I’m still here. Sorry I haven’t written lately, I’ve been busy driving around with the dogs in my lap, dropping them, and chewing gum while discussing them with Matt Lauer. Oh, and all of the above with curlers in my hair. Seriously, the whole Blanche thing has taken a great deal of time for me…

Somethings I will never regret…
I will never regret making Blanche's birthday last year awesome… I will never regret buying 3 tickets to see Henley in '04…Blanche, SIL, and I… I will never regret not outwardly freaking out everytime she made me crazy. Inwardly freaking out is just a human response but outwardly freaking out is just grounds for guilt later…
MIL Update
First, for the news: She is in the hospital. She fell a few days ago at home. They think she had a minor cardiac problem but can't exactly pinpoint when. They are going to get her physical therapy but I'm not sure what for (I don't think she sustained any big injury when she fell)….
Vacation, all I ever wanted…Day Four (Tuesday)
Sorry….still a little fuzzy. I think that Tuesday was the first day that the boy and I went out on the ocean. He boogie boarded. I stood in the surf and watched him. (Hilarity ensues a few days later when he gets in too deep and I rescue him, fully dressed and in water up to my…
Vacation, all I ever wanted…Day Three (Monday)
This is where it all gets a little fuzzy. Was it Monday or Tuesday that I went to bed at midnight and woke up around 11 in the morning? What day did we go to Uncle Bubba's Oyster House? It was the same day we went to Olde Savannah, but what day was it? I…
Julie asks…
Why didn't the Ohio gang just stay at our house? That was actually the original plan, but it proved to be unfeasible for a # of reasons: 1) I realized I'd have to clean the house (including bathrooms) 2) Not enough beds (the boy's room is upstairs and I didn't want Blanche to have to…
Vacation, all I ever wanted…Day One (Saturday)
That is to say, the first Saturday of vacation. The previous day, we retrieved the boy from his mom’s house. She packed for him again. While she’s not my favorite person, I cannot tell you all how much of a luxury it is to not have to worry about finding an entire week’s worth of…
The boy knows…
The first night we were in Ohio, before we picked up Blanche and took her out for crab legs, we told the boy. We didn’t make any kind of production out of the whole thing. We just sat him down in the hotel room and explained that she would look different from how he’s used to…
Bill & Michelle’s wedding…
It was beautiful! Michelle was stunning. Her hair was so beautiful and her makeup was flawless! (Since I usually look like ass, I notice this stuff). Bill was…oh, jeez…my baby brother. He's TWELVE….why won't you people listen to me? He's too young. Where the hell did the time go? I'm pretty sure that it was…
Good News!!
Finally, finally, FINALLY some good fucking news… Gene spoke to Blanche yesterday. She is home from the hospital and eating REAL food. When Gene spoke to her she was eating chicken alfredo. YESSSSSS! We still leave for OH tomorrow morning. I found outfits for my aforementioned job interview and for Macauley's wedding. The dress for…
