Psssst!

Remember me? I know, I know, "Where have you been?" you might be asking.

Or, perhaps you didn't even realize that I've been a little absent from commenting this week.

I'm sending apologies by way of this quick little post, and also giving you a very short update on the chaos of me. Yes, always chaos. But, it's all good.

After a major heart-to-heart w/PG over us both stepping up and being a little more attentive to the family, the house, the laundry (augh) and each other . . . I committed to taking a break from the computer (i.e., BLOGLAND. AUGH! What was I thinking?) I guess a girl just has to do what a girl has to do. It seems every 6 months or so, PG and I have this little calling of the minds, when I really sit down and hash out the things that are getting to me. Poor guy. Not a fun night in our house for PG when this happens. The good thing, we come out stronger. I like that.

So, I've promised no computer time for me, until the girls are in bed and the things needing to get done were done. This week, by the time the girls were in bed and things were done ... I was pooped (as in "dog tired", "tuckered out", "burnt out", "done") and found myself climbing into bed without as much as a MINUTE on the computer! (Most of my posts were written prior to said heart-to-heart, I love that you can schedule posts ahead, don't you?)

So, this evening I'm hitting it! Expect to be overwhelmed with joyous comments from me . . . I've got a date with my computer, and can't wait!

Hope you're all doing well!
See ya soon!

    It's all about prioritizing, right? It has been quiet in Blogland - in general, with everyone! Looking forward to the joy you spread, and perhaps we can energize you with some happiness!

    You have to have priorities. So glad that the hubz understands that this is #1 on your list. LOL. Seriously, it is a good thing that you sat down and figured it all out. Having a blog is great, but your family always needs to come first:-)

    I have missed you for sure, but girl...I totally love, love, love that you know when things have gone askew and you are brave and strong enough to do something about it! Maybe if I had done a little more of that in my own marriage, I might still be married. :-/ Ahhh, live & learn - sometimes the hard way - but still... I think you're awesome. I really, really do.

    Yes, this darn computer/blog/tweeting thing sure can get in the way of regular life! I think a break is good here and there.

    I totally understand!! My poor hubby complains about my blogging addiction as well. I try to stay away from my computer when we're home together, unless he's asleep in his chair! HA!

    Leanne--Here's what you do, baby. You get yourself one of those mini/baby computers and sneak into the bathroom to blog! OH, wait a minute. I'm supposed to be supportive here....I totally understand you taking some time for your family.

    (Really, those computers are pretty cheap and you can always hide them between the towels!)

    It is very difficult to get the balance right but you must as real life is far more important :)

    Whats up with that! I was wondering what happened to you, after you asked if I was ok...I was thinking here I go and post my follow up and YOU don't even comment on it! I was about to email you and ask if you had fallen in to a hole or something. I was even hoping I'd make your "line of the week" :) Its all about me you know. I do so understand tho...that is for sure...like I said before, I wish I had more time to blog...but you have to live in the real world too, you know the one with your family in it.
    Missed you!!

    Oh I know exactly what you mean. It's so hard to balance sometimes. The only time I have is usually when the kids go to bed and sometimes I fall asleep putting them to sleep!

    So good to hear from you but just know that I completely understand and always look forward to your supportive and uplifting comments and posts!!

    I've been having a spell like that too. I really don't know how some ladies do it all and still have fab posts and comments galore all the time! Geesh!

    Oh, we have those heart to hearts at my house periodically too. Fun times!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
