Not posting for a while is kind of like taking too long to email a friend back (of which I have way to much experience with.) You keep meaning to write but every day/week/month you wait, all the things you have to cover just grow exponentially. The more you have to write, the harder it is to find the time to write until you either never write or you break down, skip all the fun details, say “life has been busy”, and start from scratch. I am trying to fight the urge to do either one of these things.
I really do have stuff I want to share. The summer was crazy….I moved!, started a new job!, went to China!, sewed 3 skirts + 3 shirts+ 1 dress!, started a new fitness plan!, became roommates housemates with my parents!, frogged and casted on again for the carp!, watched the 1st season of Big Bang Theory on DVD! (okay, so maybe I did have some time to blog.) Anyway, crazy times for me. When I move to another city I feel a little like I am hitting the reset button on my life. It is kind of an awesome/strange feeling. I like fresh starts for the same reason I like new year’s and birthdays. I like taking stock, making changes, and the promise of the unknown. But it takes a little time for me to feel comfortable in my skin, to settle. And even though this time I moved to a familiar place, I still felt unease that for me only calms with time. I miss my apartment and my supermarket and my neighborhood and my restaurants. But most of all, as my dear friend Shelley would say, I miss my people. (My Denver people that is, thankfully, I do have Salt Lake people that I don’t have to miss any longer.)
All this to say that thanks to this angst-y adjustment time, I have gotten out of the blogging habit. But, things are changing. Pieces are falling into place and it is starting to feel normal that I live here again. And of course…it is October. I LOVE October. Good things happen in October. So maybe it is my calming down life or the magical month of October that is bringing my blogging mojo back but either way, here I am, and I will be back soon with some fun news and maybe a peek at what little knitting I have gotten done.
Could it be cause October is your birthday month? Yes, exciting things, indeed!
October IS a wonderful month!
I’m glad you are back to blogging. Don’t keep me in suspense for too long about the “exciting things”!
So glad you are here. So so so glad. I love thought of a reset button.
so you’re in Bountiful then right? (well, NSL.) Are you going to the Golds? Where are you working out?
Gasp! Birthday! Why can’t I remember these things?! You have been really busy. And also a Noblog.
You Salt Lake people are ever grateful for your move back. Life wasn’t complete without regular doses of Erin.
And the blog world wasn’t complete without regular doses of Girl Who knits.
Welcome back, love.
Oops, I meant YOUR Salt Lake people. Some editor I am.
Welcome back!! You’ve been missed =).
I am protesting. We want you back here. Oh wait, we will at least get to SEE you and HEAR you and TALK ALL NIGHT LONG WITH YOU here in less than a month. Joy.
Welcome back to blogland! Would love to hear all about what you’ve been up to. China – wow, so amazing! And yup…. October is one of the best months of the year, hands down… i love it too
Good to hear from you again!
So nice to read you again. I like your thoughts on fresh starts, birthdays and stuff. I think like that too!
welcome back to the blogosphere, my blog reel hasn’t been the same since you last wrote
I was going to demand pictures, but that would be hypocritical of me since I have yet to post pictures of my projects…
oh, and don’t you just love the big bang theory? it’s my new favorite show
Have you seen the mentalist?
Welcome back to SLC, Erin! Hope you’re enjoying your new job!
I’m so glad you are back!!
Erin, I miss you and love you. Happy birthday! I wish we could go eat at Smashburger to celebrate. Did you hear I get to see you in Nov? I get to see all my people, it makes me happy every day.
it was a very crazy summer, and I’m in a different time zone. I too have totally gotten out of the blogging habit. Glad to have you back girl, you where missed!
Welcome back! It is nice to hear from you again.
Welcome back, and I look forward to hearing all about your adventures. I hope you are right that October is a month of new beginnings.
don’t you EVER stay away this long again.
i mean it.
Can’t wait to hear all about your adventures! Congratulations on all the exciting changes!
Glad to see you’re posting again! We miss you in Colorado! (I even went to SmashBurger in your honor . . . who knew that rosemary on french fries tasted so good?)
