rebeccmeister | Why hello, saddle.

Well, it's time to get back in the saddle after a very nice break. I was a bit of a bum and didn't see all of the people that I should have seen, and didn't do all of the things I should have done (Olympic Sculpture Park? Oh yeah). But you know what? I think I really needed the break, and I managed to finish one book and read two others, which was quite a nice change of pace indeed. I also had a chance to think in depth about the sorts of projects I hope to accomplish in the near future, which was also good.

I would like to sarcastically thank Alaska Airlines for making me late back to PHX and causing me to miss the very last bus to my house by approximately 10 minutes. Instead, I had to pay an overpriced shuttle fare. Nasty Bastards. But I made it home, and my cat pretended that she had missed me for about five minutes before resuming her usual catty behavior--a good indicator that she was quite well cared-for in my absence (shout-out to D for that one!). Even better than all that, when I got home I discovered a package from my aunt and uncle that contained all sorts of delectable goodies: crumpets, english muffins, a scone, a cinnamon roll, and some delightful tea and jam. It's almost like my family knows what I like! (: Combined with the pile of edibles I brought back with me, I have a large stash of nibbling items.

It's a bit of a relief to be getting back into a routine. Now that routine just needs to include a lot of writing--and proposal-writing at that, none of this silly blogging business. About that.
