i love writing. i write here....about totally random stuff. i write short stories and poems (though admittedly not much lately) and i keep a regular blog. the husband refers to that as the "real blog" or the "blog blog."

when he and i first started dating he asked permission to read it, which i found ridiculously sweet of him. truth is though, it was incredibly sensitive as well. he knows that my writing is more vulnerable than the majority of my spoken words. i am able to articulate more honestly and effectively when i have to think about words. the order in which i place them. seeing them on a paper or computer screen forces you to think about whether or not you are actually conveying what you wish to. i've always loved writing as a craft. an art. if i could quit my job and do anything i wanted for the rest of my life it would absolutely be to study and practice writing. literature. i just can't get enough of words.

anyway. i haven't blogged anywhere but here for the past 2 months. not really intentionally...but i suppose that i knew somewhere that i needed to take some time to be super introspective and see what was really going on with me. i have words for it now...but it seems that getting them out is going to be a bit harder than i anticipated.

oh well. it'll happen.

besides writing this weekend there are virtually no plans. the husband and i have an easter tradition of watching "shaun of the dead" with a bottle of champagne and that's about it. perhaps i'll get my hair done so that it's not looking like serious outgrowth. we shall see. i'm pretty stoked about having no real responsibilities this weekend.

have an awesome weekend!
