So what have I missed?

Now having unblocked internet access at work and more free time on my hands I decided to subscribe after taking a couple years off from the SDMB.

For those who have no idea who I am, hi…pleased to meet you. I’m the wife of the Sauron who posts here.

For those who may remember me…hi as well.

A quick update for those who have asked where I’ve been…

Still involved in the inner city literacy program I always did when I posted here. I haven’t done Book Fairies like we did back then due to it becoming an overwhelming project and I didn’t have the time this year. Maybe next year.

After much thought and deliberation, Sauron and I are having another minion. Due in late July. Cross your fingers for a girl this time. But a boy will work too.

That’s a really quick update on the last couple of years.

Glad to be back around.

Hi! Welcome back! You’ve been missed.

Welcome back! I was actually just thinking about you the other day, wondering how things were going with the literacy program.

Welcome back!

Basically since you’ve been gone we’ve come up with workable solutions for the subprime crisis, global warming, AIDS in Africa and missing socks. The beauty is that we have forged a true consensu amongst all sides of the political spectrum.

Oh yeah, we completely beat to death the concept of an airplane on a treadmill.

Yay! You’re back!

Not completely. I suspect there’ll be some discussion tomorrow. :wink:

Hi! I remember you. You had that thing with the books and the reading, right? :wink:

Well, Aries27 and Aries29 have completely filled the void left by your departure. But they often will get into flame wars with Cancer12 and Gemini31. So hopefully you can calm things down a bit.

You darn tootin’. Nice to see you here again, Aries!

Good, Sauron’s illiteracy has disturbed us all greatly. Like a monkey with a keyboard, that man is.

Okay, kidding aside, that’s just way cool. You guys are like the best minion-makers ever.

Thanks so much!

The program is going well. I have a good group of kids this year…15 of them as a matter of fact.

I wrap up this school year in March then I’ll have from then until October to prepare for my next crop of kids.

Welcome Home!

I now accept credit card offerings, in addition to sacrificing & burning a bull in My Name.

But HEY! We’re old friends, no need to stand on ceremony.

Feel free to sink to your knees & abase yourself to Me.

Welcome back. Congrats and luck wishes on your new one.

Welcome back. Got that $20 you owe me? Oh. Wait a minute. I think I owe you $20. Um.

:: cough ::

Never mind.

It’s nice to have you back. Your hubby cracks me up all the time.

<Cheif Wiggum> That’s some fine humor work there Lieu. <Cheif Wiggum>

We have made some pretty fine minions so far. I need a little female minion badly.

Maybe now I can encourage Sauron to write more. I miss his stories. My favorite is probably still the one about the yellow jacket in the truck…

Good to see you back!
Congrats on the minion!!!

Welcome back! You’ve been missed.

Perhaps you can celebrate your return by making your dear husband a nice tomato salad.
