Changes

Well that was a rather pathetic attempt at updating regularly. It has been almost a whole month! I promise there have been multiple extremely legitimate reasons why I have fallen off the map for so long.

It started when I hopped on a train to Santa Rosa to help my sister out the last week of her pregnancy. She went into early labor the night before, so I sat on the train willing it to move faster so that I didn't miss being at the hospital when our Little Miss showed up. Luckily, she waited for me and I got there about an hour before she was born.

She is the most precious baby ever. I even got to name her! It only seemed fair that I would get to name my sister's firstborn since she named me.

So I missed updating that week due to running around trying to get everything ready for Lily and family to come home.

Let's see...what did I do next...

Another reason I went home was to help my mom out at work and make some extra money. Wait. I feel like I am missing something...

Oh! The reason I need extra money is because I decided to be crazy and make yet another big life change.

Yup, it is official boys and girls. I am moving back up north.

Now, before you think that I am completely irrational and impulsive, let me explain my reasoning. After moving to Los Angeles, I've sort of just been floating along without any real goals in mind. So one day after randomly finding my old acceptance letter to SF State, I decided I needed to go back to school. Finally, a goal! Since my heart was still set on the Creative Writing program at SF State, I realized I was in the wrong city.

I swear, one of these days I will settle somewhere. Maybe.

So there you have it! I have been running around trying to sort out plans to move and freaking out about making such drastic changes (again). I've been back in LA for a week now and I haven't packed a single thing. My procrastination has reached pretty epic levels.

Alcohol always helps.
