I live..

..really, I do. I've missed you, truly, but I've been so busy with things and life and stuff..

Okay, I can't lie. While there has been plenty going on, it's not like I haven't had the time to sit down and blog. After all, I sit at the computer at least once a day. My excuse - I'm a bit of a procrastinator. I'd like to say that I wasn't, but there is always something else that I should be doing, but I'm not. So guess what gets pushed to the wayside? If you said blogging, give yourself a little pat on the back and tell yourself how smart you are :D It doesn't help that my laptop is still on the fritz (calling Dell IS on the list of things to do, but yep..procrastinating). Once I get that fixed, there is a good chance that I'll be blogging much more regularly. Are you excited? Ya, I know. Me too.

So, if I haven't been blogging..or doing the things I should be doing, what exactly have I been up to you ask? Well, we spent most of our time outside, either swimming or playing with neighbours. We also did the annual pilgrimage to Ontario to visit with family in August. That was a 3 week trip and it wasn't but a week after we returned that we had to head to Ohio. I've mentioned before that Big Daddy was from Ohio right? Two of Big Daddy's family members were ill and we trekked up there to see them. We stayed longer then we had planned, staying a couple of weeks..and subsequently returning a week later for the funeral of one of said family members.
Since returning, it's been the critter and I hanging around and getting things done around the house. Big Daddy had a business trip that could not be postponed and so we were left to fend for ourselves. These weeks we've been busy planning and getting ready for Critter's birthday party; which is this coming weekend.
When I'm not planning and plotting, I'm usually cleaning, relaxing with O or eyeball deep in my genealogical research. I'm addicted!! What can I say!

Of important note: O is pretty much fully potty trained now!!! Hurray!! I'm so happy; can you tell? I'll tell you more about it later. For now though, I think I should be off to do those things I've been putting off.
