Spring Cleaning for the Fall

Hi All,

Sorry I’ve been out of touch. Just very pensive lately and that either makes me want to write up a storm OR avoid humanity like the plague. Chosen the latter recently. Had two deaths in the family, a series of surgeries, a new baby with health issues, and a heck of a time at the office. Long hours, little to no sleep (sheer anxiety I’m sure), and burning my internal wick at both ends, produces a very anti-social girl.

However, of late, have realized that turning off the cell phone, retreating to the guest bedroom (with the lovely digital cable and comfy down comforter), after making myself a Cosmo the minute I walk in the door from work…is not exactly productive.

So, at this point, just trying to be positive and start every day fresh. This is more difficult than it seems, as this morning, all I wanted to do was hurl our new swanky alarm clock at my poor husband and bury my head beneath the downy softness of my pillow. Keep attempting to block out the world and the damn overhead light that T leaves on when he gets up for work, but to no avail.

I’m trying to get back to my old optimistic self. Starting new projects. Smiling at everyone (even when I want to rip their happy judgmental faces off). Call it spring cleaning for the fall.

I’ve also realized that I’ve been taking the easy way out and in lieu of writing, I’ve been posting mostly forwards and jokes on this blog. Thus, I’ve started Forward of the Day. You can still catch all the thought-provoking quotes, embarrassing photos, and the occasional joke on this site, but now all the e-mail forwards that you love to hate will be on the other site. Can I compartmentalize or what?

Okay, enough rambling. Love, health & happiness to you all and drop me a line if you stop by. Headed home…will try to avoid the digital cable (EIGHT HBOs!!! Ultimate in time-suckage) but may have to suffer through a Cosmo…

xoxo, L
