"slow down, you crazy child...

...take the phone off the hook, and disappear for awhile." billy joel

first let me say,

that i am incredibly blessed

and life is always more good than bad

but sometimes, a few less-awesome things happen all within one week

(e.g. job stress)

(e.g. anonymous haters vomiting all over my online life. note: i will be deleting you from now on, whoever you are. you're allowed to disagree with my views, but you may NOT insult my personal character or make me cry any more.)

(e.g. some stellar individual hacking my checking account and spending allllll my money on sporting goods and perfume....don't worry, i get all my money back, but you know, icing on the cake...)

and you know,

when the shiz hits the fan in one's life,

sometimes one must do the only thing there is to do....

run away.

no really,

i up and left phoenix on saturday for 24 hours

canceled all my existing plans

and hid out at a cabin with some lovely people.

and,

i'm taking a blog hiatus, just for a bit.

but you will see me back soon enough!

don't cry yourself to sleep or anything.

but i'm not leaving you empty-handed, my friends

you know me better than that.

this beautiful gem should hold you over:
