It's been a while. So much has transpired. The world has changed drastically...my personal world and the world at large. I've learned a lot but not enough, so the journey continues. I've gotten married, also known as the longest slumber party, with no parental supervision, ever! It's been fun, and exhausting, and back to fun again. There's so many things about men that I thought I understood, until I got married. I believe, at this point, that all men are related to Shrek. I've also had a child, and there is a ton I thought I knew prior to this occurrence but my goodness, was I wrong. There's so much information out there on pregnancy and the life you lead afterward, but not enough on breastfeeding. That shit hurts! No one told me that!! Just like no one told me that New York is hot and humid as hell in the summer. My first summer in New York...well it wasn't really a summer at all. I left! The weather was a shock to my system and I mentally had not signed up for that mess. It's now been 10 years, and I've committed to this temperamental lover. I've realized that I'm just as temperamental, so maybe we're made for each other. I don't know what prompted me to even find this blog that I couldn't quite commit to years ago, but I'd like to try now. I'd actually like to be more consistent in all areas of my life. So...here's to Day 1 of that!
