Here I am

So I hate Xanga, but just don’t have the time to set up a blog on my own domain right now, so I’m going to try Blogger. I hate that I don’t have time to make everything *exactly* the way I want it, but I guess I’ll get over it – or make the time eventually.

I’m having a pretty good summer so far – it would be far better if I could spend more of it poolside. We’re headed to Virginia Beach at the end of the month and I am absolutely out of my mind with excitement about that.

The kids have been having a great time at camp. They’re going to a Christian farm camp and it has been one of the best things we’ve ever done for them. This camp was a little more expensive than we’re used to paying, but it was worth every penny. I’m sad for them that it’s winding down and school will be starting in a month. This week is the last week there for Connor; next week he’s going to a Rock ‘N Roll Boot Camp thing which he’s excited about.

Work has been crazy busy. Just totally insane. I like the busyness, though, it’s good for me and I’m playing an integral role in a major product roll-out which feels nice. I’m still busy with program stuff, too – I celebrated 3 years of abstinence from compulsive overeating and sobriety in April. And I’m still losing weight – just a lot slower these days – I’m down a total of 106 pounds. Amazing. In a lot of ways I can’t believe I was ever that big. It just doesn’t even feel like I am that person. I guess I am no longer that same person, which is a good thing.

Okay, I think I’m going to go watch Stuart Saves His Family. I just finished reading the book, which cracked me up, and I’m told the movie is just as funny.
