Hell Ya!: and . . . I'm back! (finally!)

I have a number of valid excuses I could tell you about why I have been MIA recently . . . here are a few:

1) i've been taking a mini-break, including heading home to PIttsburgh PA for the holidays (where I basically ate a shit-ton of meat and potatoes, slept, ate again, then took a nap from the food coma, and so on . . . . )
2) more sleeping and eating here in la

3) bumming out over my recent breakup with the boyfriend . . . boo. (note to self - don't fall in love with a musician that will eventually become successful and tour 90% of the year! DUH! should have seen that one coming . . . )
