SO if you haven't noticed, i've been outta the blogging loop lately. and it's not because i'm depressed or anything. it's actually not that at all. every year when summer rolls around i find i start to feel incredibly better. not overly happy per se, but better. i can deal with my life more, i can get out of bed at a reasonable hour without wanting to punch someone in the face. i start to go for walks and do yoga and lift weights which in turn helps to make me feel even more good. as much as i hate the heat of the summer, i do love feeling like my life is livable. it's silly, but it's always a shocker to me every time. i know that i suffer harder with depression because of {SAD} but i guess i always forget how good i can feel. and since i've been feeling better with working out and all, i haven't been spending as much time on the computer. another plus, i suppose? i don't know, i've been pretty bored with blogging lately. i still read other blogs, but i don't feel the need to comment or post anything new in my life. there's nothing really to say, is there? i eat, work out, work, play with my kids, eat some more, work out some more and sleep. do i really need to blog about that? huh.
some things that have happened to me recently are:
-i bought a treadmill and i think i'm utterly in love with it. i hope it helps me feel just as good in the winter time as it does right now.
-i've been working alot lately. i'm now working 4 days a week. my kids are getting tired of playing at the gym all the time, but it's been good for me to get out and do something.
-i bought {THIS} dress on friday, and i wore it to church today. it made me feel like a rock star.
-i've been watching re-runs of ugly betty. how can that show not make you happy, i ask you?
-i experienced my first earthquake the other day. talk about a very strange experience. i'm very glad it was a small a one that it was. i don't think i'd like to experience a larger one.
-i had a frog crawl up my windshield while i was driving 45mph. a large frog that came literally out of nowhere. scared the crap out of me, and i felt rather responsible for the poor thing being flown up over the roof and onto what i can only imagine his death. i apologize to you little frog, but where the heck did you come from to begin with?
hope your summer has been just as good as mine has been. i'm hoping to keep the momentum up and continue to have a good winter this year as opposed to the absolute disaster of a winter i had last year. time will tell, i guess.
