Long gone... new news.

So I've been absent from the blogosphere for a while. Honestly, I wasn't sure whether I'd return, but my writing teacher (aka, my husband) says that this is good practice. Just writing, and it doesn't matter what. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

I stopped writing for a while because I got some news. I'm having a baby. I knew the last thing I wanted this blog to turn into was a "mommy blog." There's nothing wrong with that kind of blog, per say, but that's not what the aim of this blog was about. And I hear the protest scream of "what could be more domestic goddess-y than raising a child?" Agreed, but honestly, that's not what I had in mind and I've read far better mommy blogs than I could write. But just as an FYI... in the picture to the left, the doctor told me two bars means it's a baby! :)

So since I found out I've been getting the nursery together. My hubby keeps saying that I should update this, since I made the curtains (that are on the right) and we painted the room, but I was wanting to keep this my secret from the web until a given time. Then the given time came and went. I told my family, I told my friends, I did not tell the web. But now that I'm nearly 5 months along and nesting is bound to happen as a perfectly ready number of events that will beg to be blogged, I am compelled to write again. So back I come to write about my journey into wife-ness/motherhood/all-around-woman-ness.

So here I am again. In upcoming blogs you can expect to hear about the planning and preparing for the English grad Halloween party, my continued practice writing, taking of the GRE and all that follows. Stay tuned!
