Is it wishful thinking to think that changing my template will make me want to post more blogs? One can hope.

Jeez, so much has changed since my last post I don’t know if it’s even worth trying to go back and do a year in review. Who cares, right? Let’s go forward instead.

This week has been the week of old friends on Facebook. It’s so neat to hear from people that I’ve lost touch with over the years, and strangely titillating to browse through their photos and catch up on what I’ve been missing.

My best friend from 10 years ago, for instance, just friended me tonight. I went to look at her profile, and lo and behold she’s got two absolutely adorable daughters and is still married to the same guy. I feel totally guilty that I missed all of that – she was there for me when The Kid was born and I totally flaked out on her. It’s sad to miss stuff like that, because when I feel cut off from everyone and lonely, sometimes I have no one to blame but myself.

Other than connecting with Facebook friends and attempting my frist blog in a year, I’m planning a trip to LA on Wednesday, coming back Thursday. These short trips are exhausting! This one should be good though, I’m taking the team out for a happy hour that I had to flake on last time I was there. I’m sure they will extract their vengeance in alcohol measured by the liter, so I guess I can’t feel too bad.

All in all, I’m feeling pretty good. Relaxed, calm, confident. It’s nice.
