Almost a month????

I can't stand how fast time goes by. I haven't written here in almost a month? I'm sure the four of you reading this blog missed it tremendously. He, he...

"He, he" reminds me... I've noticed how many men in their e-mails write "he, he" instead of "hee, hee," myself included. Do we have masculinity issues? "Hee, hee" sounds so much like "Tee, hee" which is a little school-girlish, isn't it? "LYLAS... Tee, hee." (Extra points for those that can tell me what LYLAS means.) And "ha, ha" strikes me as... I don't know, juvenile somehow. "Ho, ho" is too much like "ho, ho, ho" and I have trouble enough saying that at the holidays, now that I live in Phoenix. Rambling here...

Trip to SF was fine. Not perfect due to some family squabbling that took place (and is still taking place), but I don't want to go into that. Sis is a handful. Mom loves seeing her kids (including my partner and my brother-in-law) all together. It's really worth it just knowing what it means to her. My sweet Mama... Whose birthday was yesterday.

Sis and I will get over it... The trip reminded me of all of the family vacations when we were kids that she just about ruined because she didn't get her way. I love her though. What can you do? We're gonna hug it out eventually. We all had fun although it wasn't as restful and stress-free as I needed it to be.

I just got back from a quick jaunt to see my best friend from Phoenix in Breckenridge, CO where he plays in a summer music festival. Love him. Love the mountains. Love Colorado. Too bad my BF spent almost 30 years in Denver and never wants to go back. I would love being that close to mountains again. Flagstaff will have to do for now, I guess.

Going to Ohio at the end of the month to visit friends in Portsmouth. (????) They just moved there from New York City. (????????) Will be interesting to see what their life is like there. It'll be really fun for us all to be together.

Will put up some fun pictures soon.
