Haven't been writing much on here but that's not for lack of sufficient stuff. I have my reasons.

In regular news: we now have a zoo at this house- Weasel the ferret, Gigi the cat, Tom the cat, Fry the dog, and Jester the rabbit. Micah found Jester on the way home from school one day. Steve has taken to the rabbit and built him a cage. This is a pet-type rabbit, not one of those wild ones. Very tame. Micah tried to find the owner but no one claimed Jester. So he became Jester to us and he's very tame and soft and pretty. White and gray/brown and already potty-trained.

Micah's been making way cool projects in his metals art class. He is currently sort of fluctuating between 2 girls- Chichi and Hallie. But being honest with them, too. He told Chichi he thought he wasn't being a very good boyfriend to her because they don't see each other much. Hallie is a couple of years older than he is and seemed to like him more than he liked her and were going to have a date at Wendy's but just ended up taking a walk. But I guess the volume of interaction that takes place in relationships these days is not in person or even on the phone but just texting. Text text text....what r u dng....brb....pos....wazzup....hi babe....jst chllng....lv u....hearts....cu l8r....how m boyz...woot.... (OK, woot is sooooo 2006). Oh, and I just found out today what a lam party is. You know, dating years ago was on some levels more interesting. We had to take actual turns on video games rather than hooking up computers. We actually kissed on the couch instead of texting "xoxoxo"........but I'm not going to complain.
