Missed you guys

Hello there,

I can't go a week without thinking about one of you or all of you and so I thought I'd make an effort to pop in and be a part of the community once more.

Things are well in my neck of the woods. I switched jobs in July and I am now a faculty assistant in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology department. I abso-freaking-love it! I work with 4 fantastic Principle Investigators in a truly wonderful work environment.

Andy and I are well, some of us more than the other. I've put on 15 pounds since I began dating him two years ago and I'd like to get it back off. I told him he needs to be mean to me more often.

My kiddos are all well, the oldest is kicking butt and taking names in college. The two young boys keep me in interesting stories to stow away for future blackmail and embarrassment.

A few rough patches this past year, as to be expected, but hey, that's life. Generally I'm happy. Missed you all and this marvelous community.

I've wondered what became of you babe. Glad to know you're still swinging. Stop by more often, won'tcha?


Cheers,

RR

Aye, sir. Will do.

Been keeping up with you on your blog. Liked your last post "Grave Digger". Keep on writing!

Very good to see your post BB, I'd wondered where you might be.

Thanks for the update, it sounds like a pretty cool job now.

Good to hear from you BB. Like Brew said, don't be a stranger!

Welcome back!

Glad you dropped by...make it a habit!

Whoa! We must be in Penzance!

Miz Babe, Welcome back!! You still around the Chambersburg, PA area or did you move? FTRPLT

Hey! Good to see you back...

And just where have you been young lady?

You don't write, you don't call...

is this the way you treat the ones who love you?

Don't you ever let this happen again.

Aww thanks, it was inspired by one of the PI's I work with and a conversation we had. He read it and said, "God that's depressing, I hope our conversation wasn't that sad." LOL. It was odd more than anything. Got the 'ol gears turning towards dreams I had in the past and how I have made changes in my personal life over the past two years which now place me firmly in a position to actually pursue a few of them. It feels awkward to be able to do something for me when I've spent all of my adult life putting myself last.

Actually, I am now in the State College area. I do miss being so damn close to Boswell's, but my bank account is grateful. My kids live in Chambersburg with their dad though so I make it back enough.

::sniff, sniff:: I'm sorry, I, I, I've been out rabble rousing and misbehaving, being very un-lady like. You know me.

OK. We still love you. Time for the fatted calf!

Yay! Cheeseburgers! Can I get some bacon with that? And a good stout too.

Anything you want.

OK, that lil' exchange did make me chuckle. Good stuff!

 



Cheers,

Welcome back. It's good to hear you found yourself a nice position and life stuff is going pretty well. My wife put on some weight too since the pregnancy and the baby came. She also tells me she wants to lose it. She has a special set of eyeballs that see herself much more critically than is sane. Frankly, I'll be happier if she never gets around to doing it. If only all the ladies could see themselves through the eyes of those that truly love them. "Don Juan"medusa.

I couldn't agree more. And not just the ladies. I think we would all be amazed to see one another through the eyes of someone who loves us.

I worry less about my figure (I've always enjoyed the benefits of being a rather Rubenesque woman) and more about the diabetes on both sides of my family.

Young lady, you take that diabetes "stuff" seriously!! Take care of yourself FTRPLT

Yes, sir! I try. My genetics on both sides are a mixed bag of all sorts of fun health issues. I have this eerie feeling that I'm not going to make it out of this alive.
