Hi. Remember me? I pop up from behind my computer every few months, go have a few drinks with friends, then see my shadow and get scared and dive back into my hidey-hole.

Currently I'm:
- Building 2 client sites entirely in CSS (that's me, only about 3 years behind the curve!)
- Customizing a Wordpress theme and teaching the same client about blogging
- Designing a new logo, print collateral and website for another client (for whom I'll probably be ghostblogging)
- (Is ghostblogging even a word? It sounds like one of those stupid terms you heard people tossing around in South Park circa 1998...)
- Writing a proposal for a third client involving not web design but spreadsheets and pricing models and workflow diagrams (oh my!)

And last week I got to explain Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo Groups and Skype to my 78-year-old father.

I hate computers.

Everything else: pretty OK. I'm cooking a lot (made ginger-pear-squash soup last night) and exercising more (and watching Soul Train reruns while on the treadmill - Don Cornelius isn't nearly as silky-smooth as I'd remembered him). I finished the Accutane a few weeks ago and my skin is a lot better though it still needs work; in a few months I get to enter the exciting world of laser treatments and chemical peels. Saturday night [info]allartburns and I celebrated 8 years of holy-crap-that-'s-a-long-time-to-be-together. And I'm making plans for Frostburn (yes, yes, winter camping, we're nuts, move along now) and a possible party in the spring. I'm generally feeling pretty creative and happy.

Congrats on putting up with each other for so long! ;-) So you guys are going to do the Frostburn, eh? I imagine it'll be a lot of fun and I can't wait to see the pics.

Thanks! Frostburn (or "freezerburn", as we keep accidentally calling it) should be interesting. There's a surprisingly active burner crowd out here - this is the only regional burn within several hundred miles. (At least, it's the only regional burn being held *in winter* within several hundred miles. So, yeah, there you go.)

This weekend's project: taking a torch to the four 55-gal drums sitting in our driveway in order to make fancy-schmancy burn barrels. And rewiring the fire dress. And figuring out how to serve formal tea to a large crowd without exceeding our generator capacity and/or freezing off my girly parts.

Hi hi hi!

Why exactly did you explain Facebook to your father? I'm scared.

Um, because he asked? And I didn't have the heart to say "You're too old to understand that"?

Hell, even Rudy Guliani is on facebook.

If my dad signs up for facebook, though, I'm going to do the honorable thing and off myself right then and there.
