I have been quite the horrible blogger - and for anyone who actually tries to check up on this and read something new (and hopefully interesting), I do sincerely apologize.
I would like to blame it on being way too tired to blog ... but I think the truth is I actually blogged myself out for awhile. I have always loved being on the computer and I can remember the days when it used to cause fights in the
Fishburn homestead (before the days of unlimited, cable Internet --- you know, back in the pay for the minutes dial up after you walked to school, uphill, both ways, barefoot, in the snow?) ... Okay, so anyway - I am not like that anymore. I do the random check on
Facebook (to see if anyone has poked me or written on my wall) and check my email. I pay my bills and then check my bank account to make sure I should have paid my bills (I will have to think about reversing that trend soon I think). Besides that, I have decided there is nothing to do on the Internet. But alas, I am mistaken.
I am supposed to be keeping up with my life on here. And I will attempt to catch you up on the most interesting details so far (since March). After March and snow - Memphis just gets different. Hot. Then cool. Now, it's Hot. But before it got HOT - 95 in Spring - more happened. And it's not always weather.
We finally moved into the new place - and I must say it is much nicer. We had a great time and really, had very little to do. Dustin's mom, thinking as a mom does, hired movers. They saved the day, as Dustin ended up working overnights and strange hours ... After the movers were finished and Dustin's mom left - my parents and the
TOVEYS showed up. It seems that most people are surprised about the fact my parents enjoyed these two crazy guys from college and really thought they were good guys - despite the "little one" being kicked out of bars, throwing punches on the stairs, and passing out on the living room floor. Not to mention, my dad missed out on great BBQ as we had to leave the restaurant as well --- but to the "little one's" credit - two strange guys were buying him double jack/cokes at the bar all night....
Unfortunately my parents and Memphis (the puppy) had to leave and life returned back to normal - just in a new apartment. Mr. Bud returned (as is seen on the photo blog). Dustin and I resumed working 40 hour weeks. Weekends have consisted of way too much travel. And now it's May.
My job is going, yet I am continuing to wish I could find a new career ... But I am going to stick out just a little longer for the hope that something good will happen. It is great how understanding my boss is about time off, and she has allowed quite a bit so far - I am grateful.
A few things that have made me smile (in no particular order)
1. Going home and seeing my parents at home and sleeping in my bed.
2. SEEING AVA!!! We hung out and she made me smile so many times ... I have surely missed that angel
3. Nashville visits (including the Grand Ole
Opry!)
4. Mr. Bud opening up the door to feed himself (a recent development in his
repertoire of amazing skills ...)5. Mr. Bud sounding like a ghost instead of an old accordian6. SMOLA - need I say more?7. Graceland - yes, we finally did it. We enjoyed it.8. Sunset Symphony and seeing my two favorite children from the child care center)9. AFV nights on ABC Family (and Dustin laughing hysterically at a ball montage)10. BBQ festival and free food and drinks11. Music Festival and friends.... That's all for now folks. ... I'll try (but do not promise) to do better. I know this was kinda dry, and I hope to liven it up again sometime soon (but my want to write has dwindled, so please bear with me until it returns).
