Things I haven't blogged about:

• One nephew's birthday (the one that closed the door on teenagehood for him)
• One niece's trip to the other side of the world (well, I am still waiting for all the details and pictures from her because she's actually still there)
• Spring on the Seacoast, the opening of the windows, and the omnipresent scent of blooming
• My search for a new job, and the dragged out investment pertaining to it
• How the ball of the pull chain on my banker's lamp sits everso lightly on one cat's head while she sleeps on my desk
• Some cool new software I got after a visit to the Children's Museum
• My recent fascination with making stewed tomatoes from scratch (and, of course, the recipe)
• My father's inquisitioning (an ongoing process, and enjoyable for me)
• My shrinking mother (not what you might think)
• The beautiful moon the last couple nights
• The music I'm listening to these days (now that I've weaned myself off Michael Buble -- at least temporarily)
• The Manchester Wolves
• Another nephew's trifecta of accomplishments
• Another niece's ivy league frustration
• The travails of being a small business owner
• How much I love my family (actually, I have blogged about that; just not lately)
• American Idol (not once this season, and neither have I voted at all)
• A new size acceptance rant (tentatively titled "BMI is a Crock," sprinkled with screen captures of click ads from everywhere, and started before BFB posted this one yesterday)
• Top Gear (my new favorite TV show), and a bit of a crush on Richard Hammond especially now that I know about the crash
• Playing Scrabulous, Scramble, and Who Has the Biggest Brain on Facebook
• The sucky suckingness of having rheumatoid arthritis at the tender young age of 42
• Our new across-the-hall neighbors and renovation in the now-vacant apartment above us, and the consequent activity, noise, aromas, and dust that accompany them
• My plan to make billions of dollars from an old family recipe (maybe I don't need a new job after all)
• Another cat's insane obsession with SmartFood
• The fourth cat's obsession with the third cat (he just thinks she's so pretty and he always wants to play, but I sense she finds him a bit cloying)
• A love of This American Life, which I used to listen to on the radio and now I listen to on my iPod, and the near-desire to spend money on additional cable channels that would allow me to watch the show version
• Other stuff

Someday, I'll blog again.
