just the other day i started reading one of my old blogs on xanga, remember that? i couldn’t get over how lame i sounded. i couldn’t help but blush at the immaturity and obnoxiousness of the writer… me! but here i am again. why?
well, there’s something to be said about growing. and seeing that growth in words, with your friends commenting and woo’ing and ah’ing over your kids’ silly pictures that really aren’t that cute. there’s a sweetness to learning and thinking that you’ve said something important, when really… it’s all been said before. and i miss my friends who’d read my blogs and i, theirs.
so what’s up? i guess a lot has changed since my last post. boys are bigger. louder. more grating. more loveable. insanely annoying. too precious to capture in words or pictures. our house has changed too. we moved! we are all grown up now, living with quiet, older crew in san marino. we honestly feel like total charlatans. we’ll drive around wondering if people know that people like US live in this mature establishment. hilarious.
i’m loving the west coast more and more. i still can’t get over the weather. it’s amazing… no wonder people write books, songs, and movies about it! it’s that great. i really haven’t had the true LA experience since i don’t live on the cool side of town, but i’ve gotten a taste and i can’t say i hate it. i love the food. amazing. seriously, y’all have to visit.
so here’s the latest and greatest from what’s going on inside of me. i realized that i’ve really become a flake of sorts. deadlines don’t have that great looming threat like it used to before. in fact, i think of them to be challenged. there has to be a way to get an extension, or did they really need it by monday? i’m sure it could wait a few days. i’m not sure why or how i got this way, but it’s pretty disturbing to me. i physically can’t get myself to cross off certain to-do’s because of this lack of duty or fear i have of deadlines! something for me to work on the new year.
so there it is. my first post in 2012. here’s hoping to more in the coming year!
i DO remember your xanga. very fondly, as a matter of fact. not to make you blush even more, i have to be honest. your little tidbits of boys’ everyday life/milestone, as well as just pondering about your role as a mom and wife and a woman really was a great place for me to ponder those things, and also to look forward to those very milestones myself… and i missed it.
no pressure (because now i know how difficult it is to find the time to sit in front of the computer,) but i’m looking forward to seeing more of you here and keeping up with your life on that other coast.
btw, have you started working? what are these deadlines you speak of? did i miss some huge thing?
