not gone but probably forgotten

it's been so long since i've written anything of substance. but it was time for me to crawl in a cave and thus emerge, dirty and tired. after two months of insomnia and too many hours spent on a family project, my hiatus is over for the moment. my grandma's memorial service was last weekend. i worked on the program for the service and after three excruciating weeks of drafts, edits, and additions, it's done. a one-page pictoral tribute to my grandma spawned a program and thank-you notes before the whole thing was finished. two great things came out of it, one, i hopefully have a credit at paper source which is the best paper store next to one in new york city (kate's paperie). i love it dearly and hope that my family didn't use all of the envelopes i purchased. the other great thing is that it ended up being beautiful (which i can say now). it took a few days passing before i could even look at it with any sort of appreciation at all.

also, in the course of my two-month hiatus, i found my lost long pen pal. i'm so happy about that. i'll call him pH. he found me through findlaw (and my lawyerly husband). and even pH commented on how hot my husband looks on findlaw. i'd have to say i agree. it really is an awesome picture. i'm just lucky that i get to come home to it every night. whoo hoo for me! okay, enough self-indulgence.

things are good. i'm a freelancing consultant. maybe now i'll find more time to write?
