So, I'm a Jackass...

As you can see I have not achieved my goal of posting here once a day. I haven't even posted an item every other day. My apologies. I have been pretty busy since I last posted here. Have I been busy with important things? No, not quite. I've actually been quite lazy, but laziness takes up a lot of my time. So, what exactly have I been doing these last three weeks? Well, a few days after the most recent post I went back to Houston and then I hopped on a plane and flew to Seattle with my family. I spent a few days there and then my other sister flew in from Los Angeles and the whole family drove to Portland. After a few days in Portland my L.A. sister flew to New York to do a week of press for her new company. You may have heard of it. It's called Moody Mamas and she is teaming up with the most recent Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano, to create a line of fashionable maternity wear. Look for it in a store near you in 2009. OK, that's enough plugging for now. So, after my L.A. sister went to New York I spent some more time in Portland with the rest of my family and returned to Houston on the 15th. Later that evening I went with my Houston sister and my good friend Jessica to a Dave Matthews Band show in The Woodlands, TX. The show was great as usual. It was full of energy and had some good Davespeak (look it up: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=davespeak). It's unfortunate that I didn't get to see Leroi Moore perform at what would have been one of his last shows ever, but Jeff Coffin was a good replacement. Leroi will be missed. Fortunately though, I was able to see him nine other times over the decade so I can cherish those performances. Since the show, I've pretty much hung around my parent's house. I've not done much of anything really. I have spent a lot of time on the Internet (and yes, I know that I could have been blogging). I've played with my dog Oliver, and took him on some nice long walks. I have tried to manage my ever-growing stack of comics, but I haven't had much success. I reconnected with an old (relatively) friend through the magic of facebook IM. I also discovered text messaging on my phone. I knew that it existed, but I had never used it before. So far the novelty has not worn off, but I have to slow down or I'll use all of my texts before the billing month is over. I'm sorry that this is not the most interesting entry, but I just wanted to get everyone up to speed. I will try to post things here more frequently. Hopefully my future entries will be more interesting. As always, please leave your comments below.

Thanks. Although you should remember where you place it in case you need to use it in the future.

Yay for MoodyMamas! I need to get preggers fast so that I can take advantage!

Um, how does one respond to this?

That's a shame, you were in Seattle and we didn't get to meet. Then again neither of us is particularly organized.

Also I may know a separate community that may have interest in the whole moody mamas thing, but I'm not going to say much about that, although if you don't mind I'll be linking it in a few places.
