#Updates

I just looked at the blog and the last post was in February. I guess I didn't fulfill my promise of becoming an all-star lifestyle blogger about my kooky corner of the world.

Didn't fulfill it yet...

There is no time like the present to shout out a couple things that have happened since February, which is (eek!) the last time I blogged.

Regarding the weight loss goal that was a key impetus behind getting behind the wheel again, I'm down 34 pounds. This also means that I have spent all kinds of time shopping for new clothes and I really do hope to talk more about them soon. I was fortunate enough to discover Trend Up and that has helped mitigate the havoc a new body has on your wallet when it comes to preventing public nudity in tasteful and trendy ways. I have always been happy in my skin, but I guess it just feels better for me when there is less of it. I will always have, as Fat Amy would say, a "fat heart" and I'm fine with that. For now though, I am going to enjoy the lighter body encasing it.

Andy and I acquired a camper a few weeks back, which I am sitting in right now. Though he will use it as a deer camp in a few months, I have hijacked it for now, making it my woman cave (see picture) and it's a really fun space to occupy. While I did spend the better part of the summer working on lesson and unit plans and site directing a summer program in town, the QT I have in the camper involves things like reading and writing for pleasure, which are among my favorite activities.

I'll update you on just a couple of things because I want to start writing again and I figured that it would be odd to just jump right in without setting the scene. I'm fairly confident it's just me and my mom reading this, but if you're out there and something I say is interesting to you, please comment.
