:: So It Is Written... ::

yeah, I know I don't write quite as much anymore as I used to, but hey, life is funny like that. I'm getting close to finishing one degree (graduate in May, actually), and my research is picking up. That makes me sound real busy, but there's a lot more to my life than just school. I'm working on a bunch of business ideas, and I'm in Phase 1 of a project that could actually solve my debt problems. I'm really excited about it, but I don't want to jinx it just yet. There's 4 phases, and if it actually works, I'll be telling everyone about it, don't worry. If it fails, well... that would suck... a lot.

Important news from my life (you know, for the two of you who still read this...):

My grandmother passed away last Thursday. It was a tough time for the family. My dad's side of the family has been matriarchal for a while, with Grandma at the head of the family. We have had Christmas Eve at her house since before I can remember. She used to spend days (literally) fixing food for Christmas Eve dinner, and your status in the family was reflected by which table you were allowed to eat at. Sadly enough, I think I only got to enjoy one year at the adult table. In recent years, the food was switched to store bought as Grandma's health faded, and last year for the first time ever, we didn't go to Grandma's on Christmas Eve. That side of my family is so diverse, and I only got to see everyone really on Christmas Eve. It makes me wonder what's going to happen to the family now that Grandma is gone. I really don't see my oldest Aunt taking over the family. She's kinda too wrapped up in her own business. I kinda have a feeling that that side of the family is going to go the way of every other family in America these days. Just get split up and out of touch. sad...

Anyway, I really have to go to bed, but I have a lot I'd like to write about... perhaps later. My next post should be educational, so don't miss that one... I learned an interesting fact about hippopotomi that I would like to share :)
