I've Been Neglectful . . .

The last few weeks have been rather chaotic for a series of reasons, but I just wanted to let you know I haven't completely abandoned you!

Just a quick re-cap of what's been going on:

• First, and foremost, the 48-hour Film Festival was a blast! We successfully entered our movie on schedule and got to view it (and other short films from the competition) on Thursday night at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Springs, along with a group of other filmmakers. The good news is that everyone laughed when they were supposed to. And there really isn't any bad news . . . except for maybe my acting. Let's just suffice it to say that drama queen doesn't necessarily translate into screen queen! I plan to tell you more about the competition later, so stay tuned for details!
• Ship, his brother, and one of their friends competed in an adventure race a few weeks ago and took third place. And yes, there were more than three teams (far more)! It was their first race of the season. Unfortunately, it rained cats and dogs and was pretty chilly, but that didn't seem to phase the "Squirrels Gone Wild!" Congrats, guys!
• C-Reg competed in her first half-marathon last weekend and came in second. This is especially impressive given the fact that this was a TRAIL run, not a street race! Good job, C-Reg!
• Jo, C-Reg, and Smelly the Wonder Dog all had birthdays this weekend. Needless to say, it was an entertaining weekend which started on Thursday! Jo is 26, C-Reg is 24, and Smelly turned 3 (or 21 in dog years). And no, Smelly didn't get any beer for the special occasion, but she did get a new dog bed.

Anyway, this is a brief recap of a few of the things that have been going on lately. I hope to be able to post more regularly in the coming weeks. I've been so swamped that I haven't even had time to keep up with my gossip!
