Sitting in my new green sweatshirt, content with things....

well. I have taken an almost one year hiatus from this blog. In fact, I am only writing now because I have found a renewed want to blog again. The reason for this renewed longing you ask? It's my birthday. But that is only half of the story. It is my birthday and I just turned 24 and I got a copy of the movie Julie & Julia, which just came out today, from my dearest sister. (Along with some delicious Hershey's kisses that are Irish cream flavored and that my sister and mother have decided are disgusting which I am perfectly okay with because that means all the more for me) the movie is about Julia Child and her life in France and her cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and Julie Powell, a writer who decided to cook her way through that cookbook in one year and blog about the experience. Watching the movie makes me want to do two things: cook my way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and begin to blog again.

Since I last wrote, not a lot has happened on one hand, life has happened on the other. I am in the process of doing the Peace Corps, even though I haven't heard from them in months. I am a GSA at Target, which is the equivalent of an assistant manager. Those are the semi good things. The more unfortunate things: I lost two men whom I was close with, my grandpa and my pastor, within a month of each other. Both were sick, one with uncontrollable infection, the other with cancer. Still doesn't make it any more fun.

There. now you are pretty much caught up on an entire year of my existence. Man, I need to do something with myself.

The Holidays are over....

So the holidays are over and we are back to "normal". I don't really have a lot to say. I heard from quite a few of my Hong Kongers. That was really cool, I am glad that they wrote to me. I miss them. There just isn't anything particularly interesting going on. Too bad.
