I Have Better Updating Intentions Than Actualities
As another weekend comes to a close, I feel guilty for not updating. But I convince myself that no one reads anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

I got a phonecall from my sister yesterday, and it was really sweet. We spent the time figuring out who is buying what for our parents' Christmas gifts, but it was nice to hear her voice. And her two youngest both got on the phone to say goodnight, which always tugs the heartstrings.

I may have done this before, but they've changed obviously. You can give it a try too, and post the results in the comments. Just go through your browser (most of them auto-complete when you enter a letter) and put the first URL that comes up for each letter of the alphabet. (Skip the www, of course.)

Alrighty then.

Hans has been off on a musical retreat of sorts this weekend. I survived the first night alone in this house last night, but I can't wait for him to get back. And he comes bearing McDonalds... that's right, no cooking tonight!
