baby steps...

“After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breath and reboot.”
-Carrie Bradshaw

OK, so for those of you with abandonment issues...apologies! my timeout turned into a mini-break, which turned into a vacation, which then turned into a complete denial of ever having had a blog...SO, let's just say i had to reboot, take stock and breath...i think i did and it was needed, but i missed you!

now, i'm working my way back into a routine and had hoped to be back sooner but, here i am and i am sifting my way through 1000+ posts in my google reader (really it stops counting after 1000 and i cannot NOT look!!) & i have wittled that number down under 200 this weekend. despite having starred posts to my hearts content, i couldn't figure out where to start tonight - so i will start with hello and then let the pressure be on for the rest of the week;)

p.s. did i mention that i checked "learning to blow glass" off my to-do list of life??!?!? it was RAD (!) and there will definitely be more to come on that subject.
