Crap...Sorry this is too weeks late.
I totally missed our 6 month anniversary of not posting to the blog! WooHoo....wait...this is a good anniversary right? Maybe it was a good thing that I forgot it.
Well, we're still too busy, but as of a week ago, we've been in a steep recession trend in our overall busy-ness index. I think we've lost 20-30% of our current value already, yikes! It's okay thought. Really, it is. We've got a good $100 mil TARP bailout coming in the form of my thesis defense, followed by a massive $4 trillion "omnibus" (I really thought that Hannity made that word up, the little jokester...then I found a dictionary. It turns out my vocabulary is just smaller than a pimple faced, voice-cracking, 9th grade delinquent) stimulus in the form of moving out of state. Of course this large stimulus is nothing more than a bundle of California field mice rolled up in one barrel (things like Rachel finding a job, finding a place to live, selling everything we own, finishing all the school projects, finding loans, etc). All these things are bound to put our busy-ness index back on track? RIGHT? Please tell me we'll be okay...that we'll be busy again...sooner rather than later? Good thing I've been putting every project possible on the backburner (aka food storage) just in case of an emergency like this one. I've got projects to sustain me through the NEXT busy-ness recession.
Well, I know times will be tough, but I think we'll make it through this recession. And who knows, maybe the "conservative underground" of busy-ness will throw enough "we'll die from socialism soon enough" at us that I'll be convinced to just be a free market hippie and go to the beach, or somewhere else nice, and relax. If Glenn Beck's War Room is any indication, things could get a lot worse...I could be forced to move to Hawaii and never be busy again (a busy-ness index of 0)....and get a tan!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (a la Stephen Colbert)
For those of you who can't hear my voice when I write this....I love dry sarcasm. :-)
I think we may acually begin posting here again....soon.
Hope all is well!
