(You know, I should really come up with some kind of music sample up here.)

Well, alright....I guess I should start blogging again in my free time. I'm the one to blame since I find something to do all the time besides sit somewhere and relax. You know about the two funerals, what I got for Christmas, and the fact that we at dic can throw parties that boggle the mind. And yes the Falcons lost, so I'm not inclined to watch football during the weekend. It's time for basketball now. So, with all that in mind, where do I start?

1. I've been spending some time near the refrigerator. My favorites are Conecuh sausages and grilled cheeses.
2. I'm supposed to be taking a spinal tap bone marrow test to see if I still have any of the MAC disease present in my body. If it's still present, well, gone is the medication and in it's place....there are IVs...twice a day for at least a month.
3. I'll be taking 16 self training courses in the next 16 days to apply for employee certification.
4. I'll be taking 2 classes over the next two weeks.
5. I'll be in meetings every Thursday night to keep up with the HIV fellas in the community.
6. I have visitors from Newark coming through here in the next two weeks, while I plan for a Chicago bum rush before the end of January.
7. I've been in the middle of a musical overrun. Asking me what I listen to is like asking me what kind of air I breathe.
8. My television consists of: Will & Grace, Scrubs, E.R., Charmed, Oz, Boomtown, 24, and The Shield. I'm hoping to start watching Alias when everything starts going into rerun. There's only so much I can watch before I collapse.
9. I gotta be up to date with blogs. Sorry, too many things came up at once. At least I stay awake enough to be able to deal with more.

So what's been up with you?

Happy 2003! Well, I'm back... and thanks for all of the well wishes. You just don't know how much I appreciate those sentiments. There's so much stuff, but very little time, so I'll try to be brief.......

In December, I came, saw, and returned from the funeral of Iree Flavors, affectionately known as Big Mama. This became quite a shock, because my Mama had been basically her caretaker and had to make sure everything ran smoothly- not only the funeral- we're talking bills, insurance payments, viewing of the body, breakfasts, dinners, and apartment arrangements. Soon thereafter (Saturday, January 4th), the funeral of Aunt Shirley was held, bringing the year in quite anticlimactically.

Between the two times, however, there were a few things happening.

1. Music, music, music. Between Wendy & Lisa and my keyboard I have been quite taken and very happy with music these days. Perhaps I'll have some tracks by my 36th birthday.

2. New website. The Flavors Family wanted a new website...so of course, a website was created for all of us, with pics and calendars to come up soon. Can you guess who the webmaster is?

3. Pictures. Do I have pictures? Yes, I have pictures all over the place of the funeral weekend. I'll get to post those to the new website. However, I do have pics of the New Year! It seems that we were not alone during our celebration of the New Year. Check out the ones that J. has....mine will be posted soon.
