What've You Been Up To?

Sooooo. It's been a while. Things have been hectic around here - good busy, but busy nonetheless. So, a recap. A quick one, mostly boring, but a reminder that I'm still here and will eventually return to posting on the regular.

- I watched the first season of The Jersey Shore. I felt appropriately ashamed of myself but couldn't stop.
- I started commuting back and forth between Lancaster and D.C. for a job, and it's going quite well. I only see the boyfriend twice a week, but still.
- We're happy. Like, really really happy. There was a patch there, not exactly rough, but a bit bumpy, but all is as it should be now. We're still planning on eventually being married by Elvis, and I'm still planning to wear a red dress.
- I finally got rid of a really toxic person in my life and I made some amazing friends in D.C. I feel I have a family here now.
- So, of course, I have legitimate job leads in both Pittsburgh and Lancaster.
- Lancaster is, shockingly, ahead in the running for where I want to live if I don't live here. It's funny how your hometown can go from being the most hated place ever to the place where it's familiar and comfortable and nice that the guy in the coffee shop remembers your order every day. It's even nicer when you could get a three bedroom for the amount that you pay now and have a backyard for your as yet unpurchased giant dog. I love giant dogs.
- I'm running a half marathon in November. I might be crazy, but at least it finally made me quit smoking for real.
- I'm fully obsessed with Glee, despite my intense loathing of musicals, and glad that Emma Pillsbury, my fave fictional guidance counselor, has finally validated my cardigan habit.

There's most likely a lot more, but three-ish months is hard to remember all at once. For now, that seems good enough. And I really do feel bad about the Jersey Shore thing.
