This post will officially restart the timer that exists on some people's blog trackers that keep track of how long it's been since the last post here :)
Since last October I've:
- Experienced a night Mizzou football game in Columbia
- Watched (in person) the thrashing OU gave MU in Arrowhead Stadium for the Big 12 Championship
- Been to Little Rock more times than I care to count in the last 6 months either for continuing education training for my work or evaluations for Carter to help him grow to his biggest and strongest potential
- Seen Steven, Carter and myself all get another year older
- Read a TON of books because I treated myself to the Amazon Kindle 2 book reader with a bonus from work. I definitely read more now because of it and I LOVE it!
- Survived through the worst ice storm this area of the country has seen in nearly a century
- Started a Project 365 Scrapbook Album trying to document the everyday things in our lives each day for a whole year
- Flaked out on Project 365 about a month into it
- Lost 40 lbs
- Tried to lose more but let the carb-addiction sway me off my plan for a while (back on my game again now hopefully)
- Become a facebook addict
- In above addiction got back in contact with many elementary school friends that I've been searching for for years.
And so much more. I struggle with having to give all of myself over to everyone else every day because that's what my job entails but then still find the will and time to give my family just a little of me while I keep my sanity and keep a little bit of time set aside for just me too. It's that give and take that I work on every day these days. Scrapbooking has been an unfortunate casualty of this 'new' life too. I hope that one day I get the craving back to scrapbook like I used to have. I still love looking at supplies and idea books/magazines so I'm hoping that one day I'll be inspired enough to actually pick up my scissors and trimmer again too.
I hope that people with 'last post bla bla date' counters are smiling now since my long dry spell of blogging is over now :)
HEY, SIS! CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!! I'VE HAD TO DO THAT TWICE NOW, AND IT AIN'T EASY. NICE TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE STILL KICK'IN. BY THE WAY, DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL THRILLER ALBUM?...JUST CURIOUS.
