silence is...

i knew that i hadn't blogged in a while, but i was a little shocked to realize that it has been almost two months.

its not like there hasn't been anything happening.
actually, a LOT has been happening. but i either didn't feel like talking about it or i couldn't.

a lot has been happening at work. things have been busy and stressful. but rule #1 around my blog is never write about work. EVER. so moving on...
preparing for my upcoming trip to Ukraine has taken a great deal of my time and energy. but its not really anything to talk about here.
i moved a couple weeks ago. but its nothing i really want to talk about. i'm currently camping out in my parents' guest room with everything i own in a pile in their garage. the most descriptive word i can think of to use is demoralizing.
i haven't even been baking. i know, weird, right?

the only thing i even really wanted to talk about was something that i was keeping under my hat until i knew it was actually going to happen. i was beginning to think that this day would never come, but i bought a house. and if everything stays on schedule it should officially be mine in a little over a week. i am so excited. and completely terrified. its a lot of money. and i own zero furniture. no couch. no bed. no table and chairs. no fridge. no washer and dryer. i don't even own silverware or pots and pans. and that all takes money. i know it will all work out and i will thoroughly enjoy finally having my own place. but i'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it all.

well, i guess that's all for now.
