A Twist of Things to Come

I mean, of course I have a life, and not just within the parameters of clinical definition. I am living, and I have a family. I've done lots of stuff for my family, including moving to a new city where i pretty much didn't know anybody. I've had a great time exploring said city with the family, but I didn't have what I would call a social life. Due to the hubby's job, we got invited to a lot of parties, but that's not the same thing.

Then last night, the kids and I got invited on an outing that would conflict with out regularly scheduled Homeschooling group activities today. I consulted with the family, and we made our choice. Then I had to call three other families -- one to confirm our plans and two others to let them know that the boys would be missing the activity scheduled for today. I needed to let them know because I suspected one boy would be sorely disappointed and wanted to schedule a make-up activity, and another call because I had told another mom I would be there, and since her son (who gets on so well with Wee Boy) has Asperger's, I KNEW advanced notice for a no-show would make her life a LOT easier.

So, for the first time since I've been here, a change in my plans required more than one phone call and a chat with the Family Unit.

I... I think I have... friends? At the very least, a social circle. How did THAT happen?

Writing continues. I feel it beset with suck, but I'm getting close to the good part now.



Overall:

Today on GC, we have more form our Honorary Chica, Jesse, who works the Comic Book Movie beat. Goyer to Write Superman Reboot is evidently very good news. I had no idea, probably because I am lame. ;)

In other news, narniadear got re-tweeted by Neil Gaiman yesterday. I realize, perhaps, that it is further evidence of my lameness that I thought that was so cool, but it IS. ;) My sister called just after, and it was all I could do not to go on about it. I had this imaginary conversation in my head, which helped curb my enthusiasm.

Me: One of my friends who writes for GC got re-tweeted by Neil Gaiman!

Very educated but un-net savvy sister: Your who did what with who, now?

Me: Nevermind.
