Ok…I realize that I suck at keeping up to date here. I do. I want to get in, write, say things, respond to your sites, share life, joys, upsets, whatever. I really suck at getting in here, though. I’ve got every excuse in the world: I work a lot, I go to school full-time, I just bought and moved into a new home, my family has issues, I am busy dating someone (ok, I’m not but it could be an excuse SOMEDAY!).

There’s always an excuse.

I love to write. I write constantly. So why can’t I write here?

I’ll be honest. Part of it is that I feel watched by an ex.  He knows this site. He could be reading this right now.  I’ll hear about it. I don’t feel free. I don’t feel like I can express how I feel about my life, my joys, my breakups, my get-togethers, etc. because I may be watched.

That sucks, too.

Part of it is that I tend to be pretty private about the things that really affect me and I don’t feel good about being superficial here. I want to be able to explore all different sides of me.

I can try. See how it all goes. It doesn’t hurt to try. Right?

That being said, I wanted to share a bit with you all.

This is my new home.

I haven’t taken any pictures inside, yet. It’s a manufactured home (they have a bad rap but the new ones are amazing…stucco’d walls, 2×6 walls, skylight, etc.) but it’s on 2 1/2 acres so I can always build later (when I can afford more).

You can see that there is a nice hill behind me covered with trees. That’s to the south of me. To the west are more hills. In the far distance of the north, there are even more hills that I can see.

This view is of the San Francisco Peaks to the northeast of me. My neighbor has a lot of animals.

This view is Mount Elden to the southeast of me.
I hope you enjoy a piece of me.
