from the belly of the fish

hi ya'll!

i am sitting at starbucks for just a minute to grab an iced caramel macchiato and to steal some internet from buffalo wild wings next door :). i am headed to nashville to look for some dining room chairs -- i think. it is labor day, and i am not sure what will be open.

thanks for checking in guys. it has been really tough not having internet -- but i am surviving. maybe even a little better than i thought i would. because i bought a house in the middle of nowhere, getting internet hasn't been very easy. it is on my to-do list, but i am working a lot and have really had a difficult time getting it set up. the phone calls that i have made to companies have been frustrating (to say it nicely) and i would jsut about pay someone to come and help me -- to just make it happen. so... hence the reason, for no posts lately.

things are finally settling down. i started a second job the same week as closing on the house and one of the PTs at my full-time job quit, and life has basically been incredibly hectic. things are looking up though. i still haven't really unpacked fully and all that sits in my living room is a couch. yes, much of the house is still empty -- but i am slowly working on it. i will post pictures hopefully before next year :) as soon as i get internet, communication will be back. anyone who wants to visit and give me a hand is more than welcome :) and dave you are gladly invited to come and help me paint ee cummings on the wall !!! haha -- it will get done eventually... but again, haven't had much time. actually 'ode to dave' i was unpacking some books today and found a copy of legends of the fall -- you gave that to me! thanks :) again.

ok guys -- this is a selfish me me me post. i miss all of you. God bless you.
