I have positively sucked at updating this.
Life has been busy. I flew from Houston to Cleveland yesterday, and I'm here until next Thursday. School is starting again for Rob and, though I trust the man implicitly, I sure do hate those pretty little college girls that flounce around and hit on him/check him out. I might have to go back home a little more often and kick some co-ed ass...I wonder if my boss would give me time off for that.
I thought I had a blog in mind, but if there was one, it's gone.

New Addition
I bought a car today!
It took a lot of work, some haggling, and help from my darling fiance (I don't have the self-confidence or assertiveness to do this kind of thing), but I am now the proud owner of a brand-new 2010 Toyota Corolla!
I was going to get a used Ford Focus, but because of a special rebate program that I qualified for I actually got a brand-new car for the same price (or cheaper) than the used. Pretty kick-ass. The only thing that makes me a little sad is the absence of power windows/locks, but quite frankly, for what I paid for the car...I can deal with the few extra seconds of work.
This was a big step for me so I was pretty excited.
Headed to Houston on Tuesday, then back to Cleveland on Saturday. Life got pretty damn busy pretty damn quickly.

Pushing through.
I still have Blogger's Block but dammit, I'm going to sit down and try to write a coherent post.
The new job has been going well, though the travel does take some getting used to. I call Robbie at every opportunity of course (and, I admit it, I even had him put Cypress on the phone once) and so far, so good. I enjoy being challenged at work for once.
One particularly positive aspect of traveling so much is that I have all but gotten over my fear of driving on the interstate. Previously, I white-knuckled my way through merging (if there was more than one car, tears were inevitable) and then stayed in the right lane going exactly 65 or, if I got behind someone slow, maybe around 55. I NEVER passed. But after a few times I realized that dammit, time to man up, and now I can merge like a PRO. I pass everyone who isn't going a solid, consistent speed of around 73-74 mph. Granted, this is on the Maine interstate, which is only 2 lanes for each direction except for a few miles down south. But it's a step.
Also, air travel problems don't automatically make me burst into tears as they have in the past. Now I [to a certain extent] take a, "fuck it," sort of attitude and just deal with what comes. I made sure to enter in all the customer service numbers for the airlines I use so that I can talk to them rather than standing in line with all those other pissy people during a delay. We all know that people are at their ABSOLUTE BEST OMG on airplanes.
Alright, that took all my energy. I got nothing. I want to be humorous, witty, clever, blah blah de freakin' blah but I just don't have it. I suuuure suck at this.

I have come down with...
...a bad case of BLOGGER'S BLOCK.
I got nothing, seriously.
I'm keeping up to date on all of yours, though!
