I missed you, too!

Work has been an absolute bear. And if you know me at all (from this blog or in real life), you know how I feel about bears. They only exist to torment and maim, draining all life from their terrified victims. And those claws. Dude.

I hate excuses, but I'm going to make a big one here: I haven't posted for over a month because of work. I spend all day at the computer, writing, editing, and doing other things that have to do with writing and editing, and when I come home at the end of the day? I. Do. Not. Want. To. Write. Another. Word. Plain and simple.

But now that I'm finally getting some breathing room at work, I decided it's time to come out of retirement. Don't hang up my Blogger jersey just yet.

So enter a list of stuff that's happened while I've been in absentia, because I can't exactly just dive back in here with a real post or anything. Sheesh. Baby steps.

  • NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!! I've never been more proud of anything or anyone in my whole life. Those boys deserved that. And Roy, I forgive you. I guess.
  • The boyfriend and I booked a vacation to Puerto Vallarta for mid-June. Sort of a last hurrah before he leaves for South Korea. It will certainly be bittersweet, but in the absolute best way. Beach? Sun? Ocean? Mountains? Bottomless margaritas? Check, check, check, check, and check.
  • As a natural consequence of booking a beach vacation, I tried on a bikini from last year. And, you know, I knew I was more wobbly now than I was even a year ago. What I didn't realize was that the wobbly bits weren't just in select places. My entire body was a wobbly bit when I looked in that mirror. So I started exercising. Yes, you read that correctly. I've worked out more in the last two weeks than I have in the last year.
  • I also said I was going to eat healthier, but a girl can give up only so many vices.
  • Bought quite a few items of clothing and at least two pairs of shoes. See above re: vices.
  • Got a raise.
  • Enjoyed the change in weather by going to lots of happy hours with friends.

Hmmmm. That's all I can think of right now. Enjoy your weekend - I'm leaving tonight for Washington, D.C. Update upon return, I promise!
