The Untimely Demise of CX

So for the past few years (four?), my scrappy home on the web has been Creative Express. About a month ago, the forums and galleries were suddenly GONE. No warning. No notification. Just gone. After a week or so, the CX people put up a message saying that the information had been lost when they were switching servers. Hmmmm. It was handled terribly. There are many people who were very upset and annoyed. Including me.

So a bunch of us have got together over at Outta this funk and Bunny's Place. . . but we seem to have lost some of the mojo and spirit we had, and we've certainly lost some of our friends. Sad.

Update on all kinds of things

Here we go, an update on life 'n' stuff.

Chris: has settled in well in his new job at Microsoft, and his job is not threatened by the upcoming cuts. He is also settling into his new role as director of Side By Side, our singing group. Tonight we had our first rehearsal for the show we will be doing in May or June. The theme is "Songs for a New Depression." It's going to be awesome!
Quiera: is living in Walla Walla with her "spouses", Regina and Alex. Regina had a baby in early December, Isabell Grace, known as Bella. They also have three other children: Emmalee (10),
Brittan (boy, 5) and Cassidy (3). I'm not totally sure on those ages; I'll have to check. Quiera is currently staying home and sharing house and child duties with Regina. Despite none of her family being very happy about this arrangement, she seems to be doing well, and generally sounds happy when I talk to her on the phone, which is quite often.
Tia: is having health issues, as usual. We're seeing different specialists trying to come up with some relief for her. She is currently doing halftime school at home, only taking Russian, English and Algebra 2. Her abilities in Russian continue to astound me.
Me: I'm not working, and don't have anything coming up as far as performing, not until the SBS show. I've been chosen to direct a play reading this year, but the dates are currently up in the air. I hope to do a lot of crafting this year, write some theatrical pieces, sing and of course act. My health is okay, not perfect but not too bad either.

You are now officially updated!
