Yes, I know, it has been awhile.

I have not posted in a week.

*sigh*

Let's not get started with that too busy business. Everybody is busy, aren't they?

Well, I did go to DC for the weekend. I spent time with my cousins which was great. That is my baby cousin, Jules.  He's pretty cute, isn't he?

That's me with his mama and his daddy - Paula and James. Yes - they're pretty darn cute too, aren't they?

That is baby Jules uncle Josh. He lives in Israel but is doing an internship on K Street.

And yes, that is Jules once again, this time with his grandmother Stephanie. Why do I not have any photos of his grandpa, Jeff?  Oy.

I also got to see famed blogger and all around fabulous CDP of Parenthetical. We had lunch together, which was both yummy and fun.

(I love BAC from Yikes. She is so much fun and so smart. Her head is kind of round. And blue. And has letters on it. I still love her though! And YES - I am making some left handed socialist pledge of allegiance, can't you tell!?!)

Then it was off to the big AU blogger meet up. Somehow none of my photos from this event came out well enough to post. Lots of bloggers were there including BAC - who works for AU, Alicia Morgan from Last Left Turn Before Hooterville, Dr. Zaius - who looks just like he does on his blog! Positively apey! Sue J from Nailing Jello to the Wall was there too. I am stealing a photo from his blog to show you. He thinks that I am "pestilence" anyway, so why not just tick him off further. Patriot Boy was there with Mrs. Patriot Boy, who was delightful. Also Ed Brayton - he blogs at Dispatches from the Culture Wars was present.

(That's Dr Z with Sue J. I think that he did something with her head and then photoshopped into this picture!!)

Alica, Ed, Patriot Boy - they all went over to the Tea Party thangs - check out their posts. Ed even got his photo taken with Bachmann. For real! Go see -  it is all right here if you click and then page down!  Alicia has some great posts on all the nonsense going on too.

What a fine weekend it was!  I will be back... eventually!
