May 2012 = Entropy

I‘m kinda a nerd.

Well, at least I attended a nerdy university surrounded by a buncha smartie pants. The word “entropy” is actually a thermodynamics term referencing the quantity of heat absorbed or emitted divided by the temperature a.ka. “heat death” … but that’s not what I mean.

I’ve been doing monthly reviews inspired by HappyBlackWoman.com. If you missed March you can read it here, and if you missed April you can read it here. In April’s post I predicted that I would use the word “growth” to describe this month, and I honestly could have, but I feel that the growth I’ve experienced is better summarized as part of an over arching umbrella of ENTROPY.

en·tro·py

[en-truh-pee]]

noun

lack of pattern or organization – measure of the disorder of a system “The committee meeting did nothing but increase the entropy.”

Basically it means deterioration into chaos … reversible though so there’s hope LOL! I chose that word because May has been all. over. the. place. I really am like “where did the month go, what just happened to me?”. I’m 35+ weeks preganant, have had some rollercoaster rides back here I can’t even tell ya’ll, and know the chaos is just beginning because soon I’ll have a newborn. Don’t get me wrong, lots of great stuff has happened too but *whew* what a ride through my birthday month it’s been! What have I done?

I shaved the side of my hair for my birthday, then shaved the other side later in the month, knocking something clear off my bucket list.
I successfully started using my Toodledo list to help govern what gets done during my day.
I implemented my revamped advertising strategy. If you’re interested in advertising on this blog click here.
I’m helping someone set up their blog {purposely vague ’cause I’m not sure they want it all out there yet}. I signed them up for WordPress, and set up their email account. I have more to do but good start.
I turned 36 and celebrated with loved ones.
I successfully carried my son until week 35, which I feel is an accomplishment that needs to be mentioned *takes a bow*
I guest posted on HousefulofNicholes.com and TheManeSource.com.
I did my first ever Glam Author post for Ambi Skincare, which you can read here.
I had a guest author post on this blog here, and continue to receive submissions.
After MUCH turmoil with Sprint and FOUR replacement phones {don’t remember how many batteries}, I seem to have a phone/battery combination that works. #prayPeople.
I started a micro-interview series called Natural Nuances. If you’d like to be featured contact me.
I’m still meal planning and cooking but honestly could have done better this month.
I’ve worked on several small design projects, even more than I thought I would last month.
I’m inquiring about a paid blogger position with another site.
I had a better month income-wise than expected.
I continue to pray and read my Bible every night (with hubby).

So where does the entropic chaos come in? Well, life’s been happening back here too and I just feel like everything’s caving in on me as baby gets ready to make his debut. I realize this may be a typical feeling so I won’t complain, but boy oh boy it’s like the more I do the more I realize has to be done … and ultimately I know I’m not gonna get it all done {especially ’cause I’m waddle walking and out of breath most of the time LOL}. In the end I’ll say May was a month of growth, physical, financial, opportunities etc. AND also a month of perceived entropy on my end.

June 2012 will be some kinda month huh? Little dude may show up this month … THIS MONTH! O_O *faint*get up*faint again* I’m honestly not even sure what word to predict for the month of June. Just stay tuned and see what happens *nervous*.
