Well, first, Jen of ‘Chapter Next’ shamed me. Next, I am happy as a pig in sh*t because I have my electricity back after three days without, because my home escaped major damage from the tornadoes that tore thru here Wednesday, and finally, because my day looks like this:

There are also the sports-related happies, which don’t do much for most of you but render this crazed sports fan all but delirious (Go N.O. Hornets!!! Go LSU Baseball!!! Hell yeah!).
The kiddies have one week of half-days and then are out for the summer. Because they are older now and I’m not busy juggling them from one camp/activity/sitter to the next, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that the ONLY person I am responsible for getting up and out of here every morning for the next three months is moi.
I have also found a new recipe for something called Cheeseburger Paradise Soup that appears to have all the makings of sex in a stockpot, as far as I’m concerned. (I’ll let you all know if it does end up being all that.)
One more thing — I’m just so damn PROUD of my girl Rebecca I could just crawl right thru this computer and hug her to death. (Not linking to her — many of you know her and it’s not all that hard to find her if you really want to visit, so until I know it’s cool with her, I’ll make y’all do the work.)
Finally, it’s time to make up for being a total jackass in the Happy Birthday department. I’ve been remiss, at best, and would like to at least make up for my transgressions by listing the May birthdays (past and coming up). And I pray that those of you whose birthdays passed with nary a word from the Nerd can forgive me. Because I am a simple, simple soul. Please join me in wishing dbgrin, Kristie, Brenda Love, StewMagoo, and Tiff the happiest of May birthdays. (I’m not gonna link because you are so not gonna go there. I know this much from my foray into the blogging world: people would rather paper-cut the little skin thingie under their tongues** than to click ‘go here’ links. So just wish ‘em here, will ya?) (Late afternoon ed. note: AND KATE! MAKE SURE YOU WISH KATE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO!!!!)
I’m out. For now. With a kiss and a promise to return on a more regular basis.
(**Really gave you the willies there, didn’t I? )

Hooray for modern technology! I hear electricity is a good thing, ranked right up there with indoor plumbing by most humans with, you know, brains and stuff.
And hey, no problem, don’t worry about it, I don’t need the happiest of May birthdays. Just a mundane one will do just fine. Really.
:neener:

Ha! Who says guilt isn’t an effective tool?
Glad to see you, WN. And glad you are both safe and with power to burn.
May 17, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Ahhhhhh, Kate, I didn’t know! I sent out a birthday alarm e-mail a long time ago to people I had e-mail addresses for…tell me your birthday and I’ll put it in my handy-dandy notebook!
May 17, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Willies? OH YEAH. Glad you’re back though. Lend a little erudition to the internet, dude.
May 17, 2008 at 3:54 pm
**Why? Who the heck ever did that?
Good, Nerd, though I’d be happier if you had said you didn’t suffer any damage.
That’s a great last sentence!(Not the one inparentheses)

We only lost power here (in Watson) for about 5 hours, but my sister who lives 2 miles from me was without for 2 days.
We went to the last two Hornets games, probably won’t go to the next one, but will be rooting them on from the comfort of my bed.
May 17, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Amy, hope you guys didn’t have too much damage. I am what is very much a fairweather fan — I actually HATE NBA basketball, but I’ve gotten caught up in the Hornets delirium (because anything that helps N.O. is fine by me).
May 17, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Tornadoes how exotic . . and scary I guess . . .and I don’t mind clicking blog links actually . . .it’s a regular Sunday morning activity. The stew sounds awful so post the recipe and prove me wrong! Glad to see you back.
May 17, 2008 at 9:32 pm
So what days are their birthdays? I like to be more precise than just a month!
May 17, 2008 at 10:05 pm
M’kay, Kenju, here you go: dbgrin’s was May 8, Kristie and Brenda Love are tomorrow (the 18th), Stew’s is the 19th, and Tiff rounds out the month on the 31st.

OMG! We had bad weather this week and last but nothing like that. I’m glad you are ok. Please email me if you or your family need ANYTHING!!!
Happy Birthday, people

Good to know you are up and running again. We were on the outskirts of some really nasty stuff, then it went your way. Just north of the city had some real scary damage going on.
May 18, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Thanks for the b-day shout out and for finally giving us a blog post! I am glad you escaped the wrath of the storms.
May 18, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Thank goodness you escaped major damage, who needs roofers!? ha! Enjoy your steady paced end of school while the rest of us are pulling our freaking hair out. I need to find a teen to haul mine around.
May 19, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Glad you’re ok!
and yeah, the weather is GORGEOUS! why can’t it stay like this all summer?
May 21, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I’ts called a frenum.
The lingual frenum. Hurts like a mutha when it gets stretched. Go on, ax me how I know.
Glad to see youback on the innerwebs, WN!
