Shocking Admissions and UPDATE!

HELLO!

I know it has been a while since I've written and all I can say about that is, "Eh."

It's officially summer and lots has been going on. I think the humidity combined with my complete lack of motivation has contributed to my complete lack of updates, but I just wanted to mention a few things:

1.) I did not blog for Mother's Day! All the moms I know deserved better! Moms I know: HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY!!! I hope your children don't disappoint you TOO much!

2.) My step-sister Cindy got engaged! Yay! She's the youngest of the blended brood. It's been a whirlwind courtship but her fiancee seems cool enough to be related to me, so I think everything will be just fine! Congratulations!

3.) I have been suffering from some anxiety and it only JUST NOW occurred to me that PERHAPS I was exacerbating the situation by consuming 2 gallons of various caffeinated beverages daily. It got to the point where I would just be sitting here, vibrating, and not being able to breathe so good. Yoga's helped with the whole getting oxygen to my brain thing and I've CUT BACK on my afternoon caffeine intake and just this morning...whew, I can't believe I'm admitting this...thismorningIonlyorderedoneicedcoffee. I'm feeling foggy, but I'm also not gasping for air, so I think it was the right decision. For now, anyways!

4.) I attended the Muppet's first bridal shower last weekend in Connecticut. It was very nice. We drank and ate and opened presents and drank and ate and opened presents. The majority of her bridesmaids were there, so it was fun to finally get together with everybody. The day's been coming for a while, but it's finally feeling real and exciting! Well, for me anyway!

5.) BabySteve, aka bigbro, turned 32. I was gonna do this big, sloppy blog about it, but then I got crazy and work. Besides, I actually sent him a card this year and that almost never happens, so he should just be grateful and shut the hell up. Suffice to say, you can revisit June 20 posts of the past and get the general idea, which is that my brother is awesome and I owe him a lot of money. Done! Happy Birthday, BabySteve!

6.) Reggie sent me a very thoughtful email to my MySpace account about the things I should do before I leave New York. I VERY much appreciated it and everything he recommended is right up my alley, so I'm going to TRY and get them done! I'm going to repost his email, because I think everyone should take his advice regarding these suggested jaunts. They're very New York.

7.) I lost my sunglasses. I'm bereft. I bought them for £18 GBP at a store in London calledTopShop when Kimberly took me on a whirlwind tour of Europe in August of 2002. I managed to hang on to them longer than my two previous, very expensive pairs. I've been looking for a replacement pair, but I'm coming up empty. Nothing will ever be able to match the fabulousness of those glasses. Nor the bargain price! DAMN!

The WORST part is that I KNEW I was going to lose track of them when I place them on TOP of my bag instead of IN it when I boarded the Greyhound bus back to the city this past Sunday. I could call their lost and found, but seriously. WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?

8.) I have the bestest boyfriend in the whole world. I know that sounds very 7th grade, particularly since I purposefully injected incorrect grammar for emphasis, but it's true. I can't get over the fact that he willingly deals with me every day. I think he does it because he's afraid of my mom. Whatever his reasons, I am very grateful and very excited and very much in luuuuuurv. AND! I get two more french fry coupons! :p

I think that's about it. I know I owe a Good-Bye to New York, but I'm waiting for inspiration/my resolve to cut back on caffeine to crack. Quality is completely dependent on both, so it's worth waiting for!

I hope you're all enjoying the first few days of summer and rotten garbage smell!
