I have started three drafts of a blog post in the last week. Clearly none of them have made it very far. I won’t bore you with the topics that didn’t quite make the cut. Instead I’ll talk about other ridiculous things.

I’m going out of town for two weeks in October (to get married- Ah!) and so many awesome things are happening.

So you should go. Cause I’m busy.
