Yeah, I'm still doing that whole life thing. I'm also still doing that thing where I disappear for a while, eh? I never did post about me and Tom. Essentially we talked everything out. It was the first time since we first got together that we stayed up all night, just talking. Of course there was some...other stuff (heh), but mostly talking. We've still got a few issues - what couple doesn't - but we're working on it, and we're stronger than ever. Almost a year, now. And there's an announcement in the making, but we're holding off going public. A little hint: one word - California. I'm taking him home to meet the rents in a couple of weeks.

Speaking of, life on the family front is stable for the moment. My brother's family is still MIA, and honestly, it's probably better off. There's only so much crazy a family can handle, and honestly, my mom's enough. Though they adjusted her meds, took some stuff away, and she's - surprisingly - the mom I remember from the good times. I'm pretty excited to visit. Maybe we'll swing by St. Louis and pick up my sister and we can be a family again for a weekend. That sounds nice.

The job is...well, the job is hell. But I've been through hell before, right? Somehow ten hour days translate to 60-70 hour or 12 day work weeks. Something keeps telling me there are some more big changes coming for me. I'm applying for a promotion, and the company is restructering so it's the perfect time. We're moving to the new airport next month. And, I'm making some new friends through work, which is a nice change.

I'm definetely feeling some age lately, which spooks me. Justin and Cari just bought a house, and at the last party we had we were talking about mortgage rates and insurance and daycare and debt consollidation. I don't think I like this. Lately I've really been missing my crazy days in chi-town. I'm kind of feeling like everyone around me is growing up and for the first time - I don't wanna! Don't make me older with you people. I'm itching for change - new digs, new friends, new excitement. I'm counting down the days until Tom's graduation. Because, while I've certainly made some family here, I'm ready to move on. I'm ready for my sojourn into the slow lane to be over. The next couple of years are going to fly by, though. I can't believe I moved here almost two years ago. I look back at the Frank Fiasco and it's like it's someone else's life. One of the worst times of my life, and I don't even think about it anymore.

I figure I'm in a pretty good place right now. I'm happy - but as is my nature, always looking and wanting for more. Now there's a frozen pizza, homemade sugar cookies, and a fresh shiny new copy of Boondock Saints with my name all over them.
