You may have noticed that I haven't updated this blog in over a month. I'm super late with my promised next installment of the Eclectic Writing Class and I haven't reviewed a book in what feels like forever. My last post was a freaking video of me playing an Ed Sheeran cover on my baritone ukulele. I was doing so well at the consistent posting before this!  So what happened exactly?

A lot actually, but most of it is just me being an undisciplined hobo. I blame "senioritis," "new instrument honeymoon syndrome," and having a bookkeeping job at tax season, but basically, I just haven't wanted to write. My writer's brain has been goofing off, conversing with friends, and telling them random stories about my life (our messages will be a gold mine if I ever write a memoir). Then my creative brain is off working on makeup looks and trying to write pissy songs for a 75% imaginary band. Plus I've gone hiking a few times recently. I'm planning a weekend trip to Washington with my best friends and creating a schedule, menu plan, and custom music playlist just for that. One of my girlfriends took me dancing for my birthday and that was a blast.

I'm also debating going back to school to become an accountant or a registered dietician and my husband has been pushing the whole "buying a house" thing, so I've had to go talk to realtors and stuff. No biggie.  🤷‍♀️  And I've been making a giant pile of crap to get rid of so that we don't have to take it with us if/when we move.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to post consistently again. I may pick up where I left off next week or it may be months (or never) before I get back into blogging. But rest assured--I haven't died and I am, in fact, happier right now than I have been in years.

So cheers! 🥂 My wish for you is that you're enjoying your life as much as I'm enjoying mine. Go out and make some memories. 😘

Hey guys!

Just a quick post today. I've been sick for three weeks and my brain isn't quite capable of intelligent thought right now. So instead of an overly thoughtful book review, enjoy this video of me playing Ed Sheeran's Shape of You on my baritone ukulele.

I also created an outtakes video for anyone who is so inclined. It is longer than the song video. Be warned that there is much swearing and grossness because I was still pretty sick when I filmed this.

So I know it was forever ago, but you guys remember my review of the BBC radio adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring, right? If not, that’s cool; it’s still there, so you can go read it. Done?
