short update

Do you ever think you are going to write a killer post, but when you get around to actually doing so, you just don't feel like it? Well, that's me tonight.  I have now forgotten the password to my people tracker thing on here, so I can't even say if anyone is actually reading this.  But I don't care.  One of my closest friends has decided to stop blogging, for reasons I admit I do not understand, but whatever.  Even if I only post here 4 times a year, and even if I only have 3 dedicated readers, I don't really give a rat's ass.  There's something to the blogging world that just.... intrigues... me.  I started blogging on a whim, in 2005, and it soon became an obsession.  And it has ebbed and flowed, just like my beloved tides of the ocean, and that's fine with me.  The thing is, I am grateful that it exists as an option for me.  I was going to construct a post about my friend, who quit the blogging, but I don't even have time for that. What her quitting blogging has done, basically, is to make me realize that I may only blog once a year, but whatever.  It is still there as an option.  And you know me.  I go in fits and starts.  You want consistency?  Go to the professionals.  I am fine with that.  But if you want sporadic news from a hot mess in Saskatchewan?  You've come to the right place.

So, what has happened since I last blogged?  Well, I guess summer hit us.  My sweet family and I found a remote lake in the SK wilderness to spend our summers.  We took our tent trailer for a few weeks to this certain lake, with no water or electric hook ups, with 2 outhouses, and 13 camping spots.  We spent weeks there, fishing, camping, swimming, tanning.  We went with inlaws, were met by friends, and had a great time.  Best camping ever.  I spent the summer in the sun, shirtless, tanned like an Italian.  Actually, I looked Hispanic.  I am still dark.  Anyway, we spent the summer fishing, camping, tanning.  Can't wait for next year.  I've learned how to fish, and camp, and survive without electricity.

Then fall rolled around.  I am so busy at work.  Our numbers have doubled.  I now have a 1/2 time assistant.  I am teaching 2 classes.  I can't keep up.  We have been spending our weekends fishing at the river, catching suckers and pickerel.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.  I am not speaking to one sister, and I have a feeling the other two are getting together this weekend without telling me, but I don't want to think of it.  People with parents - make sure everything is right with your siblings.  When the folks go, everything gets fucked.

Anyway, this is boring so I am going to go on itunes and get some shit.

Miss all y'all.
