i’m back. i know. I KNOW.

i’m not going to recap the last couple of months – i think it’s better to just move on. there’s been some sadness, some big decisions, and most importantly now, a return to blogging. so, you didn’t get a recap of 2009 according to LBN – clearly worse things have happened (like ted kennedy’s senate seat going to the republicans – i can just see EDDIE shaking his head with disappointment). instead, let’s get started with where things are at right now:

i’m currently sitting in starbucks. yes, it’s a wednesday at 12:30. i’ll leave you to day dream all the gory details (its not that dramatic but we can pretend, right?)…but in the end, my return to blogging does coincede with me hanging up my camp director hat. *shock and awe*.  dream job?  well, at one point it was my dream job, or it could have been my dream job.  i don’t know what my dream job is right now.  my dreams include doing work that i care about, but also doing work that doesn’t control my ENTIRE LIFE.  my dream includes being an active part of my family too.  and so, shalom dream job.

never one to sit on my ass and do nothing (come on people, watching tv totally counts as doing something!) i’ve recommitted myself to exploring SF, getting our apartment in order (let’s be honest, its out of control), spending time with NANI and working real part-time for my secret job, which isn’t a secret at all, it’s just when you are working more than full time as a camp director, AND dealing with life in general, the couple of hours you put in a week to a side project just don’t get talked about all that much.

to “celebrate” my new life, ABN and i enjoyed pad thai on our couch on friday night (i know, PAR-TAY!), which culminated in me falling asleep in said pad thai.  this was evidenced by the fact that when i woke up in my bed on saturday morning (how the hell did i get there?) i had dried pad thai all over my pajama shirt (HOT!).  all of this just proves that deciding to leave the world of camp director behind was the right decision for me; for us.  clearly i was exhausted!  did i mention i got paid out for 12 unused days of vacation?  what an incredible surprise?  and how sad that i had 12 unused days of vacation!

i do get that with this “new” life i will need to make the extra effort to interact on a daily basis with actual people and not just settle for the people inside my computer screen (it’s a long story, i’ll get into it more eventually, i’m sure).  luckily i have mahjong to keep me going.  we played last night, at our place and since i left the blogging world i have accquired a PINK mahj set (thanks mom!).  i can’t think of a better way to spend a tuesday night (well, maybe i could hang on to a couple more quarters).
