THE SPEED OF LIFE

after running around all day, i got ready to make my anna banana cake and discovered THREE errors i made in the typing of the recipe on the kitchen blog. fixed them. forgive me.

news re the jackal: he "graduated" from the program at his half-way house, and then advised us that he was gonna settle down there (at least for a while) in south florida. oooooooo-kayyyyyy. took me about 2 weeks to let it sink in and then i walked into our guest room last wednesday and my heart actually leapt at the thought that it would continue to be my lovely, clean guest room. and that my kid was really growing up! he is doing really fabulous, and is such a joy to talk to. he likes the store where he works (cough: shift manager girl friend). he's looking to pick up a small motorcycle -- i've actually calmed down about my baby on a mototcycle, too! he lives in an apartment with 2 roomates. so this is what it's like having an empty nest. as crazy as i am about my boys, i'm kinda digging this. i guess maybe i'm growing up, too.

So great to hear this good news about Jackson. The minute you said he reported in that he'd be staying my first thought was - girl friend! Anyway, lovely to hear that he is doing well. REALLY lovely. Good for him! Good for you!

And it gives me hope for tomorrow... If you know what I mean. (holds breath about there actually BEING an empty nest someday... as much as I adore my beautiful daughter...)

Empty nest?? I'm sticking my fingers in my ears...lalalalalala.... Big one flew the coop for the summer to go to college and I'm missing him terribly- I can't imagine EVERYBODY gone!

Great news about Jackson. I feel as long as they are happy it doesn't matter how far away they are.
