Consider yourself tagged:

Martini
Lacey
Chrys
Lesli
Monkey
And whoever else. (I don’t have that many bloggy friends)

Fellow blogger Lesli inquired about my dear friend Martini and the whereabouts of her blog.

Well, fellow bloggers, someone committed the mortal sin of blogging. Someone sent her blog to Italy. Needless to say he initially didn’t take it well. Who would do such a thing? Who knows Martini (and Italy) well enough to be such a douche? That question remains unanswered. I wish I had enough sleuthing skills to figure it out, but I don’t. In any case, she chose to delete her blog for fear this unnamed person might pass it along to others in her life. (I swear, if I ever find out who did this, their ass is grass.)

I miss Martini’s writing. She’s promised to come back again someday.

Martini – I hope you don’t mind my divulging this to the public. Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi Mom.

I’ve just been out of town/working like mad/vegging out so nothing is getting updated. I’ll have a big juicy update soon, I hope!

She did. I read a post of hers and she reminded me that I CAN blog, even if, to me…nothing is happening in my little world. Things are happening. I just don’t always think they matter. Sometimes, I get caught up in other blogs, where people have more going on than getting excited about Wednesday nights because a new episode of Ghost Hunters is going to be on. Blogs where people do things – like my BFF’s blog. I LOVE reading her blog. (Mostly because she does things I’ll probably never do!) It makes me wonder, why should I bother writing about my Sunday of leaf raking (again), working on L’s slideshow for her wedding and having a BBQ with the in-laws? Who wants to read that – how is THAT exciting or worth anyone’s time?

I need to stop trying to be entertaining and start being myself. (Because, in all honesty, I’m pretty entertaining, without trying. Read: I’m a dork.)

Anyway – things in my life are pretty tied up with Auntie Julie, but I’m still living my life as normally as I can. This too, shall pass.

So…without further adieu…a real post!

Today I am excited because my work started “Casual Summer” a whole month early – meaning today. This isn’t TOO huge of a deal since I pretty much wear what I want most days, unless I have a meeting with important people. However, with this announcement, I shall start wearing flip flops immediately. I might even add a new pair of jeans to my arsenal. Hmmm, maybe I should wait until I visit Martini and try to find a pair then. Anyway – hooray for casual summer!
