So I've been quiet, I know this. I have actually been busy, with my own things which is kind of wonderful. I think I got so wrapped up in my sister's wedding that I forgot that I had a life of my own to be living. Fancy that, huh?

I could do a stream of consciousness right now, but that would just come out a little too telling for me to out in front of all of you, so instead I'll pick very few topics.
My dog Harley has grown about fifty pounds over the last month. That's an exaggeration, but he's massive now. And he still thinks that he's a lap-dog puppy ... not so much. I have bruises all over myself of him clawing his way to make himself comfortable while he stands on my spleen.
Swine Flu. The hype seems to be over, and I seem to be pig-disease free. I know you were all worried with my absence.
The retreat. I'm excited to actually be more involved this year. I knew all of three of my co-workers last time around, I think, so now I've been around for a year. Holy crap, a year. I must really like it here. I started last April, but that first month was such a blur, now I can actually sit back and realize what a year it's been. I don't know, I think I'll be sticking around, imagine that.

You guys here at Spent have all been ... oddly well behaved. I surely hope you aren't all just planning on staging a coup or something equally bad to test just how well I can do my job and keep my hair from falling out.
