Well, the long awaited transition has been completed and it is good.

With the hated role of housewife left firmly behind I find myself at peace to a much greater degree than I would have imagined possible.

It seems that *real* life has resumed with the affair assuming the hazed blurry lined and indistinct responses of a horrible crisis that has happened in a far away country but impacted me nonetheless. I care, but not temendously..I am changed but not beyond what I can tolerate..the sun shines etc..etc.

I peek in for the first time and see many new faces and several familiar ones.

So hello MBers, I'll be catching up the next several weeks and I am strangely pleased to see you all again.

Hey Noodle, ditto for me. I've missed a fellow digger and delver here on MB. I've always enjoyed reading your thoughts and insights. Glad you're doing well. CV

Yay, Noodle finally back. You have certainly been missed. I had to take a double take when I saw your 'name'...thought maybe someone bumped an old thread.

I didn't really understand what's currently going on with you...last I recall your H was getting some sort of deployment...could just be my flawed memory, so will await your full update.

Noodle,

I haven't been here much either, but I kept looking for something recent from you.

It's great to see you update here...even a little bit. I hope you're happy.

Sorry, but I feel I must go against the grain here. I am not happy at all you are back. It was rather peaceful without you. Please reconsider your decision to come back here.

Thanks,

JUST kidding.....LOL. Welcome.
