I know I have promised a couple posts, which are still to come, but will have to wait another *gulp* two weeks.

This week is because I’m way behind on packing (did I mention we’re moving to a neighboring city this weekend?) and I’m fighting some serious brain buzzing. What is brain buzzing, you ask? It is when a certain woman (me) goes without her medication (bad) and results in what feels like the equivalent of a head rush coupled with a double D-cell battery powered vibrator strapped to one’s head. These brain buzzes may happen for a second or longer… like today’s record breaking hour and a half.

And next week’s excuse? While our cable and ISP are turning off this Thursday for our Friday/Saturday move, it isn’t being activated at our new apartment until the FOLLOWING Thursday. No muy bueno. But alas, I’ll have lots of unpacking to do to keep me busy. However, come Friday the 22nd of June, you can expect a slew of both the promised posts and many more random diatribes, to be sure.

In the meanwhile, appreciate the following:

1. The fact you’re not moving. All of your stuff and your mother-in-law’s stuff. Without the aid of your freakishly strong wife. (My Husband is a wonderful man, have I mentioned that?)

2. The fact you are not (hopefully) experiencing any of the following: brain buzzes, shedding dogs, insufficient funds, gossip columns, plantaris tendon tears, high blood pressure or starvation. (No, I’m not implying I’m experiencing all of this. Just some of these and then some things I am really grateful I’m not experiencing, as you should be!)

3. Your father this coming Sunday. He got it on with your mom and 9 months later, out you came. Even if the old man didn’t raise you, pay for that shiny new Dodge Viper when you were sixteen or send you to Europe for the summer… you wouldn’t be here without him. And if he did do those other things, well, you damn well better appreciate him!

4. Your bed. Why? Because no matter how old you are, it’s still really comforting to hide under the covers sometimes.

Happy Father’s Day, to both my Daddy and my fabulous father-in-law…

My Dad and I rocking out to “Enter the Sandman” by Metallica on my wedding day… he was quite drunk by then and I was just really happy…

Sailing with my father-in-law, Gary…

See you on June 22nd! Until then, read, write and leave some good comments for me to read when I get back!
