Dear Beanies,

Hello! It’s been too long, I think over six months (gasp), since I’ve been on the wall. Don’t worry, I’ve been lurking on the site now and then. Life got really crazy. It’s still crazy, but I’ve gotten to a point where I have make a point to getaway to my happy place to get away from real life (Yes, Beanieland is one of my happy places). I thought maybe once I had gotten everything in order, I’d ease back into beanie life but it’s six months later and life shows no hints of slowing down.

Basically in the last six months, we have moved, settled into a new place, tried to unpack, failed to unpack, tried to take care of things that magically started breaking after we moved in, succeeded in some of the fixing of the things, spectacularly failed in others, attempted at spring cleaning, kept up with work, *tried* to workout and keep a healthy lifestyle, continued with part time masters, attempted at building a dining table (another story, another time), tackled dance classes that continue to kick my butt among other things. I still have boxes lined up against wall that I’m living out of, yet I have rooms that are practically empty. There are times I find my self lying awake at night going through the ever growing to-do list. I’ve added weeding/planting to that list recently. Will it ever stop? Will there ever come a time when I’ll find myself just sitting on the couch without feeling guilty about all the unfinished tasks (because I’ve miraculously finished them)? If anyone has the answers, I’m willing to pay for the answers with baked goods.

I’m was my wits end. So much so that Mr. Spicykimchi had to intervene and say “why don’t you watch a drama?” I haven’t watched many dramas since my last post on here. I finished Mr. Sunshine and Life on Mars. I tried watching Memories of the Alhambra, couldn’t go past episode 2. That’s when I started Romance Is A Bonus Book. It’s a fluff, put-your-brain-aside-and-just-enjoy-the-cuteness drama.. But I think I needed it. It gave me an hour away from real life every now and then. After I finished it, Mr. Spicykimchi go worried again (he’s a dear). I think it’s mainly because I put him to work as well. I’ve been making a conscious effort to not be on go-go-go mode recently. I’ve read a couple of books, and that helped too. I figured maybe it was time to come back to Dramabeans and be active here again. Reconnect with old beanies, and meet some new ones. I didn’t realize how much you guys help in keeping me sane (relative term, really).

So essentially, with this really long rambling post what I’m trying to say is: Hi guys! How’s it going? How have you all been?

P.S: What have I missed out on? What should I catch up on? What should I avoid at all cost?
