back from mars, neptune, or maybe even uranius

back from mars, neptune, or maybe even uranius flowersdirtandgardengirl: So yeah. I feel like I fell off the planet there for a bit. Seriously. I knew I was addicted to ojar and all. I knew that even missing 24 hours of board activities often times can render you about as informed as Paris Hilton pretty much anything other than baby chiahuahua's and handbags. But still. Try taking almost two weeks off. You end up feeling like an inveterate idiot.

So, that being said, I hope all is well with you crazy people. I don't even have the time to look back and do my homework and read the last two months of posts (and that's sticking to the premiums even). By the looks of it though, at the very least Smiley's Birthday appears to have been a roaring success.

Right now I am in chilly NYC interviewing for two schools at two different but equally huge and urban and kinda frightening hospitals (can you say hookers and drug users and patients that bite but aren't of the canine persausion, much like I am used to). One is in Brooklyn, the other in Manhattan. I had less than a week to prepare and it was only the grace of god and a great deal of begging that it worked out for me to have both interviews in during the same week. Otherwise I would have had to make the bi-coastal, transameric, rather pricey trip twice. Hurray for ingratiating yourself to the powers that be.

I have two more interviews back in CA when I come home. I have no idea where I will go. I may not be given a choice. I may only get into one school. I might get into all four. I might get into none. I might just end up one of those hookers and/or drug users and force my way into these hospitals one way or another.

I am busy as hell and at once miss my ojar filled days but see that I am quickly ascending to the ranks of those who leave (perhaps only to come back weeks, months, years later).  I met this amazing guy. It's totally nuts. Not only do I have a hard time believing 1) that he exists 2) that I met him 3) that he's not a serial killer, pathological liar (at least, we hope) or unemployed but more importantly 4) that I am and have and probably will continue to fall in love with him despite everything it seems like I've been through in the last six months. It is so strange for me to realize that you really do move on, you really do meet someone new, you really do love again. God, I sound like a f-cking Hallmark card. Sorry about that. So that's a bit weird for me to swallow on some days but he really seems worth it so I'll do my best to keep it up. Because I'm pretty f-ing sure he feels the same way. So there you go. Score one for gg with her PhD (in genetics) positive, Human Genome Project positive, dog positive, job positive, size and stamina positive, sweet as hell positive and distracting good looking categorical boyfriend. Oh my god. I have a boyfriend. I have a boyfriend?!

Anyway, I hope you are all well. I'll try to resurface every now and then and catch up on the veritable Days Of Our Ojars with you all. I'll be a round a little bit while I am in NYC but once I get back to CA it's pretty much all boy and work and school and running and dogs and long baths and not so much ojar. Sadly (and goodly) not so much ojar. Until then but hopefully sooner....

love,
gg
