Twenty sixteen.

Oh, hey! Remember when I actually wrote things here? Like, a lifetime ago? So long ago I don't even look like that little bio picture to the right of this post anymore? I do. And I miss it. I'm not going to say I'm going to start posting regularly again, because I've said it before and I never follow through. But I'd like to be here more than once every nine months, at least. I could've had a baby in the time since my last post! (I didn't, of course, because ... not happening. But just, you know, for example).

While I did not gestate any offspring, I did do some other things. I will make a handy-dandy bulleted list to summarize:

- In February, I went back to Isla Mujeres, Mexico with my mom and sister. It was just as amazing as the first trip. Lots of the same sun and fun, although this year we ventured to a water park, where I tried stand-up paddleboarding (or sit-down paddleboarding, in my case) and embarrassed myself on a seemingly tame waterslide. That makes it sound like a struggle, but it was actually hilarious and memorable.

Best beach ever.

- In June, I went to ATX Festival in Austin, Texas. While the weather was highly unpleasant and I was a literal hot mess the entire time, the festival itself was probably the coolest thing I've ever done. I went to screenings/Q&As for shows I love, discovered new shows to watch, met other TV nerds, and got to listen to some really interesting panel discussions on the importance of representation on TV and such. And I PASSED CONNIE BRITTON walking down the street and maybe freaked out a little bit. I didn't want to bother her (she was with Adrienne Palicki and they appeared to be looking for something/someone) so I just called out "love you!" as I passed. Cuz I'm smooth like that. Plus, I got to hang with a childhood pal of mine who is just delightful, so ... great trip. I already bought my badge for next year if any of you fellow TV-lovers want to meet up.

- I bought a condo in July! The Denver real estate market is QUITE cray, but after weeks of searching and many rejected offers, I found a home to call my own. It's a cozy little one-bedroom with wood floors and a giant bathtub, and I love it. And I love decorating without having to compromise with a romantic partner (AKA a dude). Pink comforter and seafoam-green couch for the win! And that green couch is a pull-out, so feel free to come and visit and enjoy some luxury accommodations.

I think that's it for highlights at the moment. But I shall return.
