Return of the Qait-I

I feel like I disappeared from the blogosphere! It was sad! And I have mountains of stories stuffed in my sleeves; I wrote blog entries in my mind while I washed dishes, moved furniture, dealt with maniacal managing duties, and suffered two-second bouts of crying.
Michael went on a jazz tour for two weeks (during our anniversary, too). He left the day after we moved into this apartment and the day before the family left for their week-long vacation.
Me... stranded...
Oh, just kidding. I felt like a champion for getting through it all. And still humbled because my mother and my sister Rae do this all the time!
Bluhhhh. It's done! Life is getting a little more put together, and so am I! Eventually you'll see that hitting my blog. Yay!
