Oh... I know how crucial the hibernating periods can be. I really appreciate them when I get them, even though I always feel a bit guilty when I'm in them. I, too, enjoy meeting new people and as much as socially is nice to me occasionally, knowing there's a light at the end is always nice also.
Jr. actually just turned 2 yesterday poor dear. We're going to wait to celebrate his birthday till next Friday though, when my mom comes to visit.
