sitting here on a lazy saturday afternoon, which i haven't had the chance to do in quite some time now. been so busy with the onslaught of "real life"...working a lot of hours, exhaustion, holidays...not that it makes me unhappy, it's just a sweet reprieve to have this little bit of time to catch up. serenaded by horse feathers and the distant screaming of children in the apartment below...the christmas tree lights are on, my cat is lying nearby...i'm happy. life has been different, for sure, in just a few short months. finessing the apartment into shape...waking up with my dear Rickrolled by my side every day...being able to buy christmas presents for my family and friends again...things are good, and it's sublime in a sweetly banal sort of way.
my new camera finally arrived, i'll recap the past few weeks in photographic form. here we go...
i'm longing to shoot another set, i know which one i want to do, i've had the materials for months now. my body, on the other hand, is not ready for it, i've been feeling disgusted with myself physically and i desperately need to get back into shape. i have the tools, now i need to make the time...get myself on my wii fit for cardio, get back to yoga and pilates once the holiday rush is over, quit smoking, stop eating crap...it's been hard since i've been so tired lately. today, however, i shall push myself into some virtual step or something, work up a sweat, do a bunch of ab exercises, then get into the shower and make myself pretty for Rickrolled's family birthday dinner this evening. sounds like a plan to me.
figured this would be a long one, but hey, at least it had pictures to make it more interesting. 
i hope all is well with everyone, i do miss you all...was going to have a new tattoo for christmas to show off, but i have a feeling i'm going to be asking the parents for help with new tires instead. sigh...skidding off the road would be bad, kind of have to attend to that first. but we shall see. perhaps the old ones can still be salvaged, and ink could be back on the table.
back to updating the jewelry database for now...love and llamas to you all. 
How have things been lately?
