i'm sorry for the lack of updates lately.

i'm trying to get everything ready for valerie's shower this weekend, and i'm super super busy at work. add the driveway to that (we're getting it paved)-- not that it requires any effort from me -- but i just feel like its thrown into the mix, and all of the nasty pollen that is taking over my life, and i'm just overwhelmed.

additionally, i have a monster series of cold sores/fever blisters that are eating my face. i guess its from the sun this weekend. i'll probably have to move into a cave and only go outside when its dark. its great when people come into my office to order something -- they sort of stare, like, does she have LEPROSY.?! and i want to say, no, just MOUTH HERPES. thanks for asking.
