Forgive me readers, for I have lapsed. It’s been 12 days since my last post…

Sounds like I’m in the confessional. In a way, I guess I am. (That’s a Catholic reference, people).

I’m slowly working my way out of my funk.

I have been spending too much time on Facebook. But I’ve tracked down some friends – from when I was stationed in Grand Forks, from my first two years at Rutgers, from high school. It’s been kind of fun. And a total time suck.

I’ve been crazy busy with work projects. I have a new system with post it notes on a white board. It’s helping me stay slightly more organized.

I’ve been re-watching The OC on SoapNet and answering The OC trivia questions on Facebook. I know it’s crazy, but I just loved that show. Total escapism, lots of humor and I just think Ryan Atwood (portrayed by Ben McKenzie) is totally hot.

Plus the new tv season started! We’ve been watching Fringe, Supernatural, Eureka and My Name Is Earl. I also just watched the premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. Project Runway is finishing up. And I’m waiting for Private Practice, Desperate Housewives and Lipstick Jungle to start again. And of course, The Daily Show. It’s the only way I can get tolerable news of the presidential campaign. Is it over yet???

The boys are great. Zander’s loud and Zevan’s been having tantrums over nothing, but otherwise things are going well. Zander’s eye is better, Zevan’s chin is healing. Zander reads so much now. And Zevan is totally into drawing pictures – particularly of Jedi. They like school. We’re in a good routine with the grandparents. We’ve been to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science twice since we got our membership. We just got back from the last class of this month’s preschool zoo class. The boys made porcupines out of play doh and pasta.

I’ve got my routine down for my running workouts with May. Mondays are long runs on the Santa Fe Trail. Wednesdays are a 5 mi run in Ute Valley (super technical). Fridays are a 5 mi run in the Garden of the Gods (hilly) and Tiffany started with us this week. Tuesday nights are climbing. I really want to fit in one more climbing workout, but I’m not sure when I can do that.

The fall series starts Oct 5 – I’m looking forward to those races!

We’ve got a birthday party to leave for in half an hour. I need to wrap up the gift – okay, bag up the gift. And Mapquest directions.

So that’s it for now… Kind of boring, but it is what it is.
