New Beginnings...But Aren't All Beginnings New?

I know, I know, it's been over a week and I haven't said anything else.

I'm just...I don't know what to say. While I was in Indiana, this blog was mostly to let my friends and family in Connecticut (and other parts) see how I was doing, what I was up to. But now I'm here, back in Connecticut, and 95% of my readers are now participants in the life I'd be writing about. This now makes blogging about my life both less interesting for them, and more complicated for me.

I have to remind myself: I do have other things to write about!

[o] In the next three months, Ryan and I will be taking on a wild lifestyle change--radically changing what we eat, and dedicating ourselves to exercise and being more physical in general. Seeing as both of us are addicted to love starch and sugar and caffeine and fat and all that delicious stuff, this is going to be...challenging, to say the least.

[o] In the next year, we're planning a wedding! So many decisions to think about, sweat over, go back and forth on, and write about in stupid, no-one-else-but-me-cares detail.

[o] Coming up in just three days, I start at a new store, right across from my old high school, right on the college campus that many friends work on or attend. A store that is much busier than any I've worked in for any period of time, with a dozen brand new people and so many differences from my past two stores!

[o] Part of what I've been looking forward to in moving back to Connecticut is PHOTOGRAPHY. Connecticut is one of the prettiest places anywhere, and I happen to live in what some people term "the middle of nowhere," and others term as "paradise." Trees trees trees TREES, fields, antique houses, streams and rivers and cliffs...Indiana was pretty, I grant you, but when you grow up surrounded by forest, there is just nothing else for it. It's a smorgasbord!

[o] Oh, and writing! I plan on becoming very serious about writing, especially now that moving isn't the main focus of every spare second. There's even a little cafe not even five minutes from my house, right in the center of town, that seems like the perfect retreat...

[o] And, of course, I'm going back to therapy to figure out a LOT of shit about myself. That's a touchier subject, that may be written about less...but if you've read over this blog, you may already know that I'm not always shy when it comes to my personal identity stuff.


See? TONS to talk about still!

See you soon :)
