    3.03.2004

    It's been a while since I updated! Been busy. :)

    It seems like spring is finally nearly here ... I was getting quite tired of snow and ice. Granted, it could show up again, but at least it's March! The weather has been gorgeous this week.

    Michael is now working full-time at State of the Art Tattooing in Winchester. I'm so happy for him — it's a wonderful shop, and it's keeping him very, very busy!

    Our division moved to a new building ... in Alexandria. Unfortunately this adds miles and time to my already-heinous commute. But this is supposed to be a somewhat long-term temporary situation; our company is supposed to consolidate into a single "campus" early next year, and from what I heard, it'll either be near where I was, or even a bit further west. So I'm going to stick it out and see what happens; I'm also working at home on Tuesdays, so that helps.
