Dear Friends,

How are you?  How have you been?  I hope all is well with your world.  

I've missed you during this unplanned, self-imposed exile of mine.  For the most part, I have been "offline"for about two weeks now, and I really feel out of touch.  However, I felt the ban of the internet (and the tempting draw of Blogland) was necessary to focus on matters that I had let slide.

Occasionally someone gets a picture of me ;-)

This week I am on vacation with my family in Montana.  Originally, I was not excited about taking this trip as I have way too much to get caught up on plenty to keep me busy at home.  However, I think some R and R is just what I needed.  I put my foot down and informed my husband that I was not skiing at all this trip, and that instead, I planned to use the time to get organized and work on a few projects.  My husband pouted at first, but I think he realized I needed a few mental health days;-)  I brought a bunch of paperwork, lists of phone calls to make and emails to write, and quite a few quilting projects to work on.  However, I just discovered Netflix, and the first few days was spent watching old romantic comedies (and Law and Order Criminal Intent reruns).  I am hoping my mind and body just needed some down time, and now I can move on to more important tasks.  I still have three days of vacation....plenty of time, right? ;-)

What I am NOT doing this trip...or any trip

During this down time, I've also done some thinking about my blog.  I miss being able to write daily Monday through Friday blog posts.  I work better with a routine and a schedule. When I couldn't keep that pace, I got out of sync and didn't really bother posting regularly.  So, I've been pondering a solution.  Do I post less frequently?  Do I write shorter posts?  Is it even possible for me to write a short post? ;-)  I'm still contemplating.   No promises, but hope to come up with a plan I can live with and stick to ;-)

So what have I missed?  What have you been up to these past two weeks?

Have an amazing day!!!  I'm going to check a few things of my To Do list;-)
