Before I go on explaining and you go pointing fingers, let it be known that I have faced the truths of my neglect to such a world as this blogosphere. No punishment needed. I've practically put myself in a time out chair and made my curfew 8 p.m. every night. Lesson learned. A life without words is no life at all.
No matter how much expression is known through the English vernacular, there are simply moments in life when no words can form and the shear stumping of one's thoughts leave the writer itself dumbfounded.
So I suppose I owe you to at the very least elaborate and well you, you will have to do your best to keep up. Parallel to my absence, a lot has transpired. Within the last year, there have been adjustments, implementations, and the birthing of new ideas and life that could never be articulated through a single post. However, I find even a brief elaboration is highly "blogworthy". I'd like to share. Let's journey, shall we?
Within the last year I've accomplished and witnessed a lot. I've changed my residency from the state lines of lovers to the sunshine state, started my very first career, spent multiple holidays with my family all together (it's about time), endured my first 80 degree Christmas without dying, rented my first place, witnessed many "firsts" for my nephew, explored new and unfamiliar cities & purchased new ink.
Some things I've learned?
1. Knitting is not just for grandmas, it's actually a means of stress relief.
2. Gold's Gym isn't just for prototypical meat heads.
3. Short hair makes you look like you're twelve.
4. Never drive too long on an empty tank. "E" does not stand for "extra".
5. 80 degrees in Florida really means 95.
6. Texans are some of the slowest drivers in the world.
7. Carrot cake is not healthy just because it has vegetables in it. ;)
8. God is no respecter of persons.
9. You're officially "old" when you get elated while looking at dish-ware.
10. Shopping in your storage unit is the best kind of retail therapy.
11. Even when in a career, people will still ask you "what do you want to do with your life" until your fifty.
It's been a long year and well, just be glad I spared you the guts and blood. I figured I'd leave you with the glass half full - another thing I've learned this past year.
I decided to officially have a procrastination purge. I promise I won't leave you hanging anymore.
Thanks for your patience - you're a true gem. ;)
Ps. Here's a few of my favorites since we've last chatted.
