Today is special. Today is the day this hiatus ends and I return to blogging. I mean it this time. I suppose I've been on burnout. It happens. I've been so busy, and tired, and it's difficult to find time and motivation to think about something to write about. So, here's a little catch up of what you've missed. Which isn't much. Trust me.

My (not so new anymore) job is fantastic. I've never looked back about moving on, and it keeps me challenged. I'm learning more and more everyday, and the nature of the job means that it should always be that way. I'm a person who thrives at learning and improving what I do. This job does that for me. The rules and regulations are always changing, so there's continuous adjustments to your thinking. You can't ever get comfortable with what you know, because tomorrow things can change.

Here's why I'm tired. All the time. I get up at 5:30 and need to leave my house by 7:00 just to get to work by 8:00. Usually, it's not a problem, and I'm there with 10 minutes to spare. But on days like today, it's a whole other story. That story is rain. It's rained all day, which means Oklahoma drivers freak out. They lose all driving sensibility and can't remember their route to work. Well, when this happens it usually causes me to be late. Anyway, after the workday ends, I leave at five and fight more traffic. The traffic coming home is definitely worse than the traffic on the way to work. I generally get home right around 6:00, change clothes then make dinner. By the time husband and I eat dinner and let it settle, it's 7:30 and then we're off to The Y for a workout. It's 10:00 by the time we get home and I'm too tired to bother with a blog post.

Ok - so now you know why I haven't been blogging, and now I'll fill you in about what I've been up to. Honestly, not much. I lead a boring life. I'm reading now. I unwillingly got on this Twilight bandwagon, and I fought kicking and screaming, but in the end, the Vampires were nothing I imagined them to be, and in turn, they stole my heart. Lame, I know. But lame is what I do. I do manage to find time to watch my "shows". Geeze. I feel like my grandmother by saying that. She used to have her shows. But hers were Daytime Soaps. Mine are smut "reality" shows. Big Brother? check. Rachel Zoe? check. Project Runway? check. Survivor? check. Amazing Race? check, check. Pawn Stars? yes please. Ice Road Truckers? yes. Good grief, it looks like I watch a ton of tv. Really though, it's just on while I do other things. Reading, doing computer things, craftology.... I'm a multi-tasker!

It also happens to be my birthday today. It's going to be a great year. It also happens to be Sooner Football season. Which may not be such a great year. But, what are ya gonna do?

Anyway, there's a brief catch-up and I'll be back on Friday!
