Inspired by Beck to blog about nothing....

I have been thinking for some time that I should put a new post on the blog, but I had nothing really to blog about. Thanks Becky, for inspiring me. After thinking about the nothing I have to post about, I discovered that I actually do have a few things to talk about.

I went to school for three weeks, only being home on the weekends. After that I was home for three days before I left to go to the Wilson-McCumber reunion, which kept me away from home for another three days and two nights. My husband is thrilled with the possibility that I may stay home and cook or do laundry for more than a couple of days in a row. I am thrilled, as well. SO glad to be home. Turns out I really like it here.....

In two weeks I am taking Andie to a naturopath who specializes in nutrition. We have very high hopes that she will be able to get her on a good eating plan that will keep her UC in remission. As for now, she is doing alright. The symptoms come and go, and we are trying to discover which foods help and which ones hurt. It's quite a process, but she's been a trooper. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

It was great to see you other McCumbers at the reunion. We really need to see each other more often. Too much time goes by between our opportunities to get together. Thanks for coming out and hanging with us! (You too, Jan, even though I am still being called Benedict Arnold....)

College Kid

For those of you who don't know, I am in LG for three weeks this summer. I am renting a house, and living alone. Gotta tell ya, I was kinda scared about moving into this neighborhood. The first week wasn't great. A lot of things to get used to. This week, things are looking up. I could really enjoy just being responsible for myself, if it wasn't for the homework.... I also think it's good for ALK and D to fend for themselves a bit. They truly don't starve to death or run out of clothes to wear when I am gone. They suddenly become more capable of taking care of themselves when I am gone. I need to figure out how to make them stay like this even after school is over. :) The words "never gonna happen" come to mind..........

Thought of some music trivia for your viewing pleasure:
