Oops! I have a life. ;)

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:

More Movie gossip

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.
