The Legion, otherwise known as Keeping the voices at bay....

It's been awhile since I updated. And there's so much to say. Lately there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day for everything I need/want to do. I'd love to say that everything that's going on is wonderful and interesting. But that would be a lie. It's only wonderful and interesting to me.

Of course, it is my diary so whether I think you'll feel the same way shouldn't really matter. And for the most part, it doesn't. I've given up hope that my little corner of DLand will ever be as popular as some of the gifted people I read daily. I never really cared about that when I first started my diary anyway. It was a way to vent some of the creativity boiling in my brain. A pressure valve, I guess.

And I'm glad that there are some people who saw fit to read my thoughts and to respond to some of my madness. I'm thrilled that I've met so many gifted and interesting people since coming here. I've loved getting to know one or two of them a lot better than I did just from my daily readings. I've made some good friends here. And despite some of the drama I've been witness, and party [at times], to, I wouldn't want to lose it all just because I haven't had time for it all.

I'm not leaving DLand, despite what this sounds like. And I'm not locking up. But there will be changes.

Oh sure, I've said that before. I had planned on changes to the layout and the content ages ago.

I doubt I'll have the time or energy to update more than once a week, or two weeks. And I doubt I'll ever get around to changing the layout completely. But I am going to remove most of the little things that I don't have time for anymore. Hugs page: gone, Slaps too, Booklist and Reviews: gone, Daily Reads: gone. And that's just for starters.

I haven't really decided whether or not I'm going to purge my archives. I've thought about it. It's not like I don't have backups of every entry. I think I'll leave them all for the time being. I am going to re-archive everything though.

And now since I've probably alienated everyone who bothers to read me anymore, I'll update you on what you've missed.

On February 13th I found out that I'm pregnant. Since then I have been spending most of my time hunting down doctors, sleeping, reading up on things I need to know about, letting everyone know, waiting in my doctor's office, waiting at the hospital for bloodwork and sleeping some more. Everyone has been really great. My family is very supportive and my friend's are all very happy. Everyone at work has been wonderful, surprisingly.

The weather has been up and down, along with my moods. We got two more snowstorms since my last update, neither as bad. We've also gotten a fair amount of rain, some of it freezing.

I found out that we're getting checks next month for our gas rebates. And that our gaming checks have been increased. Both of which I can really use considering.

The new gaming building is almost done. It's supposed to open within the month. Everyone who's been inside says it's beautiful. I can't wait to see it for myself. But what I'm really looking forward to is the new Trade and Commerce building. It's absolutely gorgeous. But still not completed. They claim it will be done for June, but somehow I think my baby will be here before it's done.

I'm writing again. Sort of. I finally broke down and am trying my hand at fanfiction, sort of. The piece I'm writing is based on some of the characters of one of my favorite book series, and it does take place in the same locations, but it's an entirely original idea and the main characters will be my own. I have no idea if it's any good or not. And I may post pieces of it in the future to see what everyone here thinks of it. I haven't decided yet. This whole fanfic thing is new to me, at least this side of things.

See, you didn't really miss much.

I will try to update after my OB appointment on Monday.
