The Toy Truck

I've been MIA. Again.

Reason #1: Josh and I have been hard at work on my jewelry website, which I've wanted to do ever since I opened my Etsy shop. My friend Katie of Making This Home recently unveiled her new site, Gadanke, to sell her handmade journals, and between the inspiration from seeing such a beautiful new site and Josh's semi-constant reminders to start designing mine, we finally sat down, hashed out a mock-up in Photoshop, and dove right into Wordpress. It's still under construction - but looks, if I may brag about my fiance's imposing php skills, FANTASTIC - and I'll post the url here when we're ready to roll. Though from my shop and blog names, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. ;)

Reason #2: Lost. I never would have guessed it either, but I got bored one day while Josh was out. That's what happens when you poke around netflix long enough. Long story short, I started leisurely in early/mid April, kicked it up a bit when I realized I could watch an episode on Hulu over my lunch break every day, and knocked it into high gear when a colleague asked if I'd be caught up in time for the series finale (yes, I said, I will gladly finish two whole seasons in one week if it means increasing my hours awake : watching Michael Emerson act ratio). Result? I did it. It may have done some weird stuff to my head (I have a minor, slightly distracting obsession with Ben Linus now), but yeah, it happened. Thoughts on the finale? Short answer: I'm ok with it; it got me thinking about a few things. Long answer: ...maybe I'll save this one for another time. Until then, I leave you with this, courtesy of afore-mentioned colleague:

You know...if we knew where the toy truck came from, I think everything else would have made a whole lot more sense. Just sayin'.
