It's been a long long time
Oh I've been so remiss on LJ'ing, and I feel horrible about it. Because it does force me to write and record my life and such and it's also been a part of my life for so long, I don't want to give up. SO I WON'T.
Anyway, recently came back from our big second family trip! ITALY! Much like Germany in 2010, the whole family packed up and off we went to eat gelato three times a day, the most delicious pasta, learn more about balsamic vinegar than I ever thought possible, and prosciutto every morning! It was great! Rome was overhyped and the worst part of the trip, Tuscany was relaxing and beautiful, Cinque Terre was a nice detour (and also the scene of the "death march" in which I felt like I was going to die) and Florence was AMAZING! Mike and I went off to Vienna at the end for a few days while the rest of the family went to Venice (but we'd already been there) and that was great too. I REALLY like Germanic countries. Like. LOVE. :)
Anyway, am now babysitting the niece and nephew and am stealing a few moments to blog. Because I haven't done it in a while.
Still fangirling over Band of Brothers, still in love with my dog, still doing Kim's Convenience (off to Hamilton in about a week) and still writing every now and then. I have all these great ideas in my head...it's just really hard to get them down on paper (or on the screen for that matter) in a manner that is true to the images in my brain.
I'd like to expand more on the Italy trip throughout this evening, but I feel like creative juices flowing and I'm going to write until the hockey game and then see what happens.
