Hmmm

Greetings, salutations, the Lexus and the Olive Tree (business and pol sci folks should know the book).
It has been a while since I've taken time to sit and write something. Call it laziness or a forced sabbatical. In the 2 months that I've been away, soo much has taken place that I'm not even sure I have fully absorbed the changes.
I'm still quasi spoken for. The phrase it's complicated doesn't even begin to explain the situation. Word to the wise, look before you jump - in fact look twice.
I'm doing what I love to do. I decided to go against the grain and general advice and stick to the area of IT that I like - the paycheck is non existent but I love doing it.
You know you're in a different place in your life when you have time marked off on your calendar to attend to some fraying edges and buttons that fell off during the week.
O I turned 28 in the interim and I must say the late 20s have been interesting thus far. For my birthday, I dressed my niece as a mini me and we got our pimp stroll on. That kid is a flirt and our pick-up mojo is sync. Yessir, whichever team she ends up batting for needs to watch out.
Y'all have a great weekend folks!

And we're back ...

The thing about family is

That you don't get to choose them most of the time. They choose you and you are stuck with them for life. That hold true for everyone. What equally holds true is that we are able to build "families" of our own as we grow. These are the people who've supported us, who are kindred spirits and those who we know, if at 2am you need some advice about a break-up, they will not cuss you out proper.

I have had the great fortune to be able to choose my family and most of them live in the Buckeye state. There are people there that I literally call mom because they have been my mothers throughout the years and I am grateful to them. They've given me that motherly love that I have needed at times when I would have been hard pressed to get it from my blood family.

Now why did I feel the need to put it down, well one of these fine women who I call mother is Irish American and I've been invited over for a wee bit of a family gathering with lots of dancing promised as only the Irish can do.

So Happy St Paddy's day to you folks and especially to the woman that is a mother to me and happens to be Irish. :)

Tuesday Beat: Sugarland - Love

Sugarland takes me back to the days in sunny OH when I finally gave in and started listening to @1037cky or Buckeye Country as it was called back then. I love, love, love Jennifer Nettles' voice. If you love her voice you should check out her CD An Acoustic Evening with Jennifer Nettles II.
