4 Months in 1 Post?

I think not. How to summarize all that's gone on since I last posted in June? I'll hit the high points here and then follow up with more details in upcoming posts. (As if anyone is still interested after my looong hiatus).

First things first: I've been an absentee blogger since, what, June?? Sheesh. But it's not all my fault! I *did* go on my planned backpack trip in early July, but that only took me away for a week. So, what gives? Well, first I had connection problems; my free wi-fi was down for awhile, then up, then down. In the meantime, I had computer problems. Terminal computer problems. With no funds to fix it. But once again, I am back and rarin' to go. So quit yer bitchin'! (Seriously, though, thanks to you few peeps still hanging around, asking where I wandered off to, and inquiring about my health/happiness/safety/alive-ness. You know who you are. It was appreciated.)

Second, but in many ways more importantly, I am now an engaged person! Yeppers, Velma, she is gettin' hitched. To uber-sweetie Cole, of course, who else? The festivities will be going down summer '08 -- more to come on that later. For now, just let the congrats start rollin' in. We're all happy here at Casa Colorbomb. (That's a picture of the post-proposal afterglow there you're a-lookin' at, btw).
