currently, i am...
wondering how more than a year flew by. i was putting together a post on my birthday breakfast-for-dinner dinner (complete with a recipe for orange juice french toast!) and all of a sudden, it's 2013. how did this happen?
remembering how many good shows i've been to these last 18 months: radiohead, heartless bastards, 35 denton music festival (dum dum girls, thee oh sees, built to spill and more), neon indian, eisley, eleanor friedberger, burning hotels, austin psych fest (times two!) (the black angels, wooden shjips, dead meadow, brian jonestown massacre, psychic ills and more), florence + the machine, yann tiersen, m83, the octopus project, sufjan steven's christmas spectacular, bombay bicycle club, best coast, and the seriously life-changing sigur ros (see photo above).
calculating how many miles i've driven across and back and up and down texas in the last 365 days. total: approximately 3,000.
marveling at the fact that i only read 11 books last year. but i've already completed 25 this year, so that's an improvement.
realizing that maybe i should still switch out watching tv (well, netflix-on-iPad-watching) before bed with reading. (but have you seen orange is the new black??)
missing estate sales. i've had a few mornings of estate sales with my sister over the past few months, but nothing else.
disbelieving that my niece, who was born when i was 14, is starting her sophomore year in college next month.
loving that i met andrew mccarthy & alex maas and christian bland this year. and in actual real life, i've met many new and wonderful people.
accepting that i need to figure out how to de-stress. being 32 was not my thing; 2012 was not my year. 33 is so much better; 2013 is so much kinder.
laughing at the fact that i originally drafted this post on 05.17.12. ha!
understanding, after writing it all out, how months have flown by: life is busy.
hoping to be back in the swing of things soon.
