Hello internet world! Miss me? I've missed writing. Obviously not so much where I felt compelled to hop on and write, but more so in the way where I laid in bed and said to myself, "Hey, I should really post to my blog." But here I am! Finally doing it after so many months of silence.

I swear it's my priority to get on and blog more. And I know I say that all the time, but I'm extremely sincere about it this time. (No sarcastic comment on how that will not happen.)

Anyway! I figured I'd go ahead and fill y'all in on what's been happening in my life lately. Since I last posted, I've gotten a new job -- been there about ten weeks now -- at my old high school. I love it. LOVE. IT. I feel so much more free than I did at my last job. I love the staff that I work with, and a typical work day doesn't feel like a typical work day. Yes, sometimes it's a little stressful because I can get bombarded with a ton of work at once, and other times it's extremely relaxed because I have nothing to do. But I like that about it. It's never the same.

In the last few weeks I've been; 

• Teaching myself calligraphy. Well actually, it's more like faux-lligraphy, but it's fun! And pretty! 
• Singing a lot more. Like all the time. Which, if you know me, isn't much of a surprise. But it's probably been multiplied by ten. 
• Thinking about taking up guitar lessons. Well not formal lessons, more like me, a guitar, and YouTube videos. 
• Writing songs. Yes -- writing songs. Not very good songs, but songs nonetheless. 
• Writing period. I stopped writing for a little while, probably because I was just unhappy with where I was in my life. I lost muse and inspiration. But in the past few weeks, I've slowly been coming back to it. 
• Growing out my nails, and aside from the fact that they need to be painted, they look FABULOUS. 
• Trying, keyword trying, to go to church more. Got off track for a few weeks, but getting back in gear. 
• Looking up tons and tons of recipes that I want to try. Maybe I'll actually cook something. 
• Sorely missing Harry Potter. Call me whatever you want, but after seeing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them my heart hurts for all things HP. 
• Rocking around the Christmas tree, and playing with my new Silhouette Cameo machine! I've been obsessed with it since I got it for Christmas. I've been playing with it, reading up on tutorials, researching different things I can make with it. It's been my whole life for the past 48 hours and it's been amazing.
