A fine day.

We woke up to the sound of our smoke detector chirping above us in the bedroom. Time for a new 9 volt. John to the rescue! I caught some more z's as he went about his husbandly duty. :)

We rolled out of town around 2:00 and headed to Dudley for lunch at Eighty Ates! We had a leftover $25 gift card AND a coupon for a free appetizer that expired 7/30/10. Our waitress changed it to 7/30/11 and we had some free boneless buffalo wings, bam! If you haven't gone there yet, I highly recommend it. We've only gone twice, but the food has been really delicious. I got the Portobella Chicken today with broccoli and everything was yummy and cooked to perfection!

After that, we headed up to Showcase Cinemas Worcester North and saw The King's Speech. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen! I love a movie that makes me FEEL, and this movie did that throughout. I laughed, I got teary-eyed, I felt compassion, sorrow, joy... If you get a chance, please see the movie, I guarantee you will enjoy it a ton!

We're getting ready for the deep-freeze here. John is going to cook up a batch of Atkins-friendly chili tomorrow and we're gonna snuggle up in our little Hobbit hole and stay warm! I am hearing a range of numbers as far as how many inches and/or feet of snow we are supposed to get this week. God, I really hope it's not going to be 2'+! If so, there's no way I'm venturing out of this house. I do love New England and I do love the snow, but I don't like moving the snow...ha! Lucky for me, I have a landlord who clears the driveway and front walk and a hubby who clears the snow off my car. :D

Here I go again!

I'm going to start blogging again. I blogged like crazy in 2007-2009 and then life threw some stuff at me that caused me to stall. There I've been, sitting idly, waiting for things, life to feel normal again.

It still doesn't.

But I must start some kind of forward motion because I'm honestly sick of the scenery where I sit. So, where am I going? Well...

In the immediate future - nowhere fast. I'm still contemplating going back to school but it won't be until next year.

I've just been lost since September 2009. I'm stuck in a dead-end job making shit for money and the kicker is, I'm not particularly eager to leave. I really enjoy my job and my coworkers but the reality is, I should & could be doing much more. The job was only supposed to be temporary until our son was born...then I was going to be a stay-at-home mom AND do some work at home for the dealership. Then, everything went away.

There has been no forward motion. A numb that comes with time masks grief but I wonder what damage it continues to do under the surface.

This blog was not supposed to be like this. I want to start fresh and talk about something other than:

-Anxiety
-Depression
-Miscarriage

And yet, I find it difficult to find much else inside here. Where have I gone?
