I want to apologize for my hiatus and briefly explain that the last two months er so I was experiencing a brief bout with the Winter Blues. I went through the sniffles, the bitterness of Minnesota's cold temperatures (and the seasonal depression that comes along), plus the meandering pains of the holidays. On a more positive note, the last two months were restful and full of snuggles. I truly believe taking care of oneself is the number one thing a person can do. I could have pushed out blog content, it wouldn't have been thoughtful or thought provoking because I was in a place of self-stagnancy. I worked through a few things, started organizing my life in a new way and with purpose, even my closet looks semi-cleanly. Now the only thing that is blue about me is my hair.

Never in my life have I had the urge to color my hair an unnatural color. Yeah, I've done red peekaboos and such, but never have I done anything as drastic as I did last Thursday. All I do know is that one day I was perusing the Hive's Facebook page and the next there I was in the chair with Felicia; We chatted about life and all of a sudden my hair was a turquoise, blue, green, mermaid-y color. I am in love with my hair! I still don't know what made me do it, but I'm glad I did. THANKS FELICIA!
In the last few months I have been reading copiously; I've been keeping my head down, haven't blogged, haven't really gone out at all. I've been doing my best to be financially responsible, when I spend money it's on books and healthy food. Books and healthy food are my style but head down, concentrated demeanor is sooo not me. But alas, while I was fighting through winter's cold temps, holiday pains, the sniffles and a few other personal situations my literature intake has increased to an admirable amount. I have always been an avid reader, but the last few years have been more about online media than words printed on a page in a book.
I feel like I have regained a part of myself that was missing. Books were a huge part of my upbringing, my mom and I read books together every night before bed until I was at least 12. I am so glad that books have returned to me with vengeance. I miss being in school, the purpose that comes with being a student but books are the answer to not enrolling and accruing more student loan debt.
