it's been awhile....

cue britney spears!
actually no, cue the scorpions, motley crue, warrant, quiet riot and whatever other hairmetal bands you want, because that's all i've been listening to as of late.
as you can probably tell by my playlist haha
i've also been watching a bunch of documentaries about hair metal, an extravagant, excessive, crazy part of a the decade i was born in, where the only thing bigger than the guys' hair were their....nevermind....
moving on....i got brave and weighed myself today after off-and-on weeks of "dieting" and letting the fit hit the shan....and i haven't gained a single pound. nope, not a one. i sort of stared at the scale, lol'd, and then got really annoyed because my perception has been so out-of-whack that i expected to find that i'd gained five to ten pounds in the last month or so. but apparently the days i've "done well" have balanced out the days i haven't....this week i'm getting a gym pass so i can take the focus less off of calories and put it more into actual fitness again...i want to eat whole foods like fruits and veggies and not be worrying about calories because that's just absurd. so there you have it.
i've been brainstorming a lot on a new story idea and i'm really, really excited to begin. taking my wise sister's advice and really trying to find my "voice" with this one...it will be interesting to see what kind of voice comes out after the last couple of years with very little writing at all...the story idea is pretty dang badack though, so let's hope i can do some justice.
in finding "inspiration" for my story, i'm planning a few things like a visit to the salt flats, going up AF canyon and hopefully! going to a gallery display of a photographer i really, really love in september....
all for now...
