Life is interesting
Wow. Is it really the second week of June already? It feels like yesterday when I turned 30 and ranted about how this was going to be the best year of my life. So far this year has been nuts! I’ve missed blogging. Initially, I took a break due to time restraints but then life happened. Oh life happened, alright. A lot has changed in the time I’ve been gone but I’m embracing it. Let’s see….
My sister is 30 weeks pregnant and cuter than ever. You know it’s a bad sign when you weigh more than your knocked up sister. Such is life.
Our beloved family dog died unexpectedly. Miss you Buddy.
So we bought a new dog to help heal the pain. He’ll never replace our Buddy but he’s been a wonderful addition. Meet Cooper.
After 3.5 years, Len and I broke up and then lived together for two months post breakup. Surprisingly,things weren’t too awkward and remained civil. He’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
I moved to a new part of town and have a new roommate. Hi Melissa!
But I lost Eleanor in the battle. Well, it was a mutual decision and hopefully for the best. She’s in wonderful hands and I plan to visit often. I do miss the energy of a dog around the house but I miss our nightly spooning the most. My sweet rat.
Since single life began, I’ve been saying yes more. Yes to invitations and events that I wouldn’t necessarily participate in otherwise. Such as going to a shooting range.
And partaking in other things that are too inappropriate for this blog 🙂 Use your imagination, folks. Hi mom!
It’s good to be back.

Hi! If you’ve read my blog before you know the kind of topics I cover. My life is changing so I don’t want to label this blog as one thing or another. Goodies Galore will simply serve as a vehicle for inappropriate ramblings, pictures of my gnarly food concoctions, the ongoing battle and rewards of health and wellness, and whatever else comes my way. Hopefully things get exciting around here. Thanks for reading.
Wow– you HAVE had big changes!!!! Sounds like you’re taking all of them in stride– I think thirty could still be your best year yet!!
ps– I realized that I never replied to your post about my outfit in Paris– it was a shirt, and it was from Target!
Glad you’re back!!

Sounds like you’re keeping an upbeat spirit after dealing with all these changes, to that I say, good for you LP, I expected nothing less, you’re tough as nails. I did the whole break up & live with situation in Boston, and it was FAR from civil, but maybe that’s just because I’m a butthead. Either with being civil, I bet it was hard, so I’m glad you’re out of that siutation now.
I miss my friend. My former M-W homegirl. The gal who escaped to random new england cities on the weekend.
Hope all is well!

Yay, I was hoping you’d be back! Sorry about you and Len, and losing Eleanor :(. I think that would be the saddest part of a break up for me.

How incredibly sad the last few months have been for you 😦 Sounds like you’re on a positive track now and moving in the right direction. It’s only June – so this may very well be the best year of your life yet!! I look forward to hearing about your “new adventures” – as I’m sure there will be many. You’re young and healthy and life is good – so here’s to “the second chapter”!!!
Cheers my dear! Thanks.
Lindsay. That’s a whole lotta changes. As one who went through a plethora of big changes last year, I’m reminded how the world is just opening up for you. This makes me think of that phrase, “what makes you stronger…” You have such a strong core and support network and this zest for life. Glad to see you back and excited to see how things continue to shape up for you as you say, “yes.”
Oh Annelies, you’re so sweet. I just realized I never emailed you back a while ago. Hope you’re well and married life is WONDERFUL!! xo
I am soooo glad you are back!! I’m sorry about Buddy and your personal life but way to turn it around !! and making the best out of a difficult time is there maybe another dog in your future stepbrother/sister to Eleanor?
Hey Kell!! Definitely no dog in my near future….. Thanks for checking in!!
Wow, sounds like you have had an intense few months. Glad you checked in and hope to hear more soon =)
Glad you’re back and that things are looking up for you! I did the whole breakup/live in thing and it’s always awkward, if not for the best. And yay for kayaking!
WELCOME BACK!!!! Sounds like you are doing great…keep having enjoying life 🙂

Glad you’re back Lindsay! I was wondering why you were gone for so long- I missed reading one of my favorite blogs! SO sorry to hear about you and the bf and especially Eleanor 😦 Hope you find ways to enjoy the single life. It’s not so bad, I promise 😉
Kelly!!! Hi. Thanks for the love.
