Back on line!

Apologies to those who were keeping up with me for disappearing for two months.  I managed to finish up my 30 days of programming just fine.  I loved it, but haven't done anything since then. 

I got in the car with the dog and drove from San Francisco to Michigan.  It was a long trip and I spent more than a month away from home.  Ada went on her first ever plane ride and I painted a bunch of rooms in the house (the guest bedroom no longer looks scary and has no pipes in it!)  I am not quite ready to start my next 30 day challenge, but I will be starting another challenge for myself.

My task for today is to write a bucket list!  Things I want to do before I die and some of them I have already done.

I hope to update again in a week or so and by that time I'll probably know what my next challenge will be.  ^__^ I'm excited to be back!
