To catch up...

If I go back and attempt to trace April, May, and June with the same detail that I put into February and March, I'll be here forever.

So, here's the lowdown:
April: I got shingles. Was out of work for a month. Had horrible nasty disgusting awful nasty ugly pustules all over my back and neck. It was not attractive. And it hurt like hell. I don't recommend getting shingles. I don't even recommend wishing it on your worst enemy. It just seems overly mean.

April 30: We closed on our house. Woohoo! We're homeowners!

May 1-10: We painted three rooms in the house. The bedroom was supoosed to be 'Cranberry Zing.' Turned out to be Brothel Red. The library was supposed to be 'Geranium Leaf.' Turned out to be Kermit Green. We haven't called it a library since - it's the Green Room now. That's good though, since having a library seems somewhat pretentious, yes?

May 12: I went all Changing Rooms/Trading Spaces on the library, doing a faux finish by sponging on 'Pacific Pine.' It looks good. That said, I still have part of two walls left in there to do.

Mid-May: We moved into the new house... mostly. The big stuff got moved, the heavy stuff got moved, but there was still a lot of crap left at the old place. We didn't get all of that out of there until last weekend.

June 3: Adam's Rib (my all-girl comedy troupe) had its second show. We rocked the house. We are now taking a hiatus while Kara has her baby (yay! welcome Anna!). We'll probably take a hiatus late in the year when Jenney has her baby (yay! In-utero Cheever!). Do not fear, blog reader. Just because half of the troupe is pregnant does not mean that it's in the water. That said, I've stopped drinking water at rehearsals.

Early June: We got a dog! Yay! His name is Bacon; he's a basset hound (with a pinch of beagle tossed in for good measure) and he's just about the cutest thing ever. He lives to smell things.

And, erm, mid-June: I've decided that since I hate my job and have no specific career path, that I'm going to go back to school and get my Master's degree. Since then, I have commenced my GRE studies. Expect to see impressive words mingled throughout my speech from here on in, y'all.

And thus, you are caught up. The task of blogging has become less onerous as a result. And while I have been penurious in my attention to the blog, I hope my renewed interest shall perdure. So don't feel lugubrious. I'll be back soon.
