just a girl squawking.
oh boy. is it fall yet? can i skip to the end of this crazy season and just commence my hibernation? between weddings and birthdays and family photos and cabin weekends and gym time and work and trying to eat well and spend quality time with everyone and and and, i'm ready for the slow life to begin again.that's why i love fall so much. the colder weather just lends itself to a slower pace. not to mention the pumpkin lattes and the sweaters and the boots. it's hard to rush around when everything feels so cozy. here in the tundra, we do autumn right. i mean, the whole state just gets basic as hell as soon as the leaves start to turn.
i'm sitting in my living room as i type this, sipping on a vodka soda (ask me how that whole "eating well" thing is going why don't you), listening to the rain come down and wondering if there is any way to just bottle this feeling. the feeling that time can slow down and i can sit for as long as i want just writing and winding down. can we figure out how to bottle feelings up already? doesn't that seem like maybe it could be great?the change in season has made me think a lot about this little blog of mine. my pattern is always ALWAYS to drop off my posting when the warm weather comes, and to get back into it once the cold comes. it's just easier to write when there's no light outside tempting me to happy hours and deck sitting and gardening. so with less distraction, it's easier to spend my limited time on the blog. one of the ideas i've been toying with has been a renaming/rebranding of this space.i've been feeling for a while like i want to take the blog in a more focused direction, although the exact direction is still floating around in my head, just a fuzzy idea, not fully crystallized yet. things have changed so much since i started writing here, and i want the name and the content to reflect my life a little more fully. i don't want to make it a totally different place, i think everything will feel very much the same as it does now. but what i think it means is a new name, more regular and reoccurring content, and a more tightly focused direction. i need it to be easier to write posts, while still being creative, which means i need to have a better template for myself. i just think that refreshing everything will give me the reinvigoration that i need to come back here more often.
now i need some feedback from you. very casual feedback you see, i don't have time (slash don't want) to make a survey.what would you like to see more of here? (recipes? drinks? entertaining? parenting? marriage? humor? all of the above? none of the above?) when you think of me and my world, what comes to mind for you? leave any feedback you'd be willing to share in the comments below. i would LOVE to hear from anyone who wants to share with me! if you don't feel comfortable sharing in the comments, feel free to email me (hooleywithaz @ gmail . com).
