dudes!… i totally made a decision of sorts and plum forgot to share!
i realized i have way too many random thoughts and way too random a life to let this blog go completely. after all, it does serve in most ways as my personal journal (only it’s available to the entire world as opposed to locked in a nitestand drawer). and lord knows i’d forget my head if it weren’t attached. so if i don’t write it down, it never happened. and then what stories will i tell my grandkids?
that to say, i’ll start doing the fashion/beauty thing i previously threatened over at one of my un-used blogger addresses. i’ll be sure to share the link provided this actually ever takes place (pretty unlikely at this point).
here… i’ll commit to one post a week. it’s not much, i’m aware. but this whole living in real life thing is time consuming. not much has changed from my up by 6am, work all week, to bed by 9pm, soccer mom, bball mom, cram in all the rest on the weekend schedule. but i’m newly devoted to guilt-free general simplification upon realizing (again) that life is too short and precious to spend any time whatsoever doing anything that takes more effort than i’m willing to give.
does that mean you guys aren’t worth the effort? of course not. i feel appropriately shitty everytime i read one of your super fantastic posts and realize it’s been ages since i contributed to the blogosphere. it’s just that i’m big (or at least medium-sized) on promises, stated intentions, keeping my word and such. and i know that once weekly is realistic at this point.
personal update?…
well, work is still an incredible balance between being fantastically rewarding, allowing me to spend hours doing absolutely nothing and giving me a currently comfortable degree of “security.”
my mini-person is still the joy of my life. it’s bball season and soon, we’ll be back on the soccer field. we’ve started talking pretty regularly about sex. i asked him yesterday if he’d at least wait until after he finishes high school to become sexually active. he said, “ok.” his facial expression said, “omg… i’ll tell you whatever you want to hear to get you to stop randomly talking to me about sex!”
and in the wild and crazy confusing world that is dating, i have settled into a pleasant and relatively calm getting-to-know-you phase with a pretty great gal.
i’m working on improving my health and fitness lifestyle. what this looks like is me more often choosing pretzels over salt&vinegar potato chips and working out with a frequency that is not really worth mentioning. a much slower start than last year. at this point in 2010, i was on a strict 5-day a week cardio routine. i’m fairly certain my diet was still crap. hmmm… as i write i realize my focus needs to be combining the two. seems when i’m working out regularly, i use the promise of an upcoming food-fiasco as motivation. and when i’m eating healthier, i tend to feel like i have no real need to workout as much. overall, if i’m feeling generally good about myself and my physical appearance (as i have lately) the whole health and fitness thing doesn’t stand a fair chance. so yeah… still working on that.
final random thought?… is not so random. i scrolled down ye olde sidebar to browse my auto-generated suggested media and there are a disturbing number of women with open mouths, bare breasts and vintage posters. i must now read over this entire post to determine exactly what i wrote to prompt such suggestions…
… i’m back. i have no idea. but i decided to include the photo of the hotdog and chips along with a few articles on things completely unrelated to this post or my life. enjoy!
