Even Longer Time, No Post...

I'm lame. It's been just about a year since I've posted on here. Meanwhile, my last "long time no post" post has got like 22 spam comments, what gives? People writing me about lemon laws. Where does that post say anything about lemon laws?

So, here's some highlights (and lowlights of the last year) , and recent memory:

• Went back to the UK again for Christmas, which included a day trip on Boxing day to Edinburgh, well, just outside to see a dear old friend, spending New Year's Eve in Barcleona with Paul's friend Martin- drinking good wine, eating yummy tapas, and staying out until the wee hours.
• 41st birthday pretty much came and went without much fanfare- skipped any early spring trips due to money and time contraints
• We've become good friends with some of the people in Paul's Brit Expat Group. We just went on a reggae sailing cruise on the Clipper City with some of the DC folks.
• Paul's Mum and brother came over for a visit in June- took them to Assateaugue/Chincoteague, to see the Rockwell Exhibit I managed the installation of, and hung out with them in the new to them house.*
• Just after they left, Paul and I went to Maine for our 5th anniversary. Ate lotsa lobstah! We gave each other trees. He got a Japanese Maple and I got aMagnolia.
• Just as I was getting back into working out and actual calorie counting (via an online journal), I got derailed by a stomach flu. :-( Hope to get back at it over the weekend. We both let our gym memberships laspe- they're quite expensive, especially when you don't use them regularly, so I got a DVD, some more weights, one of those balls, and have started walking outdoors again, while the weather is nice. (but not for the next couple of days, the remnants of Tropical Storm Ernesto is headed our way).
• My li'l nephew just turned 3. All of the little mini babies born a coupla years ago to friends and relations now all have vocabularies!

Hard to believe a whole year has passed.

Is it good to just watch the years go by without momentous happenings? I suppose so, so long as one is fairly happy and contented. I'm still crazy in love with my Mr., happy to pad around the house and play with the cats, and grateful to (mostly) have my health, a job, friends and loved ones.

I'll try not to wait another year before posting again...
