Ok, so it only took me over a year, but I finally led another climbing route. This was at Left Field wall at Pendergrass, Lowered Expectations aka Sandy's Ass Cherry 5.6 ** (sport). I think in the book its actually a 5.5, but online it says 5.6? It was 5 bolts and about 45ft tall. Anyways...
I top roped it first, some would say that is lame, but considering I hadn't led in over a year, and only once ever I thought I deserved a break. So I top roped it, no big deal, very easy indeed... I told myself, yeah I think I can do this. So I decided to give it a shot on lead. Voila! I made it up without too much trouble at all. I was nervous trying to clip the last bolt because I could barely reach it but wasn't comfortable moving up until I had it clipped. Ain't no shame, at least not in my book :)
