heh. been awhile. perhaps not so much in days, but in sentiment. life's much better now. its still the same ol', same ol', but i'm learning to look towards the little things and not freak out so much over the big. plus i've been around people who are not my birth parents (i would say "family" but that wouldn't quite fit).

the Languths came, minus Raffie and plus Frank, my sis' new boyfriend. Dinner was amazing over here. Well more like lunch-dinner, cuz we prepared both meals and then forgot that they were off shopping at the new outlets~ Still it rounded out to be a 4-5 course meal. Not bad, and i think they were astonished/overwhelmed at the amount of food. Why must their visits always be so short? Yet I'm seeing them more often, 3x this year so far and in all probable locations: East Coast, Germany, West Coast. But still, each visit never long enough. I guess thats a sign of being family.

In other news, I'm off to Russia for a month. This was the year I wanted to sneek a peek behind what use to be the old iron curtain, and here I am going to the "mother" of it all (the whole communism/post-communism thing, that is). With a little bit of luck, i'll also get a couple hours in Germany to shop. :)

I've chucked all riding aspirations for this summer out and I am a much better rider (or at least a happier, less stressed rider) because of it. Dance happens when I choose to turn on the music.

Cheers.
