The last of August
Remember back when you COULDN’T schedule a ‘blog post’ or whatever it was back then to ‘go up’ at a ‘certain’ ‘time’ and ‘monetize’ ‘it’?? OK, so those last quotes were just to be ridiculous. Anyway disclaimer to say I am writing this ahead and scheduling it to go up tomorrow, which given what I expect to talk about is a definite harbinger of doom, however, I’ve been feeling extremely confident and positive lately so, there.
So, August. August has some structural problems traditionally, including the going-back-to-of-school, shortening of days, closing of pools, and general large health crises that have sprung up in the past during this time, HOWEVER, as I wrote last year, August has redeeeeeeeeeemed itself 3295397405 times over now thanks to a certain Toddler2. Shazam! She’s magic. The Legend.
In fact, it is time for a brief retrospective…
1999 / back to ‘the jail’, lol
2000 / super embarrassing shit here, including the double spaces after each period, but, whatever, I learned
2001 / also embarrassing, however I maintain that I adore all those American Pie movies and how they kept pace w/ the lives of moi + my peers
2008 / Palin. NOTE I WOULD TAKE HER IN A HEARTBEAT right now
2012 / Barry Kolbe review, also hatred of August
2015 / “August means goodbye”. Great title. Stolen from daycare email blast.
Sooooooooo yeah. What else. I turn 36 (NOTE, I first typed ’26’, lol, clearly this retrospective hath gotten to me…can you imagine??) soon, I feel pretty good about that, better than I did about 26, I think, although that was a fun year for sure! 35 has been a very gratifying, solidifying, confidence-boosting year. I have a whole entry planned about that but I doubt I’ll get to it. Suffice it to say it’s been really real and cool and full of growth. Yeah. Yeah!
OK that’s it. This is a weird entry because it will occur in THE FUTURE (and I am right now living in the past).

1. lol about American Pie
2. you should definitely write your post about being 35/36. i’m obsessed with talking about whether or not 35 is a milestone.
Great stuff as always.
