The month of August sucked for me. With the exception of my birthday, the past thirty days have been super challenging in many ways and I.Need.A.Break. I know I always do this to myself but the reality of it is, I am just one person. Just some of the things I’ve been dealing with;
- Remember when I got hit by a car on my bike? Well, long story short the lady’s insurance company is trying to get me to pay for her vehicle damage. Oof. So now I’m in the midsts of legal proceedings and dealing with all of that b.s. Not fun.
- I’ve been furiously working on preparing to launch my baby, Little Gray Suitcase by my self-imposed deadline of some time in September. From building the e-store to shopping to photo shoots. I’m please to say I am very close! It’s a lot of work but I’m hoping it will be worth it.
- Just around the corner is September Stitch Swap so that has also taken up a big chunk of time. Luckily I have the help of some amazing women to help so I don’t go insane. Also, if you haven’t RSVP’d yet, you can do so here.
- Focusing more on family & friends. I love you guys, I really do. But I can’t let my face-to-face relationships take a backseat. It’s super easy to get caught up in The Blogosphere and lose sight of other personal aspects. I want to go out & spend more time with my loved ones and catch up on what they’re up to. Sidenote: In an effort to take part in something with my mom & sisters, I joined them in an all-girl’s Fantasy Football league. I am actually extremely excited seeing as how I love football. I’m a nerd, I know.
Just so we’re clear, this isn’t intended to be a ‘woe is me’ sympathy post. I’m just not going to sit here & give the facade that my life is perfect & that I don’t have bad days. We all do. Even pleasant, upbeat bloggers who take pretty pictures have crappy days. So, as my dear Ashlee so eloquently stated, I am taking a time out. So there you have it. I’m taking a much needed breather. If you really can’t stand to live without me you can always follow my tweets in the meantime ;) I promise I’ll be back soon.
