Last season on Blonde Redefined…

Hello friends! Are any of you still out there?

…probably not. Whatever. Hello, Internet Cosmos! I am now writing to you because everyone else has moved on to bigger and better things! We’re going to get along great, Cosmos. Pretty soon we’ll be braiding each other’s hair and taking friendship oaths in a tent in the backyard.

But since we’re just getting to know each other, let’s do a recap.

The last time I wrote on this blog, things were going great. I had this new puppy, Maisie. I moved into a new apartment in ohsochic Somerville. I was working on this uber-cool theatrical production and collecting props and boiling bones and all sorts of fun. Life was good.

bone boiling: tons of fun 

But, Cosmos, like any good tv drama, things could not continue in their cheery way. As the heroine of this tale, I had to endure the requisite hardships. All good things must come to an end, yadda yadda. Neither shows nor relationships can last forever, and let me tell you, heartache does not sit well on this blonde. But I ate lots of chocolate ice cream and did a lot of soul searching and after relationships had ended and shows had closed and I had tutored my 700th SAT, I came to a startling revelation: I had very little money and very little reason to stay in Boston.

So I write to you from a new locale. I have left the cushy comforts of my luxurious Somerville apartment and moved to the rustic wilds of Washington State. Time to move on and move up. I mean back. I mean forward. I mean, what? Directions are hard for me.

Maisie, Mom, Tuffie, and I started out on an epic cross country road trip on April 1 and after several detours and Super 8’s, we arrived in Lynnwood, Washington on Friday.

It’s kind of like moving back in time. Back in a one-bedroom apartment with my mother, Tuffie, the cat Cappuccino, and the added bonus of Maisie. Next step: unclear. But the point, Cosmos, is that I’ve started a new chapter! And though the drama of the last chapter was so sordid and tawdry that I couldn’t BRING myself to write about it, (plus I just got lazy), it’s time to come back to the soothing calm of the blogosphere. (Fun side note: “blogosphere” totally passes my spellchecker now. How very modern!)

SO, I may not have a job, a purpose in life, or a current goal. But I have a blog. So we’re cool, at least. Right Cosmos? Right?

And if you really have been paying attention, here’s your reward: a picture of Maisie in the car. She’s ready for new things too.

 are we there yet, mom?

‘Til I have something else to write,
