Is This Real Life?

Woah... where am I? Is this real life? Oh look, it's my blog. It's been a while since I've seen this place. 

WARNING: Here's the part where I make excuses for letting this rot by the wayside.

So, you know, work's been really busy and stuff. This is true actually, I've been in the middle of a mega project since last August and I'm just now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's my job though so who am I kidding? I'll be back working on something all consuming again very soon. But it pays the bills and I like it so I really can't complain. However some aspects of my job can affect my mood and, I guess the best way to put is, get in my head a little bit. 

My job involves a bit of writing... oh and bosses of course. And every once in a while that means bosses who don't always like my writing. Sometimes when that happens, I have no motivation to go home and write about things that amuse me, the projects I've attempted or the stupid outfit I've dressed my dog in. That makes me feel discouraged/annoyed/sad (remember Feelings Statements everyone? Or was I the only one that needed to have one-on-one time with my guidance counselor?) but it IS real life and I need to get the hell over it. So on that note, I'm going to try harder... for me. Because I like it here and I think that there are three of you out there that like me here too. So maybe let's just talk about what's happened since my last post where I bitched about someone not liking the Christmas card I made. I don't handle criticism well at all, do I?

So now back to irregularly scheduled programming. Here's a little update about the last year and it involves a lot of beer.

JANUARY

We Drank Beer... In Charleston

At Coast Brewing Company

I'm not sure what you call this color... but it was gross and I wasn't happy about it.

Feeling better already. Except Josh looks like he's about to be eaten by the shadow monster.
