Headed SOUTH!

Just a quick update on what's going on with me...

I have a new beau and have fallen very much in LOVE... his name is Steve and he is absolutely awesome even if I do say so myself :) Here is a pic... I know yess he is a hottie!! Ha ha



Well he got a great job offer in the Charlotte area and so we are moving down south. I do not have a job just yet but the market down there is very good. I think I'll stick with boating since I have really enjoyed it and am doing very well. The kids are very excited about the move. We have rented a beautiful townhouse in Lake Wylie, SC- just over the border- excellent neighborhood and THE BEST schools in the state. I am very much looking forward to the move... packing sucks but it is worth it :0) Anyway, my new email is julia.colleen@yahoo.com. Please email me for my new address and cell number. I miss everybody and I'm really excited about the location... 4 hours from Atlanta, 4 from Savannah and Tybee!, close to Lee & Dottie.... okay guys gotta go- LOVE YOU ALL

Reunion Photos

Maybe it's a good thing it took me so long to post these reunion pix. They sure do bring back some great memories. I'm not sure how many to post here, though. I think I'll do a few every once in a while, so there will be new pix for people frequently. I can send them all to anybody who wants. Laura, maybe for archiving purposes. But I would think there are plenty of photos already. Now, let me do a few instead of blathering on.

Burns Night: A Scottish Rite

It's Burns Night when Scotland remembers it's poet Robert Burns. What better time to claim a relation (hey, we're Burnses!) and chow down on haggis?

Back to reality

Hey everyone!! Ricky and I had a fabulous time in the Dominican Republic! We lounged on the beach, swam, ate, gambled, drank, ate, danced and ate some more! It was amazing! I'm going to try to post some pictures...Laura got all of the technology genes and I didn't so we'll see how it goes! :)



Ricky get a hot Dominican chick...
I got parrots...

New York checking in

Howdy, Y'all. Laura, thanks for the new E favicon. Now I can open the website and take an eye exam at the same time! It IS an E, isn't it?

New York is finally cold, but I think a lot of you got quite a chill, too. I miss spring.

I'm continuing to adjust to my life at work in a "factory" cubicle. Our building is in the fashion district and there used to be somebody sitting at a sewing machine where my desk is. It's much more a group atmosphere. Gossippy. Mostly female, which I'm sure is pure coincidence...

It is a fun group, though. Rebekah, who sits about a foot and a half away from me, is from South Carolina and sounds just like a Pate, I just love it. We finally all got our first raise in about six years, so morale has improved.

The idiotic McDonalds lawsuit is still progressing. Next, I'll be getting to look at the surveillance tape, so that should be interesting.

Cookie and I continue to work on my show and it's a lot of fun right now. You will all definitely want to change your names and deny ever knowing me before too long.

I haven't had much luck downloading pictures, or I would have. But I'll keep trying. Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy all the pix already posted by our Fearless Leader.

It's so late, I have to get to bed. Max is about ready to crash, too.

Oooh Something New

Hey, what's that little thing before the address of EwingUniverse up there in my browser? Oh cool, it's the EwingUniverse favicon! A little something to make EU stand out on your bookmarks bar so that maybe, just maybe you'll make the treacherous climb all the way up there to post about what is going on in, oh, I dunno - Florida, New York, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland or North Carolina.

Things have finally settled down here in Arlington. I had two allergic reactions to the wonder drugs prescribed to knock out the crazy supergerm MRSA. Now I am definitely on the mend. We stayed in the city a couple of weekends and pretended to be city folk. I've been cooking up a storm, but everything I make seems to have caramelized onions in it.

And of course - Happy New Year! We spent ours at the river. I made raclette and fondue and it was decadent. We watched Dick Clark and willed in a healthy, wealthy and wise 2008. How about you?
