Yes, it has been quite a while since I've posted anything. It is no coincidence that my last entry was two days before I returned to work full-time. Between working, spending time with the family, getting through Easter and a baptism, trying to exercise enough to lose weight, and being in the middle of buying a house, I have been completely overwhelmed. I have a list of ideas that I'd like to write about, and a bunch of cute pictures to share, but no time in which to sit down and create actual blog posts. It's frustrating, but there is no room near the top of my priorities list for this blog. As it is, I'm not doing a very good job of juggling all of my responsibilities right now. If you've ever worked in a restaurant, then you've heard servers use the phrase "in the weeds" to indicate that they're so busy with all of their customers that they can't keep up. That's how I feel just about every day lately. I'm not complaining -- we are all healthy and reasonably happy, and the idea of owning a home very soon is beyond exciting!!! I just want my handful of loyal followers to understand why you haven't heard from me. Please be patient and I'll be with you as soon as I can! In the meantime, feel free to flag down a hostess to refill your drinks. ;-)
