Busiest Week of My Life + Out of Town + Internet Probs = Blogging Vacation.

Well, I know you've been worried. Wondering and thinking the worst. No, I have not disappeared. I have not decided to quit blogging. I have been on a long-anticipated Blogging Vacation the past 2 weeks. I can't believe I haven't written in that long. In fact, don't send me hate mail, but I haven't even CHECKED people's blogs more than 2-3 times total (not per blog - just total) since I went on blogging vacation. I did actually leave town for 2 days at one point, but that's not the vacation I'm talking about. More of a mental vacation from all blogging-related 'stuff'... you know the 'stuff' - sometimes the pressure to be fabulous just builds up and you run out of post ideas and just need a break. I know there are those of you out there who can manage to be fabulous every single day - not me. I'm not that good.

So. My vacation. Yes, there was your typical vacation fare during this time of rest ... sight-seeing (aka spring cleaning out my plethora of storage closets for the first time since... well a long time.) This was the best part of my trip, actually. I saw things I've never seen before! And things I haven't seen in 10 years. Like a giant file box full of my high school and college photos with every different hair color I've had and every different boyfriend I've had (hint: future blog topic - oh it's precious, precious stuff).

I even organized the massive piles of Christmas wrapping paper (I have exactly 40 rolls of it and I am NOT exaggerating - count them.)

I also sorted and categorized my extensive gift bag collection - I even threw some away that were not worthy of the Re-Gift - that's a big step, my friends.
Now I know it seems as though they're not sorted, but they are - according to size, then category (baby, birthday, cute any occasion), etc.

And, like a good vacationer, I ate a LOT. Without exercising. I slept in one morning (until at least 8 a.m. - that's a BIG deal). I watched a few movies ... The Invasion, The Guardian, several LOST episodes from last season -- it's new to me. So overall, it was a productive, good blogging vacation, but now, particularly since the arrival of spring has suddenly turned my kids into hyperactive crazy people, I'm ready to block it all out again and blog, visit and comment. So, here I come... bursting with new ideas and inspirations, and ready to give some bloggy love again.
