I apologize...to all 6 of you. First I create a blog, then I decide not to tell anyone about it until "I am ready and confident in my consistent writing ability", & then I write 3 posts and forget I started. It wasn't supposed to be like this. And yes, I was supposed to use facebook to recruit more followers...but life is what happens when you are busy making plans right? I believe thats the saying. I have been so caught up with life recentely, that I forgot I had this super plan to be this great blog writer who discusses important topics such as health, nutrition, fitness (as well as my favorites like music and travel).
And my, so much has happened since I last came on here. To recap: I finished my first year of graduate school (whew)...BP assisted in the greatest environmental disaster ever (tear)...I got a summer job! (dollar bills raining down on me...and then right into my landlords hands). But hey...I am doing it, on my own, and loving every minute of my crazy life. These last few weeks since finishing school have really come and gone like a summer thunderstorm from your childhood. You know...the ones where youre swimming in the backyard pool on this hot gorgeous day, & within seconds it is downpouring. You are fleeing the scene of the backyard, running inside as the thunder scares the living daylights out of your dog, (whose giant golden retriever tail is now hitting you on the legs like a baseball bat as she races you for the door). You are cold, because you are now inside your house in a wet bathing suit. You watch from your window, and after 5 minutes of this beautiful beautiful rain, It just stops. The sun comes out again...and youre debating whether the rain made the pool too cold to go back in.
That was my life from May 1st-now. Sun, Thunder, Fear, & Serenity. All in 3 weeks. Or 8-12 minutes if were sticking to my pool analogy.
Perhaps I should go back to thinking of more ideas related to this blog to write about. But for now, I just want to write. Truth: I dont know what I want to do with this blog. I love nutrition, & I am studying it...but I sometimes feel like there are other things I want to say. Thinking: I wonder if I will ever have more then 6 followers, but boy do I love the title of my blog. Fact: "youve had a blog for not even 2 months and youve already forgotten about it".
You know whats really been on my mind though? (Besides my homemade smoothies that I can make with a magic bullet that my roommate got from an infomercial)...music. <3
Ah yes, music. Whenever my life changes in any way, music always seems to be a part of it. Whenever I travel somewhere, music tends to leave its mark in any city I go to. And right now...its been getting me through the night. Would you all judge me if I told you I sleep 9 hours a night almost every night? I will not be embarassed. I think its healthy and wonderful, and probably why I am almost always a happy happy lady. But in these changing times (and some confusing times) I have well...sort of been having trouble falling asleep at night. Not every night. But a few in the last week or so. That being said, I have been busting out the old routine which is creating multiple playlists on my ipod that help me fall asleep, or remind me of happy thoughts (which lead to me relaxing and falling asleep). And hot damn...I just love that stinkin i pod. Maybe its from years of dance class. Maybe its from my father saying "name this song!" to every tune on the radio, from any genre imaginable, forcing me to become an 8 year old human jukebox. But music and me. we are a good match. It just works. To me, its like language.
Blah. Enough about my babbling on and on over my endless playlists. It is almost midnight and the amount of spelling and grammar errors that are probably floating around in this note would make me cringe. But I am going to post it anyway. I am going to post it without even reading it over once. (badass).
(Pet peeve: adults who spell every day words wrong). Judgemental? Maybe a little. But I cant help it. And with how sleepy I am right now, I am probably throwing stones at my own glass house.
Off to bed I go. I hope to be a better blog writer this summer, & keep this thing going as close to the original plan as possible.
Peace. Love. & Hummus.
Jess
