I always love seeing posts about the buffistas babies.

My general non-postiness has much to do with a lack of a computer at home and my personal feeling that the nothing of my life is barely interesting to me much less anyone else.

hi all.

posting here to say hello to those that aren't around much.

I don't post much , but I read a bunch. too much facebook for personal and work -- I don't have much energy for thoughtful online posts .

Summary:

Life is good. it is Matt and me and Jonathan the Siamese.

Matt works too much - and does not play enough guitar. Which is interesting, because our last two vacations have been at least partly guitarcentric.

I love my work - wish it was part time and HATE some of things that are coming down from both the county and upper management. So for the first time in years I 've decided I should at least look around.

Healthwise - we both have decided that we need to do some things -- but we don't even know what that means exactly. First, I want to sleep better - and I'd like to be more fit over all.

I posting these things here - because I feel i haven't shared stuff with people I think if as my friends.

Kate totally post that stuff! I don't even have kids and I still enjoy hearing that kind of thing

Same!!!

beth! I served a guy the other week who thinks he might know you two - he's in the cafe all the time, he says. (He was wearing a shirt with your city name on it.)

ok

I might !

and I love baby and kid stories. and cat and dog stories.

I am so lurky everywhere these days. Except Twitter. I seem to spend a lot of time on Twitter. But I don't like using my phone to write posts of any length and I don't do any social media on my work machine. So.

Same-old, same-old. Underemployed and will be unemployed or at least out of this job at the end of November. Kiddo is in middle school. We got another cat last December. Whee?

Oh! It occurs to me that I do have a bit of a change from last year. Still living the same place, same roommate, occasional transient foster kittens, still single...but now my job is no travel and entirely work from home! So I've been...traveling for fun and working from friends houses for a few days or a week because "not traveling" made me stir crazy. So yeah...

'Sup.

Aims aka Aimee aka Starborn aka The Empress.

I'm in my third year of teaching at the same school, though this year the school has changed to an International Baccalaureate primary program so I'm going through all sorts of new and awesome training. The Buffistas are responsible for helping me finish my degree and graduating. I love teaching. This is my first year as a 2nd grade teacher - the previous two years I taught first grade. I use ita's tiara during my small group/assessment times. It's known as the Take It Elsewhere Tiara to my kids - I am not to be bothered when it's atop my pretty little head.

I'm 10 days away from being a divorcee.

My daughter, The Princess aka Em aka The Punk is a few weeks shy of being 12 and is in 7th grade, which is crazy. She has become my mini-me in looks and lack of coordination. She is totally amazing and I still can't believe I made her. She still sleeps with the OMGWTFPanda that B.org got her the day after she was born.

Life is. I'm trying to get used to it.

Hello all! Too many to say hello to everyone of you, but congrats Jars! Parenthood and esp babyhood are definitely worth celebrating!

Also worth celebrating is a year of sobriety, so congrats Strix! You deserve kudos

I am, well, in the same semi-dilapidated state I've been in for a few years now. Since 2013 & my sister's passing. I hope I make forward progress soon, but I guess I'll take forward progress ever and at all, if it comes.

It is so wonderful to see Jars and strix and Amy and Kate and Glamcookie and Aims and... and... I feel like I should have prefaced that with "Romper Bomper Stomper Boo..."
