A Shameless Attempt at Guilting Myself Back into Blogland

I feel I must apologize for the serious gap between my last blog (with the topless picture) and the one I am currently writing. I have either had...

a) too much to write about
b) no time to write
c) no emotional energy left to expend writing

or

d) all of the above

After weeks of incessant tugging and nagging on the back of my brain, I have finally decided to revisit my blogspot to present an overdue offering of some kind--yet I find myself with a new option to add to the the growing queue of reasons why I haven't been writing:

e) I don't know where to begin.

How can I even attempt an explaination of what may be one of the top 10 most life changing months of my life? I think the answer to this one is clearly the same as the one about eating an elephant:

One bite at a time.

So, in true Bearca form, I am herein cataloging a list of future blog topics that I vow (read: "hope") to--at one point or another--conquer and cathartisize from my overfilled consiousness. Like my blogspot's version of a TV Guide--a list of "future programming" so to speak. Also in true Bearca form, I make no money-back guarantees that I will get through them all. Really, this is all just an elaborate sham designed to guilt myself into action with committments and statement I will later feel obligated to hold myself accountable to so I don't let laziness win over responsibility so easily anymore. I am, after all, a die-hard "list-making = results" type of person.

In no particular order:

1) Losing a father, gaining a father.
2) A crumbling family unit.
3) Reconciliation with my estranged sister.
4) Learning new strengths, recognizing weakness.
5) Why shopping is a big black hole of destruction dressed up to look like fun.
6) My slutty new boots that I refuse to return though I can think of nowhere to wear them respectably.
7) Why Costco is a big black hole of destruction dressed up to look like fun.
8) Nick and Jessica and why their split makes me extra sad.
9) Books on tape=my new favorite thing ever.

I think that about covers it.

At any rate, I guarantee you'll be reading alot more from me in the coming weeks. At least, I hope you will.

Just in case, however, stay tuned for more shameless guilt tactics coming to a computer screen near you.
