hello? is anybody still out there?

hello to all of you out there in bloggerville!  no, i did not fall off the face of the planet.  really and truly there are no valid excuses for my lack of blogging for the past 5 months.  just pure laziness and too much farmville on facebook. (go ahead and make your sarcastic comments! i don't care!!) 

when sarah posts on the comments that i need to update and mauricio says something it must be time.  but the straw that broke the camel's back was when sarah's friend even mentioned that i haven't posted in a while. (that is just sad.  no, pathetic.)

i guess one excuse is that for the past few months i have been working out because i just couldn't stand feeling so "blah" all the time.  now i am just tired for all new reasons.  i joined a gym and that has been a lifesaver in the motivational department.  i just can't seem to get around to doing a workout at home, and let's face it, i HATE working out outside in the florida heat and humidity.  i would rather do laundry or poke my eye with a stick than workout at home for any length of time.  like right now i have the p90x dvd in and need to get going with that, but i need to do the blog first right? 

i have really gotten into yoga and find that it does help to alleviate any stress surrounding me.  (well, at least for a few minutes until i pick up the kids from the kids club.)  i wish i would have tried it 20 years ago, but alas, such is life.  the funny thing is that i am on the younger scale in most of the classes.  those seniors could kick my butt in the flexibility department.  "no, yoga instructor who is 15 years older than me, i cannot wrap my ankle around my head like you are doing right now."  (showoff.)

i will be posting a few things that have been happening with us for the past few months, so either check it out and enjoy or not.  i will be doing these next few posts for my own benefit and for the benefit of the extended family who live far away.  plus i actually got creative with savannah's birthday and we made fun cards for valentine's day and i want to be a showoff myself.  i took pictures and everything and never posted them.  (maybe those will be saved for next year. we'll see.) 

here's to a better blogging summer!!!
