I\u2019ve seen many blog posts that start with \u201coh boy, has it been that long?\u201d or \u201cwow, time flies!\u201d Heck, I\u2019m guilty of both of those!! I really do love writing and am starting to hope more and more that maybe one day I can do something with all of this. But I’m learning that hours 10 and 11 in front of a computer are less desirable than they seem like they will be when I\u2019m at the beginning of hour 1. When I get home at the end of my day all I want to do is play with the girls, relax with a glass of wine, pump up some tunes and wander somewhat aimlessly from room to room \u2018organizing\u2019 which Murray called \u2018getting things really, really lost.\u2019<\/p>\n

I certainly have been staying busy the last few months, which is amazing!<\/p>\n

+ I\u2019ve played with a handful of pups and kitties, each one totally fantastic in their own way.<\/p>\n

+ I’m working obsessively to finish my first quilt! It’s comin. And to give you an idea how much time I’ve spent on it, I have now listened to 5 books, countless episodes of This American Life, watched almost all of House of Cards and plan to probably start in on a bit of a Harry Potter marathon. For the record, serious quilters are amazing. This is an INCREDIBLE amount of work!<\/p>\n

+ And because I caught the quilting bug, I have also started on #2 and #3. I can\u2019t wait to see those really<\/em>\u00a0take shape!!<\/p>\n

+ I turned 27.<\/p>\n

+ I used my brand new Le Creuset pot for an amazing <\/em>meal I want to make once again \u2026 Thank you Barefoot Contessa. You\u2019ve done it once again.<\/p>\n

+ I got through another wave of birthdays and holidays I didn\u2019t really want to face. And while I \u2018faced\u2019 them in the respect that I woke up each morning and went to bed each night, I didn\u2019t really do traditional holiday things. And I\u2019m ok with that. One day that will all work out again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now? Well, I have so many things up my sleeve for 2013 that I am almost busting at the seams. One thing that is really important to me again this year is to keeping writing all this stuff down. I am hoping to post more and more but if my girls demand some attention, I think they are going to win. I want to live in the \u2018now\u2019 and embrace and love everything around me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t already a fan of my facebook page<\/a> I would really recommend it! I post a lot more on there than here these days so you\u2019re guaranteed to get peeks at the latest, greatest 4 legged kiddo before they grace these pages. Seriously – go like it<\/a> now! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
