The Return of the Return

Hey Everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful start to spring. Michigan has been doing its regular weather thing - there are days when you want to have both the heat and the air on (but of course we wouldn't do that to the environment now, would we?).

Oh, and the cougar thing - no, not that kind of cougar - was up there because I kept getting all these "strong leader" thingies on quizzes - for those Joss Whedon fans, I was both Buffy and Mal - and actually, I guess all of that served me well in the past couple of months, but no, I'm not going to write about that.

Thanks for the well-wishes. All has been fine, just insanely busy. I'll catch you up later in terms of what I did on my spring vacay, so to speak.

In the meantime, I've missed all of you AND your blogs and I'm so looking forward to being BACK.

There are also all kinds of things to tell you about - book releases, experiments with my first ever blog freebie (POM Wonderful - and it's pretty wonderful, I gotta admit), changes in MI in terms of weather, living, politics and all that good stuff, why my Blessed meter hasn't been moving (but it's sure going to now), and cooking, cooking, cooking.

Life is good.

Hope yours is, too.

Life is good. Getting better, though, to see you around.

Jen said...

Thanks so much, Dru!

Thanks to you, too, Anno. And you know what I mean about the lovely MI spring, too. Heading out to Eastern Market in a few minutes. Yay!

Today in Minnesota it is bright, windy, and cold...typical of Spring in the Upper Mid-west. Welcome back!

Brittany | the Home Ground said...

Hi Jen! Welcome back! I've been taking breaks, too. I feel just the same, catching up and getting back into the habit of things on here. I hope to see you around more :) I was in your bit of town this morning at the market. Windy and chilly, but a very good morning!

Jen said...

Acedog, we're having that kind of day today.

Brittany, strangely enough, I was in your school neck of the woods at Eastern Market instead of my farmers market, but I wish I'd been in A2 - given that it was the day before flower day, mostly what they had were flowers, which were not what I was looking for, sadly.

It's good to read you again! Buffy, huh? I was Xander. I knew I wasn't as cool as you are!

peter said...

OMG I'm so relieved... I called all the hospitals... glad you're OK.

Anonymous said...

Glad you are back, kiddo! ;)

Leslie said...

So glad you're back! You were missed.

nyc/caribbean ragazza said...

yeah. glad you're back.

Jen said...

Jersey, you have no idea about my current obsession with Buffy - definitely going to be writing about it here - not the character, per se, but the series.

Awe, Peter, you shouldn't have. ;-)

Maryann, Leslie, NYC - It's so good to see so many people whom I've missed!

Mikaela said...

I've really missed your blogging mom. I'm glad to see you're back and I hope that's a sign of things getting less crazy? I'm also thinking I'd love that book!
I miss you!!!

Proud Italian Cook said...

Welcome back Jen!

Jen said...

Mikaela - yes, it's definitely a sign of that. I'll be happier after G'ma gets moved again, though! Hope things are calming down for you, too.

Proud - Thanks so much! It's good to be back!
