M.I.A

This may be the longest hiatus I’ve taken from my blog so far. It wasn’t on purpose. Things just get so hectic sometimes, it gets hard to sit down and write something decent.

I’ve been participating in a volunteer work that requires about 70hrs per month. It’s incredibly enjoyable, and keeps me focused and busy. It’s good for me to be busy, as I get reckless when I have too much free time on my hands (ex., too much credit card abuse).

I’ve also been taking care of some family business, and preparing for our vacation in December (Hawaii! Yay!). Work has been busy, especially since plenty of items need to be designed in preparation for benefits ‘open enrollment’.

Speaking of which - I know this sounds odd, but I’m probably one of the only people that takes full advantage of my vision benefits. I have this obsession with buying new glasses whenever I qualify. I know I just bought two pair last year, but I’m retiring my black/dressy ones because they never feel comfortable. I’ve had them adjusted about 20 times, and they still squeeze my temples.

So, I’ve been eyeing up a cute pair of Prada frames. They retail for about $389, which is ridiculous!! I’m going to wait until Jan 1st so my vision insurance provider can pay for a large chunk of it.

On another note, the hubby and I just bought tickets to see comedian John Mulaney tomorrow night in Virginia. He’s hilarious on VH1 – so hopefully he’ll be equally as funny in person.
