Yes, it's true. I'm back. It's no secret that I've been absent from this blog for quite some time now. I haven't been absent from life though, and that's why I haven't been able to update you all on my comings and goings. There's so much to tell. However, as I spent the better part of this evening reading and getting caught up on all of YOUR blogs, I became consumed with an overwhelming feeling of blogger envy. So many blogs I read are full of inspirational and uplifting posts that strengthen me and my faith. After reading about those amazing experiences I went to update my blog and felt that it was, in a word, shallow/superficial/lame. Mostly I use this blog as an outlet for my quirky sense of humor and refrain from posting anything even remotely serious or thought provoking. So I guess it is shallow, or my thoughts are shallow, or (gasp!) I'm shallow! I mean, is it really that interesting to hear about the next vacation I'm going on, or the next toy I'm considering purchasing, or the latest Hollywood gossip that has captivated my attention? I might have to possibly revamp my whole platform.
P.S. Just in case some of you ARE interested in my recent travellings, Alaska was amazing! I enjoyed it much more than I expected to! We went kayaking in Ketchikan, whale watching in Juneau, hiking in Skagway and then saw the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC. The scenery was breathtaking and the group of friends I was with kept me laughing all week long! I never thought that Alaska would be a place that I would visit, let alone recommend to others, but I must say that if you ever have the chance to go you should jump on it!!
P.P.S. Has anyone ever seen the movie The Ultimate Gift? It's a major cheeser but is really touching. I'm watching it as I'm typing this post. Rent it. Watch it. Love it.
P.P.P.S. There are less than 34 shopping days until my birthday.
P.P.P.P.S. I'm really not THAT shallow, right?
P.P.P.P.S. (last one, I promise!) I just wanted to give a big shout out to my cousin Mark, who has passed the first section of his CPA exam!! As one who has been in his situation and had to suffer through those hellacious tests, I take my hat off to his success (hypothetically of course, I'm not wearing a hat because hat hair doesn't really work for me). Take the time to congratulate him on this amazing accomplishment!!!
