Oh my goodness. Hi, I'm back. This past week has been the most anxiety-ridden week I've had in a while, and I will not lie - it is partially attributed to the fact that I was blogless. I've had a blog, more or less continuously, since I was 19... I'll be 24 in three days. Five years and I'm supposed to survive a week without an online outlet? You've gotta be kidding me.

Anyway there are still some kinks to work out, but the important thing is that I can blog, and I didn't lose my archives. The amount of relief that I feel right now is immense, almost to a pathetic degree...

So I don't even know how to start catching up on the past week. I've actually been feeling pretty angsty, for several reasons - I'm attributing most of it to not enough sleep because I've been waking up early to run for my training, but I think I'm also feeling a bit cooped up by the weather, by work, and by life. I don't know what I need, or what I can do to get myself out of the weird funk I seem to have fallen into... which has just left me sort of cranky and helpless.

That said, my birthday is in three days and my party is this weekend :) So I'm psyching myself up for that.

AND Hanson is PLAYING A SHOW IN JERSEY ON MARCH 1ST! I can't even believe it... it's their first show in over a year (I didn't go to any shows on the last tour) and the first new music in almost three. And tickets go on sale tomorrow, and I am most definitely getting up early to get them.

THAT should lift my spirits... at least enough to prep me for my 8-mile treadmill run on Saturday...
