Making a Comeback

It's been over 2 months since my last post. Why, you might ask? Because I gave up on blogging. I quit. I decided that I didn't have the time or energy to dedicate to my blog any longer. Blogging used to be enjoyable and relaxing to me, but lately it had become nothing but a chore. It was something I was continuing to do simply because I felt obligated to do it. Obligated by whom? I have no idea. Possibly only myself? Maybe other people out there? Could I possibly afford to be so vain? To think that other people out there actually care enough about my blog to miss it if it was gone? I started writing this blog for myself and I always said that whenever it stopped being fun or helpful to me then I would stop writing. So I stopped writing. I took the one constant form of therapy that has always been there for me and I threw it away because I didn't have space for it in my life anymore. And it has taken me 2 months to realize how stupid of an excuse that is.

I miss blogging. Even if no one else ever reads a single thing I write ever again. I've realized that I need this for myself. Blogging is my hobby. It's basically my only hobby, besides crafting...and taking pictures of my daughter...but I'm not sure that actually qualifies as a hobby. I'm sure that most people would argue that this is a pretty pathetic hobby, but at least it's free unlike my husband's multitude of hobbies which all cost money. However, I decided that blogging makes me happy and gives me a relaxing form of therapy that I desperately need in this crazy world that is our lives. So with that unnecessarily lengthy tirade...I'm officially back.

A lot has happened since my last post, and since I'm a particularly OCD individual when it comes to my projects, I couldn't possibly leave a 2 month gap in my blog posts. Therefore, I'm going to play a little catch-up and back date a whole slew of posts that should have occurred over these last 2 months. Moral of the story...you have a lot of reading to do. But don't worry, it's the last week of the year and everyone is on vacation so there isn't a whole lot going on at your office anyways, right? Since I know everyone is looking for a good way to nurse their Christmas hangover and procrastinate at work today...you're welcome in advance. Here's what the Roches have been up to...
