i'm a terrible blogger.
hello my friends! i am back from what i like to refer to as "paradise", and not at all ready to rejoin the real world. seriously. want to know how i spent my first evening back in the tundra? doing translation homework. a translation, a glossary and a mid-term to be exact, none of which i had started before tonight. and with the time change, it felt like i had taken down a couple of those mai tais i told you guys about while trying to recall important facts with my brain.[gallery type="square" ids="1475,1474,1473"]but i couldn't go to bed without saying hi to you all and sharing some thoughts with you about what a terrible blogger i feel like. about halfway through my trip, i realized that a good blogger would have written posts to go up while she was gone, so you all wouldn't miss me. then i realized that the assumption that you would miss me makes me a narcissistic ass. then i also realized that this is not my day job (unfortunately), and ain't nobody got time to work and study and pack and pre-write blog posts. so all sides lose in this argument with myself.great. now that we've cleared the air about my clearly mixed emotions about this blogging thing (hah), i do want to share that one of the benefits of taking an extended break is gaining lots of inspiration and clarity about what direction i want to go from here. i kind of alluded to some changes in this post, and i want to keep that momentum going to make this a more interesting/useful/silly/pretty space for all of us. so in that spirit i've been having fun mapping out ideas and making actual plans to nudge me in that direction.i'll be back this week with some stories and photos from our lovely vacation, and have some other fun stuff coming up too. now, in the meantime, if any of you want to come out of the woodwork and share some feedback about what you'd like to see more of here on hooleywithaz (recipes, stories, collaborations, inspiration, booze, whatever) i would love it and would blow you a hundred kisses as a thank you. because all of you that read this little internet space of mine make it more than just my words, you give it a purpose.see you kids later this week!
