Hey blogging friends! I apologize for the pathetic, infrequent blogging. I’ve been terribly uninspired to post personal information. In fact, I’ve been teetering on the verge of deleting the blog (don’t worry, won’t happen!) or just never updating it again. After some encouragement from my favorite webmaster, I decided to keep plugging along, recording personal thoughts on the WWW for who knows what reason.

I feel like I’m just emerging from a haze of activity which has kept me busy and focused for weeks. After Charity’s wedding in mid-May, we celebrated Memorial Day weekend with picnics and barbeques. Then a good friend from St. Louis flew up last weekend (Hi, Lorin! It was so fun to have you here!). And finally, I held my first ever garage sale last weekend. I learned that garage sales require more energy than weddings, social engagements and visiting friends combined. Running the sale with my buddy Julie was definitely the way to go… I can hardly imagine how lame it would’ve been to sit by my lonesome for two days, selling off the mounds of junk I’ve been hoarding for way too long. There was a moment on Friday when I questioned our collective sanity: What were we thinking to have a garage sale while watching three children under two years of age??? And then there was the rain, too, but Saturday turned out to be a nicer day for many reasons (husbands were around to watch the wee ones and we had intermittent periods of sunshine), so the sale went well afterall. It won’t be an annual event, however. I need time to garner that much junk again.
