I've been missing in action...

 First things first.....I owe my blogging friends a little apology!!

I know I've been missing in action lately.  My blogging has been hit-and-miss, my reading has fallen behind, and goodness knows I haven't been very good about stopping by to visit and leave comments on your blogs.

Believe me when I say, I've missed y'all...

This evening, Sam informed me that if I didn't start blogging and commenting every day like I love doing, that all my blogging friends are going to give up on me and stop coming around!! He enjoys reading what you all have to say.  

Nothing like a little pressure from the husband...LOL

The truth is, this past month has just about worn me to a frazzle.  I'm tired, my brain is running in twelve different directions, and my to-do list seems to grow longer every time I mark something off.  Plus...I am still trying to get used to the Sleep Apnea machine.  

We have a BIG wedding coming up weekend after next, and if that wasn't enough to keep me hopping, I've also been helping Sam plan a business dinner for this coming Friday.  

And, when I say helping Sam, that might be stretching the truth just a tiny bit.. Let's just say I've been doing a whole lot of the helping... while Sam has been having to rest a lot.  Exactly what he needs to be doing...RESTING!

The dinner is for Texas Pecan Nursery, the stockholders, the beneficiaries, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife committee.  We are expecting 52 guests, so as you can imagine, there are plenty of details to take care of.  

I've been working on the decorations, invitations, place cards, as well as a detailed notebook that each guest will receive at the beginning of the meeting/dinner.  Inside, will be details about the history of the Nursery, as well as stories about Sam's grandfather (who started the nursery some 87 years ago). Included are pages about the family history of four generations.  

It took me a few weeks to complete all of the typing, have the pages printed and then organize the notebook.

Y'all know how it goes.. It's not the big things that is so tiring, it's those fifty little things that pop into your head at two o'clock in the morning that becomes heavy.  I'm beginning to think that I need to hire me a secretary or a personal assistant just to remind me what day of the week it is.  

So, all of this is my long-winded way of saying that for the next couple of weeks, I may be a little scarce around blog land...Not because I want to be, but because life has decided to fill up every spare moment that I have right now.  

I'm already looking forward to the week of November 9th.  If everything goes according to plan, I think I might take me a two-week staycation.... without ever leaving the house.  

In the meantime, please don't give up on me.. I haven't forgotten a single one of you, and I certainly haven't lost my love for blogging or the friendships I have made.  

Hopefully, I will be popping in during the next couple of weeks, and then before long, I'll be back to my normal blogging and visits.  I just felt like I owed you all an explanation as to where I've been and what I've been doing.  

Love to all of you...

Shug....
