So, my bad. I've been gone awhile.
Well, life got busy.
For one, the dang Human Subjects division decided to grant permission for me to do my dissertation. Happy frickin' hallelujah. Then, I realized...oh crap. I have to actually go and FINISH this thing. So I've been out and about, recruiting participants and starting to interview.
For two, I'm working a full-time job that tried to strangle me by the throat starting in November. I think it's a combination of students actually doing what we want them to, coming in earlier and not waiting until the last minute (January), combined with the fact that we are down three advisors, that has sent me into a neurotic state.
For three, Chad entered my life. No, I'm not cheating on Jesse. Chad is my new personal trainer that came with my gym package. And he's awesome. But if I don't want him to kill me, leaving me to rot on the gym floor at the end of our sessions, I had better get my tail to the gym nearly everyday to keep up.
For four, I went to Texas (yee-haw!) for my cousin's wedding and Thanksgiving. It was my first holiday to be apart from Jesse. Sob. It was also my first time to be away from Boss. And I know he's not a child, but I really missed him. Sob again. But, Cousin's wedding was gorgeous and my diet went straight out the 70 degrees-and-sunny window.
Chick-Fil-A? Check. Three times.
Whataburger? Check.
Stole Whataburger ketchup? Check.
Mexican Food? Check. Check.
Thanksgiving-Itschner-style? Check and check.
Ever so slightly thicker Texas accent upon return? Check.
Stay tuned for:

Oh, that food list looks amazing. Sigh. 13 days!
i made a new friend at our new church. her husband owns the local chick-fil-a in town. i may or may not have decided to be her friend based on that fact alone.
every night allie sleeps curled up next to my belly (or back, depending on what side i am laying). well, i caught a cold and coughed my dang head off every night. and she HATES when people cough. so, until i got better she slept under the bed. and, no lie, i MISSED her at night because her furry little body wasn't curled up next to me.
(yay!! you're back!!)
