Back by popular demand...

I have been a very bad blogger as it’s been a while since my last post. I’ll try to give a few updates on my life for the past month and a half. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone so I’ll be brief and try to catch up as fast as I can to my current life.
Christmas and New Years were very enjoyable and I spent a lot of time running around to be with different families on both my side and my hubby’s. The highlight of all the festivities was probably the 2nd Annual Corner Ball Drop. Who needs NYC when you can have your very own “lighted” ball drop in your backyard? In short, my hubby and a few neighbors decided to create our own flag pole drop. We had a great party with wonderful food, great people and lots of memories. It’s sufficed to say a good time was had by all and I realized how lucky we are to have such a fabulous neighborhood.
January seemed to fly by. On break from my librarian gig at the college, I was only working part-time at my other job so I had a lot more free time. (I know you’d think I’d have been able to post SOMETHING but I was enjoying my rare personal time.) Towards the end of the month, we headed out of town for our annual business/pleasure trips. We spent a few nights in Atlantic City and came home winners (okay, it was only $12 but that was on top of all the money we had planned to spend but still returned with.) Then it was off for four days of sun in the Dominican Republic. We had been there before for a friend’s wedding and loved it. The beach was beautiful, the weather was warm and the drinks were cold. I hated to come back to the wintery weather of the Northeast.
Now I’m back to my daily grind – working from 10 to 3 at the library and 3 to 6 at the store. I’ve decided to keep weekends (for the most part) for me and not work. I’m trying to really embrace a new attitude and focus more on myself. I know I worry too much and need to take time for me. Last night I tried Yoga for the first time and really enjoyed it. It seemed like a nice way to relax and prepare for the week. I am planning on going once a week – at least through the spring when I can get outside more.
For now, that is where I am. In the upcoming weeks, I have a few things to start working on - mainly planning the bridal shower/bachelorette party for my little sis. It isn’t until May but if I start now, it will be much easier (and less stressful for everyone!) Hopefully my posts will become more regular again and I can really dive into the blogging world again.
Until next time,
Fabulous KT
