It has been a while since I posted here. There are quite a few reasons for that.. life was over-busy for a minute there, I was tired of talking about the winter, I was just tired....
Mostly, it was because I had a "so what" feeling towards blogging. It was starting to feel a lot like a John Mayer song. (Sings to herself, "No more 3x5s.....")
And yes, my hipstery young friends, I know that John Mayer is such a jerk and totally too pop-y. I know, right.
But, the thing is, I was in the height of teenage-ness when he sang about breaking down the doors of high schools. And then he wrote a song about Georgia and put a name to the feeling of a quarter life crisis, resonating with me as I was hitting mine. So yes, sometimes my feelings remind me of John Mayer songs. I'm not sorry.
[End rant]
Anyway, the point is, I wasn't sure what I was getting out of sharing my words (and photos) with you.
But then.. Wednesday, I tweeted at - is that how you make Twitter into a verb - I tweeted at The Blogess. And now Jennie Lawson, The Blogess, is following me on Twitter.
This fact compels me to feel that I should start using the Twitter again. And inspires me to blog again. Because, I remember that I do get pleasure from writing. I do, I do!
And so, I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been. I'm finally in the mood to lose my way with words. (Yes, I just paraphrased John Mayer lyrics. Still not sorry.)
Luckily, not too much has happened since the last time I wrote.. sort of. Well, here are the highlights:
Winter continued..
So I popped out for a second..
It's warmer now, but I still get excited when the temps break 50 degrees and spend every second outdoors that I can when it is non-rainy and non-chilled.
I went to a couple of fancy parties re:work.
And Chicago continues to woo me.
And my sis and niece dropped by for a sec. (PS, KB's team rocked in the Windy City Classic. Wish I had been able to catch a game!)
And that's about it. Oh, I also started a kick boxing class... more on that next week.
