Obviously, I have been away for quite awhile now, lol.. or did you not notice? I know some of you did because you have sent me lots of really nice messages via comments on the latest posts and many via the contact form on the site. You all are so nice and I feel bad that I haven’t posted something sooner.

First off, and I suppose you can tell if you are reading this, I am indeed alive and kicking. When I first quit posting it was mainly because of two things, both of which had to do with real life intervening..

My grandmother became seriously ill, bed ridden and subsequently passed away. My mother had moved her into her house and needed all the help she could get, so I tried to step in where I could. During that time, it became quite obvious that I had a “stalker” issue going on that had me completely freaked out. It seemed my “sicko” cyber acquaintance was using the info I posted on here and by lurking at some of my other sites, to keep up with everything going on in mine and my children’s lives. It would have freaked me out enough if I was flying solo here, but when my children started being mentioned.. well.. hmmm.. I think you all can imagine how that affected me.

Other than the above, my kids have kept me jumping while out of school for summer vacation, we are selling our beach house which has required WAY too many trips to the beach over the last two months, honest to God, if I never see sand again as long as I live I will be one happy little buckaroo! Meanwhile, my oldest son got his driver’s license (yay him!!) and now I’m trying to teach him how to drive a manual transmission car (5 speed).. and let me just go ahead and say HOLY SHIT!!! I’ll tell you more about our attempts with that at another time.

You know, I just realized I summed up the past 2 months of my life in two paragraphs, lol.. damn that’s sad! Oh well whatever. I did realize while I was away however, how very time consuming it is to blog.. if you want to do it right that is, which of course I do, but simply don’t have the time to. So this is my revised attempt at fitting it into my life without it affecting other/previous obligations.. and hopefully without any sicko bastards lurking around this time.

Okie dokie, I think that is about enough for now.. other than this…

I want to wish a lifetime of happiness and best wishes to two of my blogging buddies that got married while I have been away.. Michelle and Ryan. Of course, they didn’t marry each other, they each married their significant other and I just couldn’t possibly be happier for them. So this song is for the 4 of you.. “Ryan and Girlfriend Wife” and “Michelle and Montreal Photographer”. I want ya’ll to play it and dance with your new spouses.. to make me happy.

By the way, if anyone knows how I can find Michelle, I would appreciate the directions, lol.. it seems Once Upon A Time, her former blog is gone. Thanks!
