In case you were wondering, I AM still here...

Okay...so I know I've been horribly neglectful of my blog over the past couple months, surprisingly enough. I love writing and all that, so I figured, if anything, everyone would be aggrevated and think, "Oh geez! Lisa has posted another blog! Doesn't she have anything else to do???" Little did I know, I would suddenly become remiss when it came to keeping it up...seriously? ME? Not post stuff every day? Surely not! 

But as it is, yes, I have not posted much at all lately. That's not to say I haven't been thinking about anything, or had anything to write about, just that it's pretty personal stuff for me that I don't feel comfortable publicizing. Honestly, I'm not one of those people who can just post any and all of my private life, so to speak. I think I'm better off keeping things "closer to the vest" these days, if you will.

So to give you all a little update, in case you were wondering...I've been moved back in with my parents for not quite a month yet, but it's been surprisingly pain-free. The last day or two in my apartment, and my first night or two in my parents' house, I was seriously questioning my strategy and decision. "Wouldn't it be better to go without a lot of stuff than to be back HERE?" But it has actually not been bad. I have tried to be helpful by keeping the bathroom cleaner than I kept it when I lived here before, and doing the dishes more often than I ever did them. I volunteer information about where I'm going, etc., and try to understand my parents care and want to make sure I'm okay. On the flip side, I think my parents are really trying to give me freedom as well, knowing that I'm an adult now - they haven't waited up for me when I've been out late, which used to bother me - that or they don't care, but I'm pretty sure it's the first reason.

So that's the big thing in life right now. Still working, slowly but surely, on getting bills taken care of. I'm still spending too much money on things I don't really need, but I'm working on it. Some habits are too hard to break over night...though I guess I shouldn't say that, since nothing is impossible with God. But as I have never really bothered to deal with SELF-CONTROL in the area of my spending habits, it stands to reason that it is a LEARNED habit and, therefore, won't change over night.

So...seems like there was another reason for posting, but can't really think of anything else at the moment, except really random stuff. Like how I'm excited about the new Pirates movie coming out this weekend! How I REALLY wanna go up to Tuscaloosa for a weekend, but there's too much going on and I'm SERIOUSLY gonna have to MAKE it happen because I can't wait another month and a half!

With all that said, I think I'm going to go read my book. I'm reading through The Chronicles of Narnia right now, which is probably another reason why I haven't posted. I was reading the Twilight series again, and it's nearly impossible for me to focus on anything but reading when it comes to those books...they are seriously addictive.

Anyway...I guess that's all for now.
