It's been nearly a month since I blogged last, and I've come to think that getting away from a blog is a little bit like skipping confession. The longer you put it off, the harder it is to get back to it because the pile of items to share just keeps growing. So I have decided I will recommit to my blog - though I am going to put off that confession thing a little bit longer.
A lot can happen in a month. I've made some progress with some of my New Year's Resolution - two more books read - and I've digressed on some others - the trip to Denver is off.
I attended two bachelorette parties, a bridal shower, a wedding and flew to Indianapolis for a weekend.
I got my first French manicure before the wedding and it lasted less than 24 hours before it started to chip.
I wore a floor-length strapless gown for the first time and I hope to avoid ever doing it again.
I had my hair curled for the first time since junior high school and though people told me it looked amazing, the can of hairspray to keep it in place meant it didn't feel so amazing.
I served as maid of honor for the first time at my cousin's wedding and I think I did a decent job of being supportive of the bride up to the very last minute - my last duty of the night was making sure her teenage son made it back to his room and didn't get too crazy for the night. My highlight of the night was giving my maid of honor toast, which made everyone laugh and tear up, my goal while I was writing it.
I've won two awards, one from the California Newspaper Publisher's Association Better Newspaper Contest (second place for investigative reporting), and another from the Association of California School Administrators, District 10 (for media coverage of the year.
All in all, it's been a pretty good month. I will expand on some of these items in the coming weeks - though I do have one more trip to Indiana planned at the end of the month for the other wedding in which I am part of the bridal party.
