Has it really been so long?

So the good news is that I'd thought I hadn't posted anything since December, when in actuality I posted in January, making this post NOT the first post of 2013.  YES!

The bad news is that this is the first post since January ... well, it's not quite March, so I at least I'm not skipping months?

Anyways ...

Here's a brief update of life to get everything caught up before I start posting regularly again (which I will! I (almost) promise!)

In bullet points - since otherwise I'll talk forever.
  • John has spent the past two months working in the lab - and he's been loving it!  One of his classmates has been in the same lab for the past 6-7 weeks, and at the end of that time, she'd done 2 experiments, and he'd done 11.  Yeah ... the PI in the lab told John last week that he'd earned a spot in the lab.  I'm just thrilled that John is happy with what he's doing!
  • My job has gone completely insane - and not really in a good way.  I'll probably do a whole post about it, but let's just say that I am actively looking for a new job right now.  
  • Honey has had some drama of her own - we discovered that she has a stress allergy (she gets stressed - her skin turns black), and last Friday we had to rush her to the vet for emergency surgery because she was completely full of bladder stones.  Seriously - she had about 20 of them, all about the size of peas or larger.  
  • Sorry if that's TMI
  • I was asked to be maid of honor (although technically it's matron (which sounds so old)) at my brother's wedding!!!  Even though he hasn't technically asked her yet, because all his elaborate planning completely fell apart.  They'll get it all sorted out eventually.  Maybe he'll never actually ask her, and they'll get married, and that will be a great story to tell their kids someday.
  • And I SO need to lose some weight before the wedding.
Sooo ... that's that.  Back to a normal, regular posting schedule.
