And.... We're Back!

Well, hello! Apparently I have a blog, and even more surprising is that there are a few people who still read it. Who knew? And here I thought the entire blogging world would simply crumble and fall as soon as I started losing interest. I guess society really doesn't adjust it's courses to meet my fancies. Ah, well. It's a new year, and what better time to aim for improvement than the month of January? So here I am, for better or worse.

I'm afraid this post will be picture-less (and a bit pointless). I'm sure I have a few photos stashed away in my camera from Christmas. But quite honestly, I was too sleep-deprived on Christmas to remember if I took any pictures. And I'm too lazy right now to go find it and see if I did. Because really... what if there are some cute pictures? Then I have to download them, add them to this here blog, write clever little captions... Honestly, it's just way too much work. I assure you, we had a delightful Holiday season (at least, I think we did... Did I mention I was sleep-deprived?). There's really no need to bore you all with specifics. We'll sum it up with: Brandon worked too many hours and went to bed before me most nights (this is unheard of any other time of the year). I worked too many late nights and can't recall much of December, though I'm sure I ate too much because I'm several pounds heavier than I was a couple months ago. The kids were giddy and excited and surprisingly content and well-behaved. As a family, we spent way too much money, but sure had a lot of fun doing it.

Not much has happened in my 6-month blogging hiatus. Or at least not much that I feel like talking about at 10:30 at night. I'm mainly here to say I'm still here, and to make vague and most likely empty promises that I'm going to try to post more often. Who knows, if I get crazy ambitious, I might even have a picture or two to show off next time. Until then, Happy New Year to you all! Best wishes for meeting all the goals you made last year and weren't able to reach! (Please tell me I'm not the only one who's just recycling resolutions from years past...) It's never too late! This is the year of the fresh start - I can just feel it!

SHERI!!!! It is so nice to her y9our voice in writing again! Welcome back! And good luck with the sleep deprivation- that is excruciating. I hope it ends VERY soon for you.

As for recycled resolutions, I get to totally check mine off from last year. Why? Because I actually ACCOMPLISHED it! What was it, you say? What manner of remarkable self-discipline must I have attained to? None, actually. My goal was to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I knew I had the stamina to work on that- and I did! If you ever want the recipe I'd be happy to share!

Now this year is a different story- my lack of resolve last year has left me with a HUGE list this year- better personal scripture study, exercise, temple more often, more budgeting, feeding my family more veggies- all the normal stuff I will have to re-resolve for next year! Oh well....

Hilarious and honest! And I relate so well! Thankfully we're(mostly) done with the sleep deprivation part of babyhood - depends on the night. Good luck to you!

For awhile there I thought I was the only one that blog's anymore. I kept telling myself it's for me and not for anyone else anyway. But I liked to think someone still liked it and didn't feel it was so 2005 to blog:)
