Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, so...I got a text letting me know a couple of folks were wondering about me, so here's where my life is right now: Because of an issue started by Matt's parents, we broke up VERY unexpectedly three weeks ago today. It sucks more than my divorce did, but I'm an optimist, so I'm going to keep on keepin' on and be glad that Matt only took up about 18 months of my life before the bomb dropped, and I'm DARN glad it happened before I ever moved out of state with him (which was likely to happen in early January if we were still together). On the job front, I got an offer late last week and anticipate starting the new job soon provided everything goes smoothly over the next week or so. Oh, and of course I'm still a music and theatre freak; I'm up to season tickets at 4 theatres here in town and this weekend I'll be at ACL Fest seeing some REALLY wonderful music!

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Hi Labuda glad you stopped by to say Hello. It is good to know you were missed tho. Makes me mad anybody would hurt you cause you seem like a really fun person from your posts. I like you are optimistic and strong cause daily life is a challenge for everybody!
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Funny thought about your topic liner. It could be a check-in point for everybody occasionally to use just to say Hello it's me...I think that is the beginning words to a song.
Originally Posted By skinnerbox Glad you popped in, Labuda! You are sorely missed over in the WE minefield! I'm sad about your breakup. Been there, done that. It always sucks. But... I'm glad you don't have to leave Austin! It's such a wonderful island oasis in a sea of conservative stupidity, I'd hate to see you stuck somewhere else that doesn't share your beliefs and values. And good luck with the new job!

Pete - that job is still up in the air - if I do get to head to the UK for the interview, though, i'd do it in a heartbeat! You'll be one of the first to hear if that still happens!
