1. 3 Years Later... Basically An Epilogue

So.  Sooo.  My last post was basically three years ago.  Well, two and a half.  Why am I deciding to post now?  *shrug*  So much has changed.

Let us begin with the hilarious irony that is my post entitled Starbucks.  About how much I loathe coffee.  Well, you see, now I drink it.  All the time.  I used to despise it, and now I only tolerate it with so much creamer that it's basically milk.  I can't drink it black.  That may never come.  Sorry not sorry, black coffee.  There's a reason that I drink coffee now, and hold your breath..... because of a boy.  Okay let it out in a big, gooey sigh.

Actually, 2016 has been a monumental year for me.  I am getting married in September, and I am making a career change.  Unfortunately, it's not because my writings have taken off and I am signing a book deal with a publisher, no.  I have tried for many months to submit my Unicorn's Song story to various agents and haven't gotten a lead yet.  However!  that's not to say I won't keep trying, because who really knows when you will catch someone on the right day (as my fiance has said, encouragingly.)

I have been studying since February to become a Real Estate Agent in Texas.  I know, I will miss the little art gremlins, but I also want to try something completely different than anything I've ever done before!  God, for a second I was in college again, but this time with a full time job also. People that actually get a degree while raising a family and working, I salute you.  Because I only have fur-babies and a man-baby that I take care of.  (Just kidding, he's great.)    

Wow.  So, it seems as if I won't really have time to write much in the future.... I have my hand in several cookie jars.  Wedding, business, art, blah, blah, blah.  But perhaps I will review the book that I put down for like, YEARS, Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee.  (It hasn't been years.  But don't even think that I have read an ounce of a word for pleasure since I started studying to get my RE license.)  In any case, I am definitely out of practice with that.  So.  Too many cookie jars.  Lots of change.  My life is one fluid galaxy that is never the same.

It's been great talking to you again.
