i not dead

A dear out-of-town friend used to tease me about how bad I am about staying in touch, particularly when I get swamped with work and other projects. She'd laughingly beg me to just at least send her a post card every couple of months, letting her know I was still alive. "It'll only take a minute," she'd point out. "Just three words will cover it: 'I not dead.'"

So consider this post my postcard to you.

I'll be back pretty soon, once things quiet back down. And I've got great stuff to share! Bob and I finally had an open house / house warming / house blessing celebration a couple weekends ago, and we'll soon have a complete Flickr slideshow to share of the before, during, and after of our renovation project, along with stories to share from the open house event itself. And, beyond that, I've still got photos for you from two cool modern house tours I attended, plus a bunch of other things I've stumbled across and been mulling over in the last few weeks. So hang in there, dear readers!

Meanwhile, we're in an interesting state, both luxuriating in our beautiful new house (and the feeling of being finally finished with thinking of the house as a project on our to-do list) and also frantically trying to get caught up on the work, etc., that we got behind on while getting the house ready to open up to all our friends and neighbors.

Just a little... bit... longer... though, and things will finally be back to normal. See you soon!
