A blog lost and rediscovered...

SO, I have been home, alone and sick for three days now. I'm totally bored and restless but feeling pretty lethargic and crappy still. I am so bored (and coincidentally, boring) that I just googled myself. And under Sunie I found...This blog! I kind of forgot that I had it. It has been sorely neglected since early 2005. I could have had two babies since the last time I wrote in this blog. I could have climbed Mt. Everest and run the Boston Marathon. Of course, I didn't do any of those things. IF I had, I would have had something impressive to blog about, right?

I just finished my yearly vacation to the beach. I do love the beach. There is just something peaceful about the water and the waves and maybe even the realization that their power could crush us all. We went to SeaSide Oregon this year. I wasn't really that impressed. It was ok. Not great. We had an ok time. Not great. The best thing about the trip is that Oregon has no sales tax. That way, when you go to the Liz Claiborne outlet, they only charge you the price of the three handbags and two pairs of sunglasses you buy, not 7.2% more or whatever it is that they charge in Washington.

I turned 32 while we were away. My birthday was also... (wait for it, wait for it...) ok. No big bang there. Fought with my assjerk of a brother before he packed his family up and went home, opened the presents that I expected, didn't get a cake since there were left over cupcakes from my nephew's birthday. We went to Astoria (where they filmed the Goonies-one of the most badass movies, ever!) and looked around, toured an abandoned fort system dating back to the Civil War. Came home and took a nap since I was starting to feel crappy.

Tomorrow I go back to work after 6 glorious days off. Since I am feeling so bored by now, I am almost ready to go back. Wish I was feeling a bit better though. I think I'll go to bed now and pray for health and a less red nose by morning. Go away cough, go away sore throat. I get to go to work tomorrow!!!

Ciao, blog. I'll try to stay in closer touch!
