No, really. I'm just as surprised as you are.
I'm not going to apologize for not being on top of my blog anymore. I am sooooo super crazy busy funtimes that this is the first thing I will let slip if something's gotta slip. I love blogging but this shit don't pay the bills, or get me A's in school.
So far this semester has been fabulous. I'm working all the time, I'm doing well in my classes and I even joined the gym (no shit!). Add in a light sprinkling of activities social in nature and overall, this chick is quite pleased with herself. For the first time in a looong time I feel productive & content.
I feel like myself again....and I remember why I like me. Mostly because I'm friggin awesome. I love my friends, my family.....my life in general right now. Sometimes it's stressful, but I've got a pretty good grip on things....and that counts for so much.

I Have Conquered The Winter!!
Yeah, you heard me. Winter is my bitch.
Typically Winter & I do not get along. I don't really enjoy being cold....or wet.....or effin' COLD. I usually spend most of the winter indoors trying to solve the puzzle of human hibernation. Until now.
This winter in the Niagara region we have been blessed (ha!) with copious amounts of snow. You can say that I was less than pleased....at first. This blustery winter season I have come to appreciate it, or at least fight back. This battle has been epic and ongoing for 25 years now, and every year winter kicks my ass. This year the tables have turned, winter! Take that!
It started innocently at first....walking to the corner store in a snow storm to avoid driving. Then it escalated after pushing SEVERAL cars out of snow drifts. What happens next is no less than earth shattering....
Yesterday night.....I went for a hike. In the snow. And it was MY idea. No shit.
I'm just as shocked as you are, but it looked so nice with the ankle-deep snow & the big fluffy flakes falling slowly....it was hypnotic. I had a blast. Once I started hiking I was going full tilt....up hills, down hills, through thickets....over fallen trees...and even falling in the snow while ascending a particularly steep slope. It was cold, but I didn't mind.
So bring it on winter.....I'm ready for you this time. You can huff & puff & blow the snow down, but it's not going to keep me cooped up inside. I've got far too much exploring to do.

No, It Didn't Hurt Too Much When I Fell Off The Face Of The Earth
I'm a bad, bad blogger.
It's been almost ten days since my last post....but I have been sooooo busy. I'm back in class, and I'm working like a slave child so you will have to forgive my absence. Things should be back to normal after next week. I think.
Then again, my life as of late has been an ongoing process of trying to "get back to normal". Well, normal for me anyways. But I am starting to feel like myself again....and that's awesome.
The bad news is, I haven't really given much thought to an actual post for this topic....so it's basically just a quick "Hey! Happy new year! Don't worry, I'm still alive!" I do have a couple cool ideas rolling around for future posts though....so stay tuned!
