I cannot even express how many times I have said to myself, you need to sit down at that computer and write. Write your little heart out. I had no idea I had neglected my blog this long...seriously January 7 was my last post AND that was just a info dump from my deleted myspace page (remind me to tell you about an argument I have been having with one of my dear friends about myspace, would love your input).
8 months, 8 months and a handful of days since I put all of my life's craziness into words...I am astounded. Well I am a fbook, twitter, and now G+ -aholic so it isn't like the world has been void of my postings of opinions and such...but this is just different! I know you know what I am talking about. I can sit here and tell you about my love and my loss my laughter and smiles. The things that have encouraged my and beaten me down. I want to be extremely open. I think there is a person in my life who might not quite appreciate the openness of all that I am going/wanting to say but I can't let that stop me. I need advice and opinions.
Some people might say why don't you just turn to your friends...and I do, I talk to them and tell them what is going on in my life, to a certain degree. I have a problem with casual intimacy...in the friendship realm. It is one of those situations where everyone I am really close to in my life is a couple. I kid you not I am basically the only single person I know, talk to and hang out with...and my "singleness" is deserving of quotations because it is a murky territory. I am madly in love but I'll come back to that in a bit. as for needing to get all out there, I am a let it all hang out (in hopefully a decently written conversational manner) type of gal. there are times where I think, well I probably could have gone without saying that, but I in general don't like limitations. Limitations offend my sensibilities.
I have been running the marathon of life since we last spoke. I was promoted to a full-time position in my company, and since then been promoted and given a raise. I have been placed on the Board of Directors at Trustus Theatre, as well as taken on the task as "curator" for The Gallery at Trustus. (we have always had artists show their work but I am trying to make it a legit place to showcase talented artists and their designs/creations.) The arts are a community and we need to interact, support and offer out a hand if needed! I bought a car, moved into and decorated my own apartment and adopted 2 cats...wow we really HAVEN'T talked. I went to Mexico, read a bunch of good books, stage managed 2 shows, am rehearsing for another one and Assistant Directing a 3rd all before the end of the year! I have to say one of the most important things I have done in the past few months would be that I lost 25lbs! It fluctuates about 5LBS here and there but daaaaaaaamn that is the weight of my best friend's youngest daughter. I have basically lost a two year-old child. Now luckily I am one of those body types where I just kind of shrink so it isn't really that noticeable when I go up and down a little, but man this is the most I have ever lost...and I am doing it the right way, the healthy way!
I joined weight watchers and use that as a tool along with working out on a regular basis. I am running more than I ever have before in my life and it feels like such an accomplishment. If you are stuck WW is a great way to get your mind in the right place to loose the pounds!
I have never been so in tune and interested in healthy life options...I see nutrition classes in my future. Along with classes in non-profit management! I am loving, loving, loving the momentum I have going in my work life and just want to keep it going!
Well speaking of work I should probably get back to it! I promise not to leave you for so long again. I promise new posts and pictures and surprises, and heartfelt stories and admissions!
Have a wonderful Wednesday! May it sparkle for you!
