The Doldrums

I have decided that it is now my goal to not have to start each new post out with, "Sorry I haven't been posting lately..." So I'm not going to apologize, as I don't want to break my new goal, and I'm pretty sure no one has been too heartbroken over my inactivity anyway. So instead of apologies, here's my excuse - life is so dull right now. Seriously. I always forget just how much I despise winter once the holidays are past.

We have been up to absolutely nothing the past few weeks. The kids have enjoyed their usual unhealthy amount of television and my camera is covered in an impressive film of dust from lack of use.
Brandon is so busy with work,school, and studying for the abnormal amount of tests he has to take, that I sometimes forget he exists. I probably would forget completely, if not for the aura of stress that sits at the kitchen table reminding me that I have to keep the kids semi-quiet. As for myself, other than "celebrating" a certain birthday I refuse to acknowledge (I'm sorry, I simply can't be 30, it's just not possible), I've just been working, reminding myself that I should probably start exercising again someday, failing miserably at keeping the house clean and cooking nutritional meals, and I've - of course - been reading. I'm afraid I'm not much fun to talk to these days, unless you want to talk books or hear me complain. (I expect my phone will be ringing off the hook with people dying to spend time with me after reading this one!)

Overall, life is good...just dull. Keep checking in! I'm bound to have more tales of fascinating nothingness to share soon!
