Okay, okay.

I'm here.  Really.  Sort of.  But, stick with me.  I've been trying to make a montage on flickr or something.  Something I could set to some fast music.  Some way to show you our lives over the last few weeks that I've been mysteriously absent (and angry).  But, I can't get that nonsense to work.  I need a tutorial.  Whatever.  But, if there was a video, you'd see pictures of...

A broken refrigerator, a nused refrigerator, a lot of borrowing of my brother's truck, a gerbil cage, no gerbil (thank goodness), a weird green cartoon vapor representing a moldly smell drifting up from under my bathtub, a lot of miscellaneous tools, a discarded bathtub, a new bathtub, a lot of dust and almost as much insulation, Easter dresses, me sleeping pretending-to-sleep-but-really-taking-photos-of-myself-to-represent-my-exhaustion, me writing papers, me filling in at my precious LHF, cute little girls, anxiety, SLB*, lots of partying (not), and another busted light on my car.

And, the video would probably be set to this...you know, if I thought you could ignore the totally unexpected reference to "his ass."
