I've missed you, old friend...

Sometimes I forget how much I like to blog. I was a big diary kid in my day. In high school, I graduated to prettier, more "sophisticated" journals with spiral binding. I even had a short rendezvous with an audio journal a la Kerri Russell in "Felicity." I've realized that sometimes I get so busy that I forget to do things that I like. Like blogging. Or cooking. Or studying foreign languages (lol yes, I'm a dork, but I like what I like!). Lately I've been making more time for things that are important in my life. I think this is the busiest I've been in a looooong time. Probably since I was teaching preschool full time, nannying part time, and going to school full time too...clearly I had a death wish in those day...but now I'm busy doing things I love. Yes it sucks getting up at 5 am to get to a sunrise yoga class, but it is sooo worth it. Yes I use more gas now in a week than I typically would in almost 2 weeks, but driving out to Silver Spring to build Ikea furniture or watch Bad Girls Club while eating Chipotle with one of my closest friends is worth every ozone depleting emission. I always had this thought that there would be some huge catalyst that made me change my approach to life. But instead, one night I was twisting my hair and I thought to myself, I'm tired of bullshit. I'm tired of not being happy or having fun or seeing my friends. Fast forward a month or so and here I am. Schedule packed to the brim with early morning yoga, standing taco dates, pole dancing, and learning the Colesville area like the back of my hand :) Not to mention I still work 10 hours a day lol. On a good night I get about 6 or 7 hours of sleep. Sometimes on "movie night" I get 3. And I couldn't be happier. I love that my life is filled with positive people, positive activities, and positive changes. I suspect that some people in my life have been wondering why we haven't seen/talked to each other lately. I guess its all part of growing up, but if you're not adding anything to my life, the only thing left to do is subtract you. Lol that was corny, but very much how I feel these days. But anyway, the whole point of this is that blogging is going to be something I make time for now. Hopefully someone out there on the giant interweb will enjoy my posts, but if not, at least I'll be able to look back one day and see what the heck I was doing at this time in my life.
