Its been a while

Ive claimed nothing in my life except for the fact that I am a terrible blogger and that has not changed.

It has been five months since I last blogged and nothing is really new in my life.  I have had a really great time since moving home.  I have been home for almost 7 months now and have had so many wonderful experiences.  I have spent a lot of time with my nephews, especially the oldest one.  We have "dates" where we go see a movie, hit the arcade, go to dinner and end at toys r us where I spend way too much money on him.  They're my favorite days!

My parents got a little fishing cabin on the upper Cuyahoga river and I have spent a few overnights there, drinking around the fire and fishing and I am so glad it's warming up so we can start rafting down the river!

I went to Hilton Head Island for a long weekend, and just spent the weekend in Pittsburgh, and I spent the entire month of March in Hong Kong for work.

I have been so incredibly blessed and am so proud of the life I have been given and the opportunities I am taking and seizing at every corner.

To be 28 and completely content with my life is extremely gratifying.  Would I like to find a nice suitable relationship? Absolutely.  Would I like to have a savings account built up to make myself more comfortable? For sure.  But living independently, single, and happy is more than anybody could ask for.

And as if that is not enough to be happy about? There are only 31 days until my identical cousin and my favorite aunt are here in town!  I am just thrilled and cant wait to spend the days drinking wine, making silly vines and giggling and getting into trouble with my twin cousin! <3 <3 <3

The one with all the television

I haven't been feeling well this week, I came home from work early twice, and I stayed home one day.  Being sick is miserable but the good thing about it is that you get to stay home and watch television.  At least that's what I remember being good about staying home.

It turns out, daytime television is now TERRIBLE!  There was nothing that I wanted to watch on unless you're into infomercials, religious television and endless episodes of a baby story.  I watched a million episodes of friends, a few episodes of golden girls, a few episodes of i love lucy, a few episodes of boy meets world and a myriad of home improvement television and it dawned on me: I am so attached to older shows I have zero room for new shows!

I have a fear of getting attached to new television characters and dedicating more of my time to shows.

I can watch HGTV all day. House Hunters, Cousins on Call, Love it or List it, Property Virgins, For Rent, etc etc etc.  I can watch Food Network endlessly... Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, Chopped, and all of the cooking shows... I can watch reruns that I have seen a hundred thousand times over, but I cant give myself to a new cast.  I'm considering seeking therapy.  Is it time for me to start seeing other people? Is it time for a new drama or comedy in my life?  How will I ever know if I don't leave Central Perk? HOW WILL I KNOW?

Like most things in life, I am not very good at blogging.  I really try, but ultimately I just really suck.  I can't commit and I find myself painfully boring.  That being said, the one thing in my life I know I am consistently good at, is being an Aunt. My nephews are extremely spoiled by me and I love them dearly, and on Monday, I got to add TWO MORE to the list.  My sister in law had twins on Monday, January 14th.   Yesterday, the babies got to go home and I am so excited everyone is home and healthy.

Jacob Eric and Lucas Webb are going to be loved and spoiled just the same way that Aidan Nathaniel and Gavin Andrew are.

While Alice and Danny were in the hospital all week, I spent the evenings watching the older boys. One who is 7 and one who is 18 months.  They are insanely wild and hilarious and downright exhausting.  The best part about being an aunt is that at the end of the day you give them back, but this week I kept them and I have got to say, My hats off to all of the mothers out there!

I have spent the past 10 years telling people that having kids was not in my life plan, and the past 7 days teetering back and forth between oh my gosh they're so cute I can totally have kids, and "Oh my god, if they dont fall asleep soon I will literally throw myself into the frozen lake".... I think what it boils down to, is my life plan remains in tact... kids just arent in the cards for me right now.  I am extremely happy being an aunt and loving on these little boys without full responsibility of them.

Welcome to the world Jake & Luke, I look forward to years and years of fun and spoiling!
