hey blog

blog, 

this is happening right now. can you believe this is happening?

it's. happening.

there are two reasons i've been gone so long:

1. i usually blogged in the evening/nighttime and with my 5:30am wake-up call i am usually passed out by around 10pm. looking a little like this:

annnnnd 

2. sometimes blogging can feel a bit "look at me! look at me!" and you can only take so much of that you know? 

i mean-- don't get me wrong-- i think i am pretty great 

but unplugging has felt pretty good

 not to mention i had more time to focus the present

or watch more netflix

you know....whichevs...

but, this is my only journal of any kind

and i do love to write

and the swim season is quickly coming to a close

so here i am! in 2014! back to blogging it up!

xxx, b.
