I don’t expect my absence has been noticed, but all the same- I’m glad to wander back by and see the loveliness exploding all around and the crazy shit being scientifically annotated.  My horizons require broadening, and I do think there are some laughs to be had.

I’ve tried, but I simply cannot rock the bronzer.

Stressed out?  Need a break from the goings on of your day?  Spend lunch with the Manatee Cam at Blue Springs State Park~ courtesy of the Save the Manatee Club.  No matter the crap on my desk or the demands of people with bigger offices than I’ll ever have, I can always get back to center with a few minutes spent on sea cow loving.

Very very happy- and it’s due in no small part to my dog.  Love, entertainment, accountability, love, affection, and love: reasons why having a dog makes people happy.  Thanks, SophieLou- you’re fabulous.  Now get your wubba and let’s play some fetch before nap time.

My house isn’t as clean as it could be, my desk is hardly as organized as it could be, and I have overdue library books- BUT- my yoga is improving, we have ice cream sandwiches in the freezer, and the same amazing woman kissed me goodbye on her way to work this morning who has for the last 13 or so years: my life is beautiful.
