Wow. So, it's been just short of a month since my last blog post--on ANY of my blog pages. Clearly I had my priorities straight this August. :P
Seriously, though. It's important to go on those impromptu lunches with your great aunt from out of state. Hosting a Damsels in Defense Party is vital, because everyone needs to be safe when they leave their homes for the adult world. Pulling together a couple of friends last minute to go to a Goo Goo Dolls and Daughtry concert that your dad managed to snag free tickets for is fun. Making sure your mom's caught up on the greatest kids movies from last year is a must for both of your's sanity. Getting a new job is exciting with just a hint of terror. Going to your five year class reunion is--well, it's supposed to be fun, but you'll probably just end up spending the whole evening with the same people you've been talking to since you graduated high school. Drinking wine while alternating between episodes of Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Futurama makes for a good night. It's considerate to work extra hours when your place of employment is short staff. It's also considerate to drive your neighbor's kids to daycare when she has to work. Celebrating your grandma's Birthday with massages is supposed to be relaxing, but it's actually sort of painful. Meeting your lil' sis from college to watch the best Marvel superhero movie to-date will probably be your best movie choice of the summer. Finishing up The Legend of Korra with your cartoon-watching-buddy is both up-lifting (Yeah, Bolin!) and depressing (pull yourself together, Korra!). Sending your cousin off to college makes your feel old. And seeing Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press--need I say more?
The point of that huge paragraph (and congrats if you actually read the whole thing, because I almost didn't finish writing it!) is that you need to take time to be with your family and your friends and have crazy adventures and relaxing evenings. You can't enjoy life if you're always stuck in front of a computer screen.
So, my question to you: What was something you did this past month?
And my challenge to you: Do something impromptu--I promise, it'll be worth it!
