OK. Hiatus over. I promise. No more.

I have no picture. I have no excuses. For the past ten months I have been enmeshed in a relationship that was completely exhausting in every way. Those of you with some personal insight into what's been going on with me probably know what I'm talking about - and I have to thank those of you who were there after my "awakening" with nothing to say but "hey, welcome back."

I will give you a brief summary of some things that have been developing - or undeveloping, as the case may be:

• While my long-time friend, Big Rick is wonderful, little rick is..... I wish him the best, but I am tapped out - that is what happens when you involve yourself with a "taker" - and a convincing one at that. No hard feelings, just needed a breath of air, and now I have plenty of them.
• Found out who my true friends are - those who helped me move out of my apartment instead of watching Sons of Anarchy. Those who stayed with me and took me out and said, "Dude what the hell are you doing? Don't you think you deserve something better?"
• I did attend the New Kids on the Block concert, and it was by far, the funnest thing I have ever done. I had an obnoxiously great time, and it was worth waiting twenty years.
• I moved out of my apartment (obviously) due to some unforseen events (no, I did not get evicted) and am moving into an apartment across the street from where I used to live, on the 10th of December. It has vaulted ceilings, which is awesome.
• My hamster, Patty, who I have yet to post a picture of, I'm realizing, is alive and well and needs some pellet food.
• I went to visit my friend Mary Gail at the lake, and had fun sewing, shooting guns, and eating. Really.
• I am in love with Prismacolor Premier pencils and just bought a grip of them on ebay for like, 35 dollars. Score.
• I am in love with the internet, my vintage Dymo label maker with the script wheel, and coming up with ways to decorate my apartment.
• I need to sell my big chaise and chair (part of a sectional) and buy a different, smaller couch.
• I dreamt of my grandmother the other night.
• Oh, and I turned 32.

more later. and again. i'm sorry. i'm back. i'm lucid.

finally.
