've decided it's up to me to introduce her to the classics. Thus far we've watched "The Notebook" and "10 Things I Hate About You". I'm thinking that "The Cutting Edge" will be next week's viewing selection. She's already sampled some of the best of the John Hughes oeuvre on her own because everyone needs to know about Jake Ryan.

I've seen some recent releases in the actual theater on date-like outings alone with my husband (enjoyed both "Jumper" and "Definitely, Maybe").

Spent many fun hours trolling YouTube for clips and vids of shows from my fannish past with forays into vast quantities of nostalgia fic as well. Ah, LFN and GH in the Jax/Brenda and Carly/Jason years with some GG fic thrown in for good measure. *happy sigh*

I've also done some reading of actual books, but I'm thinking this is going to be a low output sort of year as I've been fairly unmotivated. Here's my relatively paltry output thus far.

( 2008 books to date )
