Playing catch up for the umpteenth time
Sorry I missed blogging at you for the entire month of August over here. Would you believe I was busy? Busy surviving an earthquake (which I DID feel thankyouverymuch since I was on the 10th floor of a very shaky office building at the time), Hurricane Irene (which left BW and I without power, water and patience for 5 days) and a nest of bald faced hornets about this big. (The hornet guy killed them for me last Wednesday. Sweet relief! I felt a little guilty at first but I got over it. Guess I won’t be converting to Buddhism anytime soon. Neither will he.)
Now that September has rolled around and the natural disasters seemed to have ebbed to for the time being, my attention has turned to football, my 40th birthday and the winterization of Casa de Chaos. Did I mention our chimney is coming away from the house? Indeed. Happy Birthday to me. (And to BW whose birthday closed out the month of August!) It’s pretty sad that the chimney is 10 years my junior and literally falling apart at the seams. And since the chimney saga really deserves it’s own post, I’ll just leave you with the knowledge that it needs to be rebuilt and that the rebuilding process commences tomorrow. Le sigh.
I’m typing this post en route back to Boston (post-birthday celebration – yet another separate post) on a Concord Trailways coach and my eyes are weary from road rattle. Dear readers, I need to wrap up. Thanks for checking in. I’ll try to write something pithy for your amusement later in the week. You know how it goes though….there’s always plenty of fodder, just not always plenty of time.

Better to have fodder and lack time than the other way around, I always say. Or, just said for the first time.
