Try as you might, things always manage to get complicated. A well-thought out work schedule (or life schedule for that matter) goes to shit thanks to a day of sickness or procrastination. And soon you'll be taking three times as long as it sanely should to decide what to wear to the library or what to eat.
Time so wasted does indeed go by fast. Things inevitably are neglected like proper exercise, that uber-healthy eating regimen and oh yes, the BLOG.
"When are you going to update the damn thing?" a friend of mine asked.
"As soon as I get caught up on work, get back on track with feeling healthy, feel accomplished with work and not worry about finances," I replied. At that rate, you can expect SheCraves to be back in another lifetime or two.
Silly me. Honestly,it isn't until you take a bite of something as simple as a fresh fig -- or the promise of one in a few months -- that you GET IT. My high school physics teacher passed this nubbin of wisdom on as "keep it simple, stupid." A pragmatic way to avoid stomach-churning worry when it came to electromagnetic problem sets. But not a bad motto for life either.
I miss simplicity. I miss sharing the simplicity. So to hell with being the ideal grown-up and having my life in "order." Obviously, it's so not working. Happiness is more abundant for me in the little things. Bite by bite. Post by post.
Stay tuned. Please.
Hooray!
And as you can tell, I still have you in my feed reader. You must come back - it looks like Utah is getting a fair number of food bloggers, and I think we might even be going to have a picnic of some type!

Welcome back! I 'know' you from Chocolate and Zucchini. I'm in Utah too, but just a reader, not a blogger.

You disappeared just when I'd found you.
Pleased, I am, that you are back.
