Well, at least this blog is. I know, you've been wondering, where has she gone? Stop your tears, my friends, I've been right here the whole time. Standard Bear is on it's way to getting it's own fancy new website and so I'm getting the blog as a hand-me-down. The kicker is, I don't think I can change the URL. Maybe I can, but I feel like my mother when she first got a microwave. I probably need my brother to show me which buttons to press and where, like he showed my mom how to overcook the broccoli. Meanwhile I'll just keep clicking on things till I figure out what they do. Right now, for example, my face is rather large and kind of aggressive, but hey, maybe I'm making a statement. Like, I really like my hat, A LOT. That's right, real ipod headphones. Yea. Though full disclosure I'm now using $12 ones from Duane Reade and they work just as well. I just look a little less cool, and make a few less statements as I walk down the street.
I've had a whole lot of livin' since last I've blogged, and I'm not even gonna try to catch up. I will say that the summer flew by, though not without a trip through Cali (San Fran, Yosemite and family in San Diego) and two weekends in the Fingerlakes (one for swimmin', one for leaf watchin'); my birthday happened (again!) with a mere two parties of Sals doing. My cooking/baking friends created a memorable bash that I still occasionally dream of, but first we had brunch. And a lot of cake.
It was Thanksgiving 5 days ago, though I celebrated all weekend, and I regret nothing. One of the meals was in fact, very healthy. The other was not. I will say that both were delicious and totally satisfying. I will also say that I am no longer craving turkey or stuffing. And I'm about to go running. Again.
As much as it feels like it's still June (in feeling and outside temperature) I'm getting very excited for Christmas. I'd say Hanukkah in hopes of staying true to myself, but that would be dishonest - myself is not truthfully all that excited about Hanukkah. Let's be honest, it's not a big holiday - we only like it because it coincides with Christmas, and because our parents didn't want us to feel left out, they got us things. Cool things. So now December is thrilling for us too, but I'll give Christmas the credit that it's due. Also, my husband is Catholic (Athiest), so I get an actual Christmas with trees and everything.
Operation Christmas Tree and Hanukkah candles (because you know I make Sal stand there and hum along as I light our menorah) is a go!
