Where I've Been

For whatever reason, you seem to be interested in my incessant, foul-mouthed blathering. Don't you have anything better to do? Why haven't I been blogging, you demand...  I've been busy, ok?  Where have I been?  Well, let me tell you where I haven't been...

I haven't had the complete mental breakdown that I keep threatening to have yet never seem to have the guts to have.  And while generalized anxiety and an almost constant state of debilitating perfectionism run rampant in my family, we have this uncanny and annoying ability to keep our heads above water and never go to the very darkest place where we actually get the break at the "spa" somewhere in New Mexico or an undisclosed location in Switzerland because if we weren't sent there, surely we'd be a danger to ourselves and others.  Oh no, we excel in crisis.  Damn it.  Damn it all to hell.

I also haven't been hiring others to help grow my successful businesses, so I can spend more time doing crafts and having pedicures. Oh wait.  I fucking hate crafts. And I usually paint my own toes.  I meant, so that I can spend more time gardening and cooking and volunteering and reading and being with my kids and going to out of town blues festivals with my husband and running and petting my dog.  But, I digress.  I SHOULD have been hiring people, but I went full on "I can only do it myself" mode and so while the businesses have been pretty successfully growing, I have been pretty successfully drowning.

I also have not been sitting around reminiscing about how terrible 2011 was and enjoying the fruition of my correct prediction that 2012 would be a great year. Because, while some really great things have happened in 2012, some pretty horse shit ones have, too. Some of them may pop up in other blogs.  Some of them may have to wait for the book that I'll write as soon as I have stopped giving a shit just enough to expose all kinds of information that will surely isolate me from every friend and family member I've ever had.  And I'm almost there, folks.

Anyway, I'm back.
