I
am
back.
And yes, you may say that in a Schwarzanegar (spl?) kinda voice although I recognize that what he really says is...
I'll
be
back.
Okay, whatever.
Soooooooooo...I think I am officially de-funked (thank you God). Not sure why I got into a funk. Maybe it was the post-wedding blues combined with missing my family combined with a to-do list (T.D.L.) that never freakin' ends. I'm tired of doing. I'm tired of always have something to be done on the weekend, of the go-go-go feeling. I haven't had a day where I do absolutely nothing in a long time and boy am I ready for it. I told Rich that I wish to do NOTHING this weekend. Well you know, apart from celebrating Christmas and all. Oh! And going to Luminares at Desert Botanical Gardens (I'm SOOOOO excited for it). So apart from those two big events (one bigger than the other - hello Christmas), I need to just sit and read a book, and have my dinner served in bed. Ha (!) on that last one!! But you get the point. I'm unfortunately one of those people whose T.D.L. (to-do list) nags at me...even when I decide to let it sit alone in a corner. It still cries for me and reminds me of how much I have yet to do and hence I can never truely feel relaxed until it's gone - or at mostly gone. Sigh. It's one of my weaknesses. Right now I have a couple things left on the list:
T.D.L.
- Figure out what to eat on Christmas Day - thinking pork tenderloin
- Proof the pages for our picture album thing from our photographer
- Return some wedding presents - yes, it's true, we ended up with a kazillion nut bowls which seems to be the newest fad in wedding presents - sorry if this is you
- Clean up the guest bedroom - it's a wedding nightmare in there. Everything got dumped in there after the wedding.
- Go doggie xmas present shopping with Rich - they're human too. (silence). Uh-oh. Did I just say that out loud?? Crap.
- Send parents on both sides the wedding dvd and pictures
You know what I just figured out? T.D.L. not only could stand for to-do list but it could also stand for my kind of list..."to-do LATER". :) Nifty, eh? I just figured that one out. I feel smart. Yup, it doesn't take much my friends.
BUT, I digress from my original reason for this post. Guess what? I-am-back...Schwarzegar style!! Yeah!! I promise to post more because I have yet to tell you of a christmas ornament I recently made for my bro-in-law. I thought it kinda rocked and I hope that you all like it too! More on that tomorrow!
Peace out,

I am so glad you're baaaack! Oh how I've missed you:) And to-do-lists are overrated...(although I am just as bad - I think it comes with our career field) sometimes you do just need to 'put it in the corner', or the trash, or hide it in a drawer for awhile. Enjoy your day of doing nothing!
I'm glad your unstuck, but it happens.
I used to be like you, lists upon lists, couldn't rest until they were done. Which is a fallacy b.t.w. they never really get done, because theres always more to do.
just wait till you have kids.
:)
(don't be mad at me. love you!)
Welcome back ! :)
Lizzie - I like the trash idea!! And I'm glad to be back too. :)
Lori Ann - i'm not mad at you. the same thought ran through my mind! i kept thinking...i can't just disengage from life when we have kids. that won't be an option even!
Kavi - thank you my friend. :)
