That Blogger Girl

Well, it’s been quite a bit of time since I last updated this blog. Just about almost two weeks. As you can tell I’ve been quite busy living life off the internet, working a lot, and spending some time getting things together on my own time away from the computer. I just really haven’t had much time to blog and didn’t have enough passion flowing through me regarding it, so I felt like taking most of December off was a good idea. Additionally, I’ve been wanting to redo some things over here on the blog including features, posting, and the layout, so I felt it best that I get that all together and re-launch with a new feel on January 1. I’ll probably be blogging a little bit every now and then, but all major changes and inputs will be coming in the new year.

As far as a little catch up with what’s been going on, Wednesday will be the official marking of 60 days without alcohol. I can’t believe I’ve gotten thus far. In celebration of it, I got a new tattoo of a broken shot glass that says ‘Last Call’. (see above) It was done by Brian at Magic City Tattoo in Boca Raton. I am so in love with it. It’s such an awesome reminder of this journey that I’m on to better myself and my lifestyle. I’ve lost around 12lbs since giving up the alcohol, which is also a really exciting thing. I don’t have much more to go until I reach my goal weight, now just to get back into shape. I’ve been working on purging my apartment and closet, there is just so much excess piling up and I need to get rid of it. It’s really hindering my organization and desire to want to keep my place in order.

Unfortunately, not everything has been all unicorns and whimsy over here. On Saturday night I was put in an extremely stressful situation, but I’m getting through it. My car was broken into and my purse was stolen. Inside my purse was my iPhone, my wallet (with waaaaaay too much cash), and some of my favorite lipglosses and memories. It was definitely a bit of a setback mentally, but I’m trying to not let it defeat me. I’ll be getting my phone back sometime this week, but to be honest it’s been a really lovely thing to be so disconnected from the internet. I haven’t felt anxious or on edge that I couldn’t check my phone while I’m out. It’s actually quite refreshing. However, not gonna lie….I do miss instagram. But other than that, it really makes me question whether or not to delete my Facebook and Twitter apps from my new phone. But, we’ll see.

Additionally, mercury retrograde has really effected me. I wish I could say that I got through it with flying colors this season, but sadly that wasn’t the case. I think that is another major reason that I’ve been showing no interest in blogging, etc. Mercury Retrograde really fucks with me.

However, all in all, I’m really looking forward to 2012. This year was a great one, but had a lot of ups and downs energetically and creatively for me. It was a bit of a rollercoaster. On the upside though, I feel like I’m finally settling into myself and things will be on the up and up from here on out.

That’s all for now. . . happy Monday.

PS. -  ‘5 Things You Should Know Before Dating a Journalist’ is the best article I’ve read all day. I cannot stop laughing. It’s pretty much the most on point description of myself ever. Also, ‘5 Things You Should Know Before Dating a Blogger’ is another great read.

How absolutely ridiculous is that photo? I couldn’t help it, I was just oh so excited about having my bangs back in my life. Yes, that’s right folks. I’ve cut my bangs again, and I don’t know how I went so long without them. It’s like I re-found my long lost soulmate. Seriously. My baby forehead missed them oh so much. It’s just difficult to have bangs in the Summer, so now that the weather is finally cooling off, I can wear them 24/7. Now I just need to get one of those little mini hair irons to keep them on point at all times.

I got Hello Kitty foot pajamas today. So, I guess you could say my life is basically complete now.

Well guys, apparently it’s December. Only a month away from a brand new year, 2012. Pardon my french, actually no. Do not pardon it. What the fuck? Where did this year go? Can we slooooow down time just a little bit, please? Thank you.

This weekend is going to be a hectic whirlwind. For those of you not clued in, it’s Art Basel. Duh. Only one of the best times of year down here in Miami. Lots of art, art, and more art, and well parties and music. Free booze too. Tons of it. Too bad I won’t be cashing in on that though. Ah well. I swear, I think I’m gonna pull an Alex Dupre and start asking friends to take shots while I bite the lime.

I still have so much to blog about from Thanksgiving weekend and the holidays. But, alas yesterday I found zero time to get my blog on, so maybe in the next post. I’m forever behind. I swear that’ll change in 2012.

More importantly, can we discuss this beauties that showed up on my doorstep yesterday? I’ve been sleeping in them ever since. No really, I passed out for a nap and still had my shoes on. Over the top? I agree. Anyway, these lovelies were a special gem that I’ve had my eye on for quite some time now. Over a year I believe. And my super rad friend found them online during Black Friday for so hella cheap. I couldn’t resist. Plus, they are my official 30 days booze free gift to myself. Treat Yo Self 2011 rules my life.

As per usual, I’m not really sure what I’m rambling on about right now, the words are just flowing out onto the blog post. Haha. I have so much that I want to re-do on the blog, but to start in December? Or just kick it all off on January 1? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I’d like to re-pierce my nose. Did I already mention that here? Well, regardless, I still want to do it. Maybe next week.

On a last note, I need to shut down the shopping. ASAP.
