I Am Mostly Alive

Listen.

I don’t know what I’ve been doing, really.

I mean, I’ve been working, and that has been a little more time consuming than it normally is. And I’ve been watching Man vs. Wild every night after supper with the little guy (I’ve also been covering my eyes on occasion, but that is mainly because I have issues with repetitive textures, and in the Ecuador episode there was this tree that was covered with hundreds of caterpillars that had lined up in rows along the trunk, but surprisingly I DID NOT IN FACT DIE when I briefly gazed upon said tree). I’ve been following Mississippi State baseball pretty closely, and I’m cranking up my obsess-o-meter for the SEC Baseball Tournament this week. I’ve also been trying to carve out more time to hang out with my real-life people. I feel like I’ve been in my head a lot lately, so it’s almost like I crave hearing other people’s stories so that I don’t walk in the bathroom and see my reflection and throw a rock at it.

Which, as I think we can all agree, is TOTALLY NORMAL.

Oh! And oh! I’ve also been listening to John Mayer’s new album over and over and over and over. It doesn’t come out until tomorrow, but it’s been streaming on iTunes for free, and I expect that iTunes will be sending me a bill for server usage. The album really is so good. And the John Mayer seems to grown up a little bit, too.

And that reminds me: a few days ago I was digging through our mail basket trying to find a form for A’s school that I, um, misplaced, and I found mailers addressed to a couple of folks who won a giveaway last month. I am so sorry. I completely forgot to put in them in the mail, but I’m doing that first thing tomorrow. I have no excuse except for the fact that the crackerjack staff here at BooMama, Inc. obviously dropped the ball.

In other words: I’m crazy.

So see? Wasn’t that just a terribly exciting update? I can’t imagine how (not-at-all) difficult it must have been to miss out on All The Boring.

But I’ve missed y’all!
