The truth about where I've been...

My reasons for not blogging in nearly 3 months:
  • I was in Ghana volunteering at an orphanage
  • I've been in Chicago filming Transformers 3
  • I was vacationing off the coast of Tahiti, bathing in tanning oil & sipping frozen daiquiris
  • I also cured cancer
So, as you can see I've been really busy and far too occupied to blog. I mean, what? You think an action film can be done overnight? Psh, be realistic.

OK fine, here are my real reasons for not blogging:
  • I got a new job and have kept really busy with it
  • Wedding planning
  • I painted my kitchen
  • I went to 5 weddings
  • Friends/family visited Kansas City
  • We got a new vehicle
  • I went to the Lake and got a pretty nasty sunburn
Insert trips to the gym sparingly and you've got a pretty good picture of the last 3 months of my life. Pretty lame compared to my above list. I like to think of the past few weeks as a gestational period for new material. :) But seriously, life got really busy and unfortunately blogging took a backseat - as did my health, kind of. I haven't been to the gym very much lately because random crap came up like work, or being a one-car family for a while, and it had to fall to the side for a bit. I hate to say it, but in my list of priorities, the gym isn't number one or two.

But, I'm getting married in a little over 3 months (110 days - thanks theknot.com) and I've got to get my ass in gear - both planning and physically. Things have slightly slowed and the first thing to come back is gym time (forget sanity) and frankly, I'm not sure how to come back from a 3 month hiatus on the blog so..this is all I got. But I'll keep you posted on my days back at the gym, I have a feeling they're going to be wonderful. :)

It has been a while though...and here's my last 3 months in a nutshell:
  • Asking me if you're going to be invited to the wedding, in person, is very uncomfortable - why do people do this?
  • A free, mechanical bull to small town girls is like a moth to a flame
  • I went to 5 weddings and wore a new dress to only 1 of them
  • Registering for wedding gifts is really overwhelming and Aaron and I both shut down after like, 30 minutes
  • Sometimes I get elevator sick riding all the way up to the 15th floor to work
  • Shopping for a new vehicle was definitely one of those turning points in our relationship. It was a battle, but we made it.
  • I only ate wedding cake one time. The other was a wedding cupcake. There's a difference.
  • I did the cupid shuffle 4 times
  • I've mastered the art of packing light
  • I managed to get a tan line from a Memorial Day baseball game that is still on my arm
  • Cam ate 2 light bulbs and lived to tell about it
  • Aaron fixed the lawn mower all by himself. He says it's the greatest accomplishment of his life.
  • I've accumulated a decent collection of wine bottles (empty wine bottles..)
  • We got a new kitchen table
  • I saw McGruber
  • The Real Housewives of New Jersey. 'Nuff said.
Exciting stuff, right? I know this blog post will probably be the most thrilling read of your summer. I should know, I lived it. But I'm back and ready to blog the bejesus out of this thing. Even if I get the offer to be in the new Scream movie, I'll turn it down. Just for you. :)

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
