I have been called out

I am so ashamed. My failure to post daily is not just minor. It's massive. Epic, even. I have not posted in over two months. Some might say that, per the definition of my blog, the implication here is that I have not learned anything in over two months. I beg to differ. I have learned. In fact, maybe I have been SO BUSY learning for the past two months that I didn't even have time to write about it. Believable?
yeah, ok. The bottom line is that I have failed. And after I failed, I procrastinated because I was so embarrassed about my failure. And after procrastinating, I decided to let it go because nobody had said anything to me about it. It was then, of course, that I was called out (thanks, Bozung). So here I am, declaring amnesty for myself and my 60+ days without blogging the things I learned.
I am not going to try to catch you up on what I learned, but I will give you an update on the high points of my life in the past two months:
-I testified in court regarding a case I investigated at work. It was a little intimidating, but a cool experience. Yet another reason I truly love my job.
-Had my very first experience in being stood up. Oddly enough, it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. But it might make for some humorous blog fodder someday.
-Went for my first hike of the season a few weeks ago. Let me just reiterate the utter superiority of this state. I am so happy to be out in the sun again!
-I am looking for a house! That's right, I am hoping to be a homeowner by no later than August 1, 2009. It is exciting and intimidating and tiring all at once. And my realtor happens to be the best actor in Colorado Springs. No, seriously. How's that for multitasking?

There are probably more things I could share, but I feel like it will be hard to follow the whole buying-a-house thing, so that's all for now. So let me leave you with what I learned today:

Apparently my tv is not ready for the DTV conversion. I do have the converter box. But as I was watching tv tonight (the Bachelorette, what else?), a crawler came across the screen saying "If you can see this message, your TV is not ready for the DTV conversion."
So, I'm thinking I'll join the senior citizens of Colorado Springs at one of the digital conversion workshops. I can't wait. After that, we'll probably have a nice 4pm dinner at Country Buffet.
