I'm Back!

Thursday, February 24, 2011
I think I'm back girls.

Just with some different rules for myself.

I love blogging.  I love my bloggy friends.  I love reading blogs.  BUT with all of that, came the......

Guilt.

Yes, guilt.

I felt a lot of pressure, put upon myself by me, to reply to every single comment.  Sometimes at night, that was all I was doing.  I also felt like I had to visit every single blog of all the people that were reading mine.

It was just to much.

So I am back but just on my own terms.  I love all of you who stop by and read my little ole blog.  I love all of you who comment and I love all of you who lurk.  I appreciate all the comments that you leave but I will not be replying to all of them each and every time.  Know that I read and appreciate all of them.

I will also blog whenever I want and about whatever I want.  I don't want to set a schedule up (in my head) and stick to it because it stresses me out.  I can't try to link up to all the parties each week and I can't worry about blogging just about the house each time.  I know that with a new house I should have a lot to blog about (and I do) but I don't always remember to take pictures.  And sometimes I just want to blog about whatever is on my mind.  Blogging needs to be fun again for me and I think that doing it on my own terms will make it just that.

While I have been away, I have done absolutely NOTHING!  :)  I have been reading, eating, and watching TV.

I didn't do one thing that I said I was going to do while I was on my break.  I mostly closed up my laptop and completely stepped away.

It has been nice.  I haven't done a thing to the house either.  That SAD (seasonal affective disorder) thing was in play this winter for me.  That and the two moves just about did me in but I am trying to put one foot in front of the other. (literally and figuratively)

I started walking on the treadmill again yesterday and I am praying that we will see some warmer weather soon.  It's been a rough winter and a rough 8 months but I am hoping that I am on the other side of it.

Thanks to all my blog friends for the support during the last year.  I have missed y'all and hope to visit y'all very soon.

We just made a quick trip to Florida on Sunday and went to eat with some friends.  I'll leave you with a lovely picture of the Florida palm trees and my date for the evening.  And just so you know, I am a Florida girl at heart.  I love the sunshine, palm trees, and flip flops;-)
