Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes....

Gosh, it surely has been a long time since I updated this blog. There are so many people I miss... so many I have no idea how to get in touch with. Especially you, MEL! (There was no way to get to you from your comment and I have long since lost your info due to hard drive reformatting.)

If anyone wishes to get in touch, I'm going to post my junk e-mail address, just please put some reference to who you are in the subject so I can rescue your e-mail from being deleted. dresnboots at yahoo dot com .

These days, life (single life) is treating me pretty well. No complaints. Amazing how things that once felt so devastating become some of the best things to ever happen to you in your life. My divorce (technically, dissolution of civil union) was final on Dec 29th. :) I am now legally single. (And, by the way, the process was EXACTLY the same as divorce. Court and all.)

I just got back from a short getaway with a friend to the Dominican Republic. It was just what I needed. We left the DR the night before the earthquake in Haiti. I'd say we were lucky to get while we did, however, I kind of wished we had still been there because I'd have liked to be able to help in some other way than monetarily. It just doesn't feel the same when you can't get your hands dirty. (We actually almost rescheduled our trip home because I was sick Monday morning, but with help from a lot of Pepto, we were able to make our PM flight.)

You'll never believe that my sweet girl is now 11. It shocks me every day. She's still a sweetheart, but with a dose of 11 year old attitude mixed in now and then. Nothing unusual, though, she's still easier to parent than most. Gosh, I hope it stays that way!

I'm getting chubby again. Gained 20 pounds of the weight I had lost when the ex and I first split. But I'm so freakin' happy these days that it doesn't really even bother me.

Well, that's it for the moment. Hope things are going wonderful for you. PLEASE UPDATE ME!
