Charm, with a capital C
Forget your troubles, c'mon get happy...
This past weekend in Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires was bliss. From canoeing on the Connecticut River, to eating sushi at my friend's son's graduation party, to the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, MA, to lunch at the acclaimed Bottle of Bread, to Williamstown and all its colonial gorgeousness, and so on and so forth. But why tell you about it? I can show you.
Had enough pictures full of New England charm? No? See, I could be convinced to post some pictures of the house we're buying....

take THAT! Ya!
Tonight I'm...
...drinking a fab gewurtzraminer (Valkenberg Pflaz 2003 - yum!), eating raspberries and sharp cheddar from the farmer's market
...listening to the new itunes summer tunes mix my husband made for me (jane's addiction, jet, the verve, steel pulse, justin timberlake, ll cool j, nelly, outkast-pre-love below, lauryn hill, grandmaster flash... if you knock the summer mix, I get to kill you and eat your cold, dark heart)
...going to the Metropolitan Opera doing Samson and Delilah for the Summer Parks series at Brookdale Park about 5 minutes from my house
...planniing on driving to Massachusetts tomorrow to go to a graduation party for our friend's son and go canoeing
...loving my life
...oh-what-the-hell-let's-open-another-bottle-of-wine...
why?
because...
the mortgage is committed, the inspections are done, the sellers have accepted and we're CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE ON AUGUST 26th.
BOO-YAH!
If the news was any bigger, I'd have to tell you I was pregnant (I'm not... people--one thing at a time, mm-kay?)

Not so much blogging as posting pictures of myself all hot and sweaty
These are from a charity soccer tournament I played in on June 5th. We raised a whole lotta money for a foundation that provides mammograms to women without health insurance.

Wherein I sort of blog, sort of don't blog or something
When did this thing that I did to channel my need to write; this thing I did to document my life for myself and my family and friends; this thing I so loved... when did this blog just become another chore? Another thing I have to get done?
I don't know, but I've lost the joy for it. And that, my friends, is bad.
Some of you have sent emails asking if I'm alive -- I am. Things are progressing well. I am just busy, distracted, whatever. It doesn't matter. I refuse to blog because I feel like I owe my readers something. I think I may just need a break.
I have a lot of news and a lot of major developments afoot. I'll share them with you in due time. But now, right now, I need to stop feeling obligated and start wanting my outlet again. And I don't know when that time will come, but I know that it will.
So this is not good-bye. It's just a break. If you want to drop me an email, I will send you a notice when I start writing again. Otherwise, just check back here periodically.
I promise, I won't be long. Hell, I may just need the psycholgical boost from not feeling obligated to do this... I may be back next week. Either way, do come back.
