"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome." - Steve Zissou, The Life Aquatic
Welcome aboard, my friends. It would seem I have more in common these days with Steve Zissou than I'd care to admit. Having spent the last three years tracking my "Jaguar Shark" here on Trend de la Creme, I find myself getting soaked by critics who call my style smug, ironic and artificial. Still, others have praised TDLC for it's sheer uniqueness, eccentricity and whimsy. But who cares, right? It's just a fucking trend blog.
In all seriousness, I have let the blog slide in favor of tending to my chaotic life. As you know, I moved cross country six months ago to follow my husband to his residency program. In that time, I've battled a serious cartilage infection (yes, a CARTILAGE infection), the uncertainty of unemployment (this job market sucks!) and watched my marriage bottom out, recover, bottom out again, and stabilize. Well, sort of. The stress has sent my Multiple Sclerosis into a spiral, with the sight in my right eye now to less than 10% and the right side of my face feeling something akin to a bag of frozen peas.

"It's probably the last adventure I've got in me. I was hopin' to go out in a flash of blazes,
but I'll probably just end up goin' home." - Steve Zissou, The Life Aquatic
Something has got to give, people. And it's not going to be me.
The only trend I've been following these past few weeks is My Life Chaotic. So, for the time being, I'm going to spend a little time on Yours Truly to get out of this indefinite limbo and slip into something a little more comfortable. As much as I love Trend de la Creme, I need to take a respite of sorts and get my life back in order and find my best self. But not to worry, this isn't the end. I will be back online in April 2010.
