Happy New Year!
Yes, I know that January is nearly over. But it’s not yet–so I have a few more days before wishing someone a Happy New Year because my procrastination is in full swing becomes embarrassing (and even when it is embarrassing, I just drink more and ignore it).
You gotta love friends: I have been nudged by nearly all of them about me neglecting all of you–ranging from a passive “I don’t think I’m getting your email updates anymore” to aggressive “Why the fuck aren’t you writing” comments.
I know, I know! The truth is, I have been writing–just of the book (gasp! yep, I said it) variety. It is a travel humor book: a collections of stories I have accumulated over the last 25 years of traveling. I have 2 more stories to type up and then I think my very first rough draft is done! Also, because apparently I’m a glutton, I’ve started piecing together a cookbook, which will be a collection of favorite recipes.
Apparently, I like collections.
Regarding the blog, I could apologize and proffer promises of a “new year, new me bullshit” but we all know that’s not me (well, the promising yes–just not the doing!)–and in the spirit of Sunday Comics, found this little gem on Pinterest (because aside from Netflix, what better way is there to procrastinate?!?!?!?!).
Happy, Uh, New Year!
