aaaaahhh...the atmosphere...

i'm in a creative rut and it doesn't feel too good. for more than two weeks i've been glued to my computer screen during my free time. that basically amounts to crap. all the energy that i've expended and the time i've spent is gone and i've gained nothing because my purposes amounted to nothing. i hate sounding so down-in-the-dumps and i know i probably shouldn't even be writing about this, but it's therapeutic for me to let it all out.

ok, so to reverse my mood, let me just say that this month is chockful (of nuts ;) and events. allan's brother, lee, is graduating from college with a job waiting for him (yay) and aidan-boy will be two years old soon and our much-missed family from Las Vegas will be staying with us for a while. i'll be busy with preparations for aidan's party and, after all this, allan and i have a list of movies we'd like to see. by the end of these festivities, i'll probably have a boatload of pictures to archive and scrapbook and hours of video to transfer to VHS. i should be out of my slump by then. sooner than that, i hope.
