Unchained Melody

A huge heartfelt thank you and many XOs to all my friends who responded to my last post. I knew I had people who care, I just didn't know quite how many. You all made me feel so loved and appreciated, and I can't tell you how much I needed that.

I also realized that I haven't been as faithful as I could've been over the past six months. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember to email, visit blogs, write notes, call, etc. It's not a new habit by any means, but there's no excuse for it. So I'm going to start trying to be more "in touch" with all of you over the coming days, weeks, months, even years. I don't want to lose you girls; you mean too much to me.

My nephew's wedding went off without any problems--amazingly enough for any large event involving more than two people. It was held at a small wedding chapel in the mountains; the setting was absolutely gorgeous, and the sun stayed out for them to have it outdoors. The rest of the day, however, seemed endless, as we spent most of it in the company of her family. All I'm gonna say is, the two extended families don't particularly mesh. But that doesn't matter. C and N are happy, and that is what matters.

My niece graduated from Tulane Law School on the 15th, so she's on her way to becoming a lawyer. She'll take the TN bar exam in July, but won't get the results back for several months. She wants to specialize in international law (or she did the last time we spoke about it). She also wants to have all her children in the next five years. Three of them, I think she said. Practice law, have kids, be a wife, move back to TN. I said, Good luck. She's gonna be busy.

SS! How are you, honey? I hardly ever talk to you anymore, do I? I'm so sorry. Seems I've been neglecting all my friends. Just like always, you've probably been really busy; you have that tendency. ;) I miss our evenings of reading by the bay window; our nights of enjoying the stars outside; being silly; being serious. You've always been there for me, baby, and for that I'm so thankful. Hope you're taking care of yourself. Talk to you soon.

I also hope everyone is enjoying the fiery-pits-of-Hell-quality heat that's been the bane of my existence lately. I can take 80s, but 90s have got to GO! Blarg.

And no, I can't swim. :P
