off-island state of mind

home is an island.

hi there Atus

seven things i should have blogged about as they occurred, but didn't

it has been more than 60 days since i've typed a thought and the hiatus has only paralyzed me even more when i think of all the major milestones that have passed these past few months

  • getting married and gracefully transforming into mrs. taylor
  • moving my husband, son, dog, and whatever we could strategically fit into 6 luggages and 6 boxes from guam to my old stomping grounds in the bay area
  • planning and adventure-hopping through the streets of new york, washington dc, and continuing our road trip from los angeles to san francisco
  • dealing with parenting a hormonal high-school teenage son who thinks his parents are uncool and he is not being treated like an adult
  • acclimating my husband to a new house, new family, new job, and new lifestyle
  • selling the car i've had for 10 years and going through the harrowing experience of shopping for a new car and being confronted with the harsh reality that my credit needs some serious work
  • forcing myself to put on my most serious game face so i can attend job interview after job interview after job interview to make sure i find a firm that i can stick with for more than 15 months (my longest thus far!)...and then finally making a decision!

    all the fast-forward moments have aged me! somewhere in there i'll have to remember that i am now officially feeling 31. and loving it.

    but i'm reflecting even more and realizing that being home turned into a lack of stimulation for me. although i was busy (4 part-time jobs, our own business, and a day job!), i was uninspired. i couldn't write. maybe i kept busy to keep from the mundane and redundant. was it the same old thing again? or lack of something new?

    mimi from guam

  • about me
      *off-island* refers to the state of being away from the island of guam. you can now follow my spin-off food blog, off-is land influence food refelections

      from my lush homeland to the city by the bay and into the far reaches of the suburbs, i've made my home twice. it was fun in my 20's and even better in my 30's. documenting it all makes me feel important (to myself). here you'll find my multi-tasking adventures with food and the fashionable, my love affair with my dvr, an occasional moment of profound thought, a lot of useless yet laughable ranting, and lately stuff about my life in constant re-arrangement. i'm only fab-ulous because it's in my name.
