Hi, remember me?

Yeah, me.  The one who goes on random blogging sprees, and then randomly disappears into the thin air.

Yep. That's me.


I am here.
I am alive.


My mind, however...
Yeah, still trying to locate it.


Let me recap on the understated insanity of these past few months.  Insanity which has adopted the name of "normal day, normal routine".



* My kiddo's 4th Birthday.  You would think I was planning a small wedding or perhaps a Sweet Sixteen.
I can't imagine when that time actually comes... Lord, help me. Heck, help us all.  From what I hear, I was a momma-zilla.  I, of course, beg to differ.

* My mother came back from NC. She was up there visiting her family. Without me, of course. I missed her, and glad she is back home. I love that place.  (The valley(South Texas), is my summer retreat, which I feel dry, deserted, and deprived of, because I haven't been in fo-ever. I miss my grandpa so, and I miss the sweet-bread he has ready on the kitchen table every morning.  See you, soon, Grandpa! Its been too long!  (I feel a blog coming on just to recap and reminisce of those summer valley days...soon.)

* Pictures my mother brought back from NC.  A good portion of my sweet and smiling face wayyy back in the day.  I'll have to set aside some time, and upload that sweet goodness of ME. hehe

* Oh. Halloween Party! That was fun! And it was my pumpkin's very first time Trick-or-Treating. We are now in mid November, and she is still ranting and raving about her experience. Gotta love it!

* My pumpkin's first school program. -- She played a Kangaroo in their production of Noah's Ark, and she was THE cutest kangaroo evarrr!

* Holiday Mini Sessions -- planning for these aren't easy, but they're a heck of a lot of fun! -- I had to cancel tomorrow's sessions, but apart of me rejoices, because I spent time nice and cozy on my bed while the creative juices were flowing, thus I must go shopping for further props to incorporate into those mini sessions!

* Family portraits. My own. =] SoooOOoOooOoo much FUN!  Will post pix, soon!

* Weddings. =]  Ahhh... gotta love 'em!  I've got 2 coming up-- one next month and one in March. I'm ecstatic!!

* My baby has been sick... errr, I've lost count how many times, BUT its been horrible.  I hate seeing her that way.

*  Robbery - yes, my sister's car got broken into.  Lesson of the day, folks: Don't leave your purse in your car; even if it IS covered.

* A secret Christmas gift to my parents from their secretive children. Muahahaahahahahaa!

* "Dieting" -- for those following my other blog, I fell off. Not off the "diet", but off my updates.  No worries... all will begin after, of course, I locate my mind.  (update: I lost 7lbs last month. Yippie!)

* And well, LIFE.  (which is, in my opinion, a soap opera. Seriously. Any agents out there willing to document the lives of me and my family??? We'll get you top ratings, I guarantee!)



So yeah. That's where I've been the past couple of weeks/months.


Friends, don't forget about me. I'm still here, although my mind isn't.

Good things are to come at the start of next year, which I can't wait to share with you!


Until then. And until my next post (whenever that may be). I love you all, and hope all is well on your end!

Stay sane these next coming weeks as we enter the Holiday twilight zone... don't bum-rush that sweet old lady on aisle 10 just to get that $5 toaster.  On the way to your fave Black Friday sale, don't honk at the sweet old man driving 15mph... he has grand-kids to shop for.  Do eat until you're happy heart (and tummy) is content. And then go at it, again! Also, do remember Cyber Monday. =]


And in the midst of all the chaos, do stop, and take some time for yourself.  Sit by the fire with your fave blanket and book, and leisurely sip on that nice hot cup of chocolate. I promise, its worth it.

 Me in bed, getting work done. 

And yes, those are my slippers.  The hubby makes fun of them, and says it looks like I walked straight out of the board game, CandyLand.  I, however, think that's a good thing. =]

Holiday fun & HUGE LOVE!
XoXo
