I'm Baaaaack!

No, but really. I'm back.

That One Time I Nearly Lost My Mind

So I don't know if y'all have realize that the husband and I had made this big move last year. You surely had to have noticed, right?

Ha! I kid. 

hello, are you still there?

it's been a while, and i am still here.

are you excited? i'm super stoked.

actually, i have had a very busy 8 months. no i did not have a baby - do you guys even know me? - but i did have a few major events happen that took up a great deal of my time. so instead of trying to come up with some kind of balance in my life, i just freaked the fuck out and ignored this corner of the internet. too much to do and not enough life skills to help me tackle the ever-important ability to balance the many life events that are in one's life. you know, the basic, living kind of stuff.

so you ask, what has happened? the boy and i got hitched. we did it. but a few months before our big day the mister and i decided to spend all our savings - a savings that should have been used on our wedding - and embarked upon a trip to Amsterdam, Paris, and Brussels. you know where our priorities lie.

now that things have calmed the fuck down, i've been staring at this blog for some time. just eyes glazed over staring at this blank blogger post page with the cursor just blinking at me, mocking and judging me. it's time to shit or get off the pot, so here i am. and i changed up the design to make it look less like a boy-crazy-thirteen-year-old-girl's blog and more like a fifteen-year-old-girl-who-is-trying-to-be-an-adult's blog.

we'll see where this road leads us. xoxo.

musings of a lost part-time blogger

so, here i am staring at this blank Blogger page trying to figure out exactly what i want to do with this little blog of mine. we could even go so far as to ask, "what the fuck do i want to do with the rest of my life?" UGH! i guess i am still trying to figure some things out. i really thought by the time i was in my mid-thirties this shit would be all sorted, but i guess that is a "perk" of being an unmarried-childless-middle-aged women; you get to spend all your time obsessing about yourself.

when i first approached this blogging adventure, i thought "what the heck. i can do this, easy peasy!" but then reality set in, and i thought, "holy fuck, i have no idea what i want to do." -- actually, that statement has totally turned into my life motto: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WANT TO DO!!! so instead, i just sit on the couch and stare endlessly at the tv.

i am writing this because i am going to try a different approach. initially, i was just going to write about little things here or there. mainly things about movies or tv or books -- my three favorite hobbies, which suggests that i am a hardcore homebody and to that i say, "fuck yes." recently i've run into a bit of a wall and have realized that i cannot keep up with my tv, movie, or book commentary. basically, in the overall scheme of internet blogs, you could throw the proverbial rock two inches and hit a blog dedicated to some girl's ramblings about movies, tv and books. so why would anyone be interested in what i have to say about said items, especially when i can't keep up with my own tv shows (i.e. Project Runway)? i still have to watch the finale of that damn show.

my goal -- which i am going to try very hard to keep -- is that i'm going to try to be more personal. i know, i know, i never really wanted this blog to be a personal journal because i am a very private person, but as time has passed and the i've reflected more upon what i want to do with this blog, i came to the realization that i want to get personal with y'all (for my 10-ish readers). what draws me to my favorite blogs is their personal nature, which feeds quite well into the fact that i love being a voyeur. i know i tease these perfect lifestyle blogs, but it's because i love them some much. it comes down to having a connection with someone versus reading something stale and generic.

let's see where this road takes us. your safety is not guaranteed. i am lazy and a procrastinator, so i'm not sure what we should expect, but a girl's gotta have goals. since i am a homebody and an introvert, my adventures outside of the home are pretty close to nil. i'm okay with that, but i'm not sure you are. so hang in there, and greatness is sure to follow. ha!

* i have a bit of an obsession with drawing stick figures.

third, or fourth, or fifth time's a charm. right?

so... i'm going to give this ago, again. write some things and whatnot.

stick around and we'll see if this goes anywhere. let's keep our fingers crossed. i think i can get my shit together and produce some musings on things. i can do this, i can. can i?

i guess one of the main items i would like to bring to this blog is reviews of books, television shows and films (or more like movies because "films" implies that i watch classy shit, and most of the time i don't). since i spend a majority of my time doing all three of those things, i'll write about it. because i know y'all are dying to know what i think, i just know it.

so now that i have a platform to write down my every thought and whim (and that i am really going to use it this time around), consider yourself welcome. xoxo.

it's been way to long.

it's been awhile.

a long, long while.

i've been very busy being totally lazy and boring.  ugh.

i have no excuse as to why i haven't posted anything.  i have no followers, so it doesn't matter.  but i really have to practice my writing and that is one of the main reasons as to why i started this in the first place, and i've done nothing about it (story of my life).

one major issue with this blog is that i really don't know what i want this to be.  i don't want to get to personal here but it seems that is how a lot of blogs are.  so i'm at a stand still.

my initial thoughts were to have his blog full of short stories and random thoughts about things, but i now realize that i don't have short stories or random thoughts about things (well i do, but you really don't want to hear them.  trust me).

so i'm just going to give it a go.  we'll see how this thing turns out.  i know i've said this before, i would like to post at least once a week and i haven't done that yet, but i really am going to try and get something up once a week.

thanks. xoxo.

hola. aloha. guten tag. bonjour. hello.

i've been thinking long and hard on what this venture should be like.

it's funny, because when you start a blog on wordpress, the site goes through this set up process on where it suggests to you that you go through all these tutorials on how your blog should look like and be like.  but not on blogger, and thank goodness it doesn't.  maybe that's why cats have blogs and dogs have blogs, and now i too a middle-aged hag (my boyfriend informed me that i am more of a nag) have a blog.

so here it goes, my (probably unsuccessful) foray into the world of blogging.

i will try and have a post weekly, until i know exactly what i'm doing.  that's my goal anyways.  but i'm an uber procrastinator (isn't everyone these days?) so we'll see how things fare.

xoxo.
