what i've been up to

some of you might be wondering what exactly i've been up to during my hiatus. instead of regaling you with my tales of winning multiple Olympic medals and two Nobel prizes, not to mention the numerous humanitarian awards and the Congressional Medal of Honor; instead of all of that, i will just humbly say: nothing. No, instead of tooting my own horn (which you know, from the last post, i'm quite good at) by telling you about the six Pulitzer Prize-winning novels i wrote, or the countless women and children i saved from sure death with bravery and cunning, or about the time i invented a fighter plane, test flew it, armed it, flew a one-man sortee culminating in 65 confirmed air-to-air kills; instead of all of that, suffice it to say that i didn't do very much of anything.

i relaxed. got to know myself a little better (again, see the previous post) and arrived at a point on my journey where i can finally do what i've always loved doing: eating endless bowls of Cap'n Crunch...oh, and writing poetry.

one day, perhaps, i'll spin my grandiose tales for all of your amusement. maybe one day.

doing nothing is often the best kind of doing.

and no, I won't "see your last post" whatever the hell that means.

yes you will...you will see it and you'll like it.

read it...memorize it. revel in my shame....soak your lazy bones in my embarrassment!

doing nothing...reminds me of my favorite line from Office Space: "I did nothing...and it was everything I thought it could be."

Hey, that last post was hilarious, and I am going to have my husband read it for surely in the future we will go through the same. Oh, and congrats on the Medal of Honor, the Pulitzer, been pretty busy during that hiatus, no?

While I would agree that doing
nothing is God's Own Work,
I'll offer that it sure is nice to
see your sorry ass again.

Father Luke, reporting for duty, Sir.

I'm SO glad you're back. Of course I'm pissed that I'm realizing this some four months after you've actually come back...but whatever...it will make for a nice few days of catch up reading!

missed you Jus.
