Four score and seven years ago, I updated my blog. Needless to say, I’ve been busy. Over the last couple of months my little word has been rocked so hard that I actually landed on another planet: Celina, Ohio. Yup, I traded in palm trees for corn fields.

| yes, that's a tractor. |
The Mister got a job transfer back to the Buckeye state, so we loaded up the ‘Ru and hit the road. As much as I was hoping our little road trip would be something like an episode of The Partridge Family, all happily singing in our tour bus, I was better prepared for scenes from National Lampoon’s, what with a 13 month old, 2 dogs, & a husband who drives like your grandfather. To my amazement the trip went rather smoothly, thanks to my investment of a portable dvd player & a $2 Disney Sing-a-Long dvd. The only downside to this purchase, however, is that I have had a song about a cat named Cleo stuck in my head for the better part of two weeks now. Occupational hazard I suppose.

Because the move was so sudden & my husband needed to start work immediately, we didn’t have time to find housing. Cue the in-laws. They were gracious enough to offer us a place to stay during this in-between phase, so we moved to Celina. Right about now you’re thinking, “Where???” It’s located in the northwestern part of Ohio (for those of you who can successfully point to Ohio on a map) and has a population count lower than my cholesterol. Everyone drives a pickup truck and seems to think I will respond to the words “Heeeeey Cutie!” as they hang out of their windows while shirtless.
I am trying to keep myself busy, but that can be quite a challenge in such a small town where the scent of cow pies permeates the air. Over the last several days I have made numerous trips to Wal-Mart & have even started training for my first 5k, and you know if it involves exercise I must be pretty desperate. I even found myself “downtown” yesterday, meandering around a tattoo shop, toying with the idea of getting some new work in honor of my son. Speaking of my son, he is adjusting quite well to his new environment. He has taken up such hobbies as food-throwing & rock-eating. Such a precious child.
Anyways, just wanted to let the cyber world know of my whereabouts... I'm sure you were all rather concerned. On that note, it's time to go cow tipping.
