wow, I didn't realize that it had been over a year since the last time that I posted anything on here.
I haven't forgotten about it, I guess I have just been putting it off. It comes right back around to lack of motivation...I haven't been motivated too much in my life, which means that I feel bad for not getting enough accomplished, which means I guess I dont have anything to post.
But that doesn't mean that my life has been stagnant for a whole year. Actually it was mostly crazy busy. With a wedding for my brother last June and myself last September there was lots of planning and party and family. So I have welcomed that quiet, slow pace of this year with open arms...til now. It's time to get back in the grove of things...create, make, cook, travel, invent, discover, learn, DO! And, of course, I started all of that with lists.
A list of how to be more like the most motivated person I know (currently).
A list of projects that might be fun.
A list of things to do from tomorrow until tuesday (most of which time I will not be working!).
I think it's a good start. If I can accomplish everything on that list by Tuesday I think I will officially be un-rutted.
Married.
Being married is good. I always want to say that it's weird, but it's not. It's more like the opposite of weird. It feels totally normal, common, practical, nice.
There's someone around to hang out with. Quietly eat a meal with. Be near to just to be near to.
Though it's not all quiet and calm. You always have someone that will listen to loud music and thrash about the kitchen with you. Go bowling with. Ride a beer bus to a soccer game with.
It's nice.
Plus you get to wear pajamas once you are married. Not just any pajamas, but the cute matchy ones that always seemed silly or dorky to wear before you were married. That is a great perk of being married, I highly recommend this perk.
The one thing that is still so crazy hard for me to wrap my head around about being married is that there is now someone totally in your life, willing to help support you, pushing you to become a better person. Wanting to help you accomplish dreams you haven't even discovered yet. Isn't that awesome? I think so.
So hopefully in the next few days there will be a lot of reading, learning, cooking, creating, going and doing happening around here. MAYBE since it's all about motivation I'll even try to motivate to post something about it every once in a while.
Here's to motivation!
cupcake, hockey stick, monkey, monkey, underpants!
