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.

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.
