well shoot...

oh man oh man oh man. i've been bad at this. but a new year, a new me, a new opportunity to blog.

First things first, I missed my blog's first birthday. 

So happy belated birthday blog! I promise this year I'll be good to you. Second things second, I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten home from my internship and planned to eat dinner and then curl up with tea, a movie, and my computer and just blog away. Never happened. Clearly. I don't like "new years resolutions". I make the same every year...write more mail..take more pictures...run... but I shouldn't need a new year to promise to do those things. So I'm not going to resolve to blog more, but I will make every effort to do so. Luckily all my previous attempts to blog this new year have left me with lots of ideas for blog posts. so - here goes nothing...
