I&#8217;m back.<\/p>\n<p>For the past three-ish weeks, I\u2019ve been writing my heart out on the proposal for a new book. It\u2019s not a memoir, if you were curious, but that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s not personal and revealing, or that I won\u2019t attempt another memoir someday. But like <em>It Was Me All Along<\/em>, this book has that years-in-the-making feel to it (I started taking notes for it forever ago). And maybe the best part is, I\u2019m crazy about it. Crazy in that I love everything going into it, and crazy in a way where I&#8217;m consumed by the work so\u00a0I lose track of time, and Daniel starts to worry.\u00a0\u201c&#8230;so you know the Bachelorette started already&#8230;right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Wedding<\/h2>\n<p>After months of indecision, Daniel and I are finally getting somewhere with this wedding. And I guess the &#8216;somewhere&#8217; part of it,\u00a0was\u00a0<em>deciding<\/em> to have a wedding at all. For a while, we thought about eloping. But then, when we chose not to, it was hard to find the right middle ground. <em>Should it be small or ultra-small? Here or there? Will I miss anything if it&#8217;s not traditional?<\/em>\u00a0In the end, I think we found our answers. And it might be worth a whole wedding post.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Etc.<\/h2>\n<p>Last week I\u00a0went to the dermatologist to have my whole body checked for skin cancer&#8211;and two suspicious moles, in particular. All was clear on the skin cancer front, but I did manage to ask my dermatologist just shy of a hundred questions about skincare and anti-aging products. So now I\u2019m curious; did you start using anti-aging products at a certain age&#8230;or do you use them at all? Any favorites?<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Links that caught my eye this week:<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever watched <em>Keeping Up with the Kardashians<\/em>, have you wondered about those salads they&#8217;re always eating?
