In my defense...

I want to start by acknowledging that I appear to have done what countless aspiring bloggers have done before me: "I'm entering a transitional period in my life and have no idea what to do with myself!" 
Solution: Start a blog! 
So I went and created the site, posted an introductory post, and promptly dropped off the face of the Earth. What can I say? Winter happened... but it was never my intention to fully abandon this project. As the days got shorter, I quickly devolved into a crazy spinster who spends the cold months on her couch in a fleece robe crafting a variety of knitted items for her relatives. Silver lining is that now I have a TON of stuff to share on the blaaag! 
It was my plan all along...
So in short, I have a lot of projects coming up as long as I can stay motivated (and more importantly defrosted) enough as we enter the post-holiday slump.
See you in a few months when I emerge from my hibernation and promise to be a better blogger... just kidding... maybe.
In the meantime, here's a gerbil.
