Still Alive!

I wish I had some wickedly glamorous tale to tell as to why I have been gone for a week.
I would love to tell you that after accepting the job, (and there is a draft I started about it), that Laughs-A-Lot whisked me away to some place warm, secluded and romantic, and if you want to say that about St. Louis in July, well then I guess we are already there.

But, instead, I will give you honesty. It is, after all, the best policy.

I bought an MP3 player and have been loading it up, when not at Laughs-A-Lot's, helping him move and decorate. (The sofa, loveseat and tables are FANTASTIC! His brother-in-law wants me to shop with him and his wife when they are ready to buy, and his mother said this confirms I am a keeper.)

Saturday at an ungodly hour, I leave for my reunion trip with the kiddos from the pediatric cancer charity. TOTALLY psyched! TOTALLY not ready, though.
I am also working extra nights to cover vacation at the second job.

BUT...I hope to finish the two drafts I have saved.
