lately.

clearly, i need to utilize my awesome camera lens travel mug more

It's been a busy couple of days for me, but I wanted to pop in tonight for two reasons:

1. I committed to the Blog Every Day In May challenge, & even though I knew I wouldn't be using all of Jenni's prompts, I knew that I wanted to get something down in this space for every day of the fifth month this year. 

2. I genuinely miss blogging with regularity. I miss my blogging routine, my rhythm, my interactions with other bloggers, etc. Having a rough blogging month has, once again, brought to my attention that I love being a part of this community. 

With that being said, since I've arrived back in Wilmington on Monday, I have begun school. This is something I'm really excited about, but it's taken up almost all of my energy the past two days. For the rest of this week, I will be meditating on a new weekly routine for myself, so that I can get back with the program & start doing all the lovely blogging things I'd like to do. Not only that, but there are some long overdue thank you notes that must be written & sent out, some reading I'd like to do more of [my book of choice right now is The Casual Vacancy, by J.K. Rowling, which I'm really enjoying], & a seemingly endless slew of other little tasks that simply must be achieved. 

Tomorrow evening, I'll be sharing an Around Here Lately post, with a bunch of images from my month-long trip to Shreveport. I'm also currently working on my June editorial calendar, so I'm excited about getting some great, quality posts up for the next month. And what I'm really looking forward to in the next couple of weeks, is getting back in touch with all of you.
