For the past umpty-ump years, I have been hiding in my house. I was morose. Depressed. I pooped out at parties. I hid. I thought I wanted to hide. Months would pass before I did anything unusual or out of the ordinary.
In the past month, I have:
- Been up to Skylands (state garden of NJ. Sad little place.)
- Seen Skylands recreational area. Very nice.
- Tried kayaking.
- Realized I would not be uber sucessful at kayaking unless I was in better physical condition, so I joined a gym. And I'm going to it.
- Joined an organization that encourages people in public speaking. On my first night as a member, I got up and gave an impromptu speech and was voted 'best speaker' for the impromptu speeches that night.
- Joined another organization for analyst wallahs and went to the meeting.
- Went to the singing in West Nowhere, PA.
- Went to see "Iron Man", "Prince Caspian" and "Kung Fu Panda."
No wonder my house is a complete mess and the cats are beginning to ignore me. (Oh, her? She's never here. Ignore her.)
A lot of things happened. Most of them have been so quickly internalized that I don't even really remember what happened. But something happened. So far, it seems to be for the good.
And my birthday is here. This is the wonderful gift I get every year in Jersey - the week of my birthday, the fireflies appear. I saw my first ones tonight.

1) Happy Birthday!
2) Love fireflies. One of the highlights of Jammiesfest is sitting in her vast yard watching for fireflies.
3) Sounds like you are over some mountains, lady. Hurray for you. Keep it up. You're doing great!
Happy Birthday! We don't have fireflies yet, but we're a few days behind you.
Happy birthday. The lightening bugs, as we Hoosiers call them, have been out a few weeks. We have one in the house, it rode in on the dog's back and flew off before I could catch it.
Happy birthday! We've had lightin' bugs for about a month now, but were farther south and probably a heck of a lot hotter than your neck of the woods. My favorite time of year is when the June bugs come out, right before my sister's birthday... they're so beautiful!
