It has certainly been a while. You probably have been there, twiddling your thumbs, waiting on the edge of your seat for me to be brilliant and endearing, and you were probably thinking I simply had nothing brilliant to say.
YOU WERE WRONG.
I do have things to say! Here they are:
Hi. How are you? What are you up to? Me? Not much. (end).
I know, I know. Life has been a little slow lately, somewhat vague, average, uninteresting, or dull as some have said. A few blips have happened, however. I went on a date once (good food) and I applied for more jobs (starting wage: $7.75/h).
YAY!
I graduated college a year ago. Can you believe that? A YEAR AGO. (You probably can believe it. I, however, cannot, despite being the subject of that very grueling and difficult verb: graduated. That is why I keep repeating it. I graduated A YEAR AGO. GRADUATED. ME. GRADUATE...).
I was kind of hoping to have accomplish something worth while or significant during this time, like--i dunno-- a Pulitzer, lottery win, Disney cruise, or some great career move. But none of those things have happened (maybe I should buy a lottery ticket).
But. It's ok.
I promise.
I have done other things, that, ultimately and seen through a prudential light, may turn out to have been worth my time.
I NANNY!
That's right, folks. I watch the wee ones of successful people while they go off and be successful or go on lunch dates with their girlfriends. I am paid so people can eat!
It's just fine, because watching kids is pretty much second nature to me and the kids themselves are more or less absolutely adorable, so it works. I've been watching 2-year old triplets lately and they are a riot. Once one of them gets started they all want in. Someone decides shoes are a good idea then they're all screaming and sitting trying to get their parents's shoes to stay on their feet. Or one decides she doesn't like her shirt and therefore takes it off. The boys look at her in wonder then realize the genius of it. Yeah! Why are we even wearing shirts!? And have you tried pushing a triplet stroller? My arms look amazing.
So. Yeah. I think that's it for now. Just wanted to remind you that I'm still here. Being brilliant.
(GRADUATED).
