It's Been Awhile...

So, I feel like just about everyone has a blog with a name similar to this one's, but hey it's true. We all get busy with life, work, friends, etc. and well, I must say that I am proud that my hasn't been spent watching TV or being on the internet all the time. Did you know that according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics the average American spends about 2.8 hours a day watching TV. If the average life expectancy in the US is 78.4 years (which it is) and I knock it down to 70 to include busy times in our lives/the first few years of our lives when we can't even remember watching TV or make our own choices to do it or not, that's still 71,540 hours of TV watching on average in our lives. Which is 2,980.84 days or 8.17 years of our lives that we spend watching TV...that's an awful lot of time. Fun fact! Anywho...

It's been since September since I last posted...a whopping 2 months! I feel like a lot has happened in 2 months. I've visited New York, I turned 25, I went to ATL to visit my sister, I went home to visit my parents, I've been to Asheville, NC for a date with myself and the Biltmore Estate, I found out that I have a job opportunity for the new year and the possibility of another one, I learned that my theatre is closing in January to be completely redone and to open a new show that a lot of us may not be able to be a part of (which doesn't bother me much because I wasn't planning on staying), I've made new friends, seen/talked to/missed old ones, witnessed the change from summer to fall (always beautiful in the mountains), closed one show and opened a Christmas show (in Nov.? really people?!), read a few books, watched a few movies, and just thoroughly enjoyed living. Now it wasn't without its difficult times, its lonely times, or doubting times but I think we all experience that at some point or another - and without them we wouldn't really appreciate where we've come from. Anywho, I have to run to work so perhaps I'll elaborate more on this. Plus, I've been meaning to do an "All Things Pigeon Forge" blog to share the best and worst of this town - plus some insider secrets on where to eat and how to get from here to there (not that the majority of readers would necessarily come to Pigeon Forge...unless you're already here).

Ta Ta for now! Christmas Time's a Comin'
