Oh, yeah, I have a BLOG!

So, I'm pretty much a loser. A big, blog-ignoring loser. A blu-ger. (Not to be confused with those little things... oh, nevermind me & my middle school humor.)

It's just that a lot of small, neat, adorably precious moments have passed in my life since March -- not that any of you would know it, the way I fail to post even the slightest mention of them!

I'm determined to do better. Really. Seriously. I have this long list of Miles-isms in my head (if only I could remember the file name under which said document is saved!?) that I could post throughout the summer, even if nothing else happens. But then, something is always happening. Like today, at lunch, when Miles stuck his tongue out at me. I thought he was being rude until I began to glean a word and a gesture in his antics. "See? See dere?" He retracted the organ and said, clearly, "I know what all those little bumps on my tongue are called. Do you? They're called taste-testers. And, BOY, do they work!"

So, see? See dere? Funny stuff happens all the time! I just have to get myself in gear to WRITE IT DOWN when it does.

I have been working on a rather long essay for about half a month now, and I finally decided, just tonight, to just send it out there not quite polished. It's what I can do for myself today. And I need the feeling of having done SOMETHING today. I miss my blog! I miss the very imperfect effort of writing for my blog. I want it all back! And so I will begin, again. Hopefully, I can retrain my family and friends to stop back by on occasion. As any of you do, enjoy the post below. It's nicely (that is, I hope "nicely," and not "overly") personal. And it's been percolating for a while. :)

Hugs and kisses, friends!
