ok ok for real this time.

I had you fooled, didn't I?  You thought I'd forgotten all about my promise to re-start the blog here.  The truth is, I've been on the go-go-go so much that I haven't had any time.  I don't know how those daily bloggers do it.  Magic, or unemployment or something probably.  People keep asking me if I actually work.  The answer is, yes.  Full time.  And in between full-time work, I've become a full-time traveller.  Which is funny, because as a travel nurse, I actually am a full-time traveller...  So does that make me traveller squared?  Anyway.  I've been able to seize practically every opportunity that has opened to me this year, and for that I am truly blessed.  

I feel a little overwhelmed at the task of playing catch-up.  I've done a lot lately.  A lot a lot.  And its only when I sit down with the urge to document it all, that I realize how much exactly I've been up to.   

I'm a big huge fan of lists (don't get me started).  So, in its simplest form, here's the first half of my 2013:
