The beginning of 2011 feels like a lifetime ago. So much has happened, so many changes occurred. I'm glad that 2011 came to an end because 2012 has so many great things in store. In lieu of listing out resolutions, I really only have one goal for 2012: finish my Masters and become Alex LG, MPH, CHES.
With that will bring another move to a new city, a new job, starting life over again. I'm excited to start my career, to find a place to feel at home. Big changes like this typically cause me anxiety and while this period of flux will be hard, I'm ready for it. I'm ready to put away all of the text books, to only have one job to keep track of, to wake up every morning and do something I love. I'm lucky to have put myself on that path.
The one nagging issue has been my blog and other blogs I regularly read. I'm tired of reading blogs about people in relationships, people getting engaged, people having babies. Why cant I find more single bloggers? Because I'm not interested in making a recipe for four when it's just me. Sure, some leftovers are nice but I dont want to eat the same thing every day of the week. And really, do we need a weekly pregnancy update? Maybe my little space will become less food and a little more life. Because really, singleship in the mid-twenties can be hilarious.

HA! I will totally celebrate single life with you! Whenever you want to go out for a fun meal or drink, just let me know! xo
Done and done!
i think the problem is the notion that somehow something is wrong if you are single – there ain’t nothing wrong! let’s take a singles vacay and pick up men…you in?
Yes that is exactly it! I’m always up for an adventure with you my friend. My spring break is in March and I hear California wine country is beautiful that time of year.
YES! OK, I love so many things about your posts. Although I swear I hope I haven’t alienated anyone.
I agree that sometimes it’s overkill on the personal stuff, and if I see one more baby thing my head is literally going to spin around.
I think 2012 is going to be YOUR year. I am excited to watch your changes and success. Wishing you all the best, bc you simply deserve it!
Alex LG, MPH, CHES — dayum, that looks good!
