I find it very strange to sign emails 'Mommy'. I've been a mother for almost 12 years now but Tatum has only recently gotten an email address, and even more recently need to use it. Its a very weird disconnect to sign Mommy yet a perfectly natural feeling to sign 'Slay' even though neither are my actual given name.

Maybe I generally feel more Slay than Mommy. Not that I'm knocking Mommy.

So, yes, I was here. I'm not sure why I haven't blogged about being in India yet, except for the same reason I haven't written about anything much lately -- there is drama in my life, it makes me tired and crabby, and I tend to find that blogging in general takes up more energy than it should, and energy that I don't have.

Run on sentence, I embrace you.

I am fairly impressed with the quality of the photos I took in India. I anticipated they'd be good because of the light quality in the desert, but I'm still pretty happy. Especially considering all we had was a cheap little point and shoot I got the Boy for his research.

So India reflections are still on deck. The Boy and the Boo are still in the far away land with a month to go before they get back. Having gone and returned makes me miss them more acutely; before, it was an easy matter to compartmentalize missing them, because there was just so much time in which to miss them. And now that they're almost home, I feel like they can't get here fast enough.

I just saw this on the digital ferret account:

"Speaking of cool, don't forget our upcoming Smiths tribute night at Nocturne on July 22nd. More details to come."

Oh, come on, people. Who is going with me? Cooooooommmmmmeeee ooooooooooon. I totally want to go and be nerdy. And don't say that you have nothing to wear, because Morrissey said it first, and said it best.

What's your favorite thing to show out-of-town guests when they come to visit?

I like taking them down Lincoln Drive, because I just love that stretch of road. The trees, the river, the old homes -- I've always found it incredibly romantic. Guests often get a visit to the art museum and a look at Kelly Drive at night, and since they're often my friends, they usually want to see the famous South Street.

I almost never take anyone to do any of the historical touristy stuff, but that's not intentional. It just never seems to happen.
