So, after a very long hiatus, I'm back on LJ. Still Facebooking like crazy, but I need a place with more easily accessed previous posts to share my thoughts and feelins. FB is great for the MOMENT, LJ is great forever.

What's been going on with me? Lots. Amy and Andy are in college. Sean graduated high school and is living in the next town over with our cousin, and has realized that he is trangendered. He's asked us to keep referring to him as a male until he begins therapy, which he needs a job to pay for. Everything in time. Ian is a senior this year, Evan a freshman, and Bonnie is engaged. That's the kids.

Sam is finishing up his dissertation and should graduate with his PhD in December, woohoo.

And me, I've begun painting again, and it's making me very happy indeed. I'm working with acrylics, and will make sure to post some stuff here. I've also recently had all of my teeth pulled and gotten dentures, something I've needed for at least 15 years. My friend Bill got tired of hearing me whine about pain and came forth with the funds needed to do this. What a great guy he is!

I'll be posting more. I always like comments, they make me know I'm not shouting down a well. :)
