My commitment to the blog...

I realized this weekend, during a 13 hour drive, that I truly have been slacking on the blog.  And, this made me very aware of the fact that a neglected blog is so boring!!  So, let me give updates and then, I will embark upon my new commitment to the blog...

The weekend home with Mom and Julia was fabulous!  Not to mention, I got to have margarita time with Susie, Becky, and Valerie.  

And, not that friends and family are not important, but, I WENT SHOPPING!  These were my favorite find of the weekend, a fabulous pair of wedges!

Easter Sunday was fabulous...each year Mom always amazes up with the traditional Easter "purse" filled with goodies that one should find in a basket!  Thankfully, she realized some time ago we love our purses far more than a silly basket!  This Easter was also one of those bittersweet moments of which I am becoming accustomed.  Adam was not there and it made me think about all of the holidays, birthdays and special days he will potentially miss over the next few years.  This combined with the realization that the mass numbers of friends that come home from IU with the Smith girls will most likely stop after this year!  But my goal has been to live in the moment, so for this weekend, I did just that!

And, it wouldn't be Easter without a picture of MY family, especially with having a new addition...sans Adam Mason, of course...

Alright, I promised my blog commitments:

1.  I will promise to post at least 3 times a week, even if it is completely silly information!

2.  I will experiment with new blogging techniques so that my blog stays exciting (did you notice, this was my first blog with pictures?)

Now, that my commitments mean that much to you, but sometimes when it is in writing...I stick to it!

Dabbler...

(n):  one who dabbles in many things.  I have decided this is the current state of my life.  I don't work, but I am not sure if I want to and Adam DEFINITELY doesn't want me to.  So, in all of my time, I have definitely begun to dabble.  Which leaves me wondering, are these all the things I have wanted to do, but never had time?  Are these things I want to be good at or are they just filling time?  And, most importantly, how long will they all last.  For now, I am okay with the dabbling.  They are just little things and maybe, just maybe, the things that stick will become hobbies.  I am convinced, however, if I drive Adam crazy enough with all of the dabbling, he might just drive me back to work...for now, I must dabble on...

Oh, and I guess it isn't fair to not fill you in on the dabbling...in the last month, I have:

*started a garden
*enrolled in another college course
*extreme couponed
*started blogging
*started cooking & baking...like regularly and seriously...I used my KitchenAid for the first time...
*started following the "FlyLady"

I think that is all, I'll let you know if I think of more...
