Hello Sweet potatoes!

I am finally catching up after my weekend in New York/New Jersey. Life back with these crazy kids and their schedules--Yikes, it's a full time job! 3 swim meets just this week for the love of God! That along with basketball practice and games and then ballet--Zoinks!

Anyway, the highlight of the trip was meeting my wifey Lissie! What a beautiful person--inside and out. She has this incredible spirit and she literally lights up the room when she walks into it. Aw, heck, you guys all probably knew that already--she lights up the boards remotely so you can just imagine the voltage in person! Her big brown eyes have so much wisdom and kindness, it was great.

She and her beautiful cousin (who I loved immediately as well) took Augie and I out for Spanish food and it was delish! Augie sat through so much girlish yackity yacking and looked at us like we were crazy--it was so funny. But he loves Lis and Jen too and he juggled snow balls for them. They drove us around and we saw the NYC skyline from the Joisy side--very beautiful. I learned a new term which I will use hence forth: "Bust a U-ie." It was just so good to finally meet in person! I love you Lissie!

The show was, for me, a total bust. I sold one little thing. No biggie though--I look at it this way--I got to take my eldest to NYC to see his first Broadway show which was, as he said, "the best thing I've ever seen" (Young Frankenstein) and we had a fantabulous time together.

New guy and I continue to date and get to know each other but I'm not feeling the fireworks. He's nice, and a good companion, but I still feel that I need to keep my options open at this time in my life. We have not made any promises or commitments, just enjoying each other's company whenever our schedules will allow it.

I have so much work to do--lots of cool and exciting things happening this year so I need to get off my duff and start working!

I love you my darling peeps!
