unable to create

last post: dec. 2008 - is that not one of the saddest things you've seen all day?

for me, not really. life is busy. or maybe life is not really worth typing about. either way, i find myself in a coffee shop in new mexico, working remotely and not really wanting to work. so where do i go? but to the blog i never update!

quick updates: i'm engaged. i'm happy. i've recently been able to go home to see my niece for the first time which was a great treat. i have finally gotten the boat shoes i've been debating to get over the past 2 years. i may have a slight addiction to golf. i also have continued my addiction to buying books when i get the chance BUT this time around, i am actually reading them.

i have found that my close friends are pretty much family because they are happy with you in times of happy news and that i really need to work on my family ties and really putting the time and effort into getting to know them as i once did. i see how hard it is for family to be happy for you when you really are not close with them - why try and fake it? it would be nice to change that. distance and procrastination make it hard - but those are really just excuses.
