Hard as it was, we returned home this week from our fabulous vacation. It was such a fun trip, a vacation within a vacation, first California, then Hawaii, then California again, and hours after Neal picked us up at the airport, we loaded up the car and drove to Louisiana to spend a very short but fun day at his family reunion. Needless to say, for as much fun as we had, we are a bit travelled out for a while, and are looking forward to reacquainting ourselves with our friends and our normal life here in suburban Texas.
If I can get a handle on the GOBS of housework I have looming over me at the moment, and if I can get this silly baby to take a good nap today, I'll try and post some pictures.
I feel like I should take a little roll call to see if anyone is still reading my little blog here. I hope you are! It's interesting, while absence certainly makes the heart grow fonder in the case of husbands (we were away from Neal for about 2 weeks), it doesn't seem to be the case with blogs and/or computers. I was so completely out of blog-mode while I was away. I didn't really check blogs or email, not because I couldn't (my parents do own computers), I just found that I didn't really care too much about it. In fact, it's taken me a couple of days to even log on since I've been home. It was nice for a change, and now that I am home, I realize that my blog and all those other blogs I like to read are mostly just an escape mechanism from housework, sad as it is (well, and I like to see what my friends are up to). While I had no housework, I didn't crave blogs, and now that I have work to do, the computer looks tempting. Maybe the best way to get myself off the computer is to get a maid. I'll have to talk to Neal about that. :)
Ok, back to the laundry. Look for pictures soon!

welcome back! its no doubt an escape - and a bit of an addiction for me certain weeks. its nice that you had a break!
i wondered where you were. i forgot you were going to louisiana. i couldn't have cared less about blogging while we were gone. but now that we are home, i care again. i wish i didn't so much.
Glad you're home safely. I forgot you were going to LA too, and wondered why you hadn't blogged this week. Since I use my blog as a journal (not for the sake of entertaining others, though sometimes it serves both purposes)it actually helps me do housework and projects. I really didn't want to clean out that hall closet of mine. But, being able to snap some photos and put them on my blog was actually motivating. Now when I see the pictures up there, I smile. Soooooo glad it's clean.
welcome back - miss you like MAD - can't wait to see photos - when ARE you coming to see me?!
here!
and hear-hear!
gracie and were away from robby for 3 weeks last year. it was awful. i'm so glad you are back, though!
Hi Leslie, this is Alison Lewis, Jeff's sister...I love your blog...I finally after months of reading Kelly's and snooping around, decided to make my own. Anyway, I do love all your crafty idea's and the fun stuff you post...so, although I'm a newbie and blogging is consuming me...just thought you'd want to know that because of Kelly and all her friends like you, I too had to join the fun (or should I say obsession?). Glad you had a fun trip and are back home safe and sound!
Still here... missed your blogging! Glad to hear that you had a great time and glad that you're back, too! I'm so with you on the blogging as an alternative to housework. So much more attractive! Hmmm... a maid... the cure for blog addiction! I'll have to mention it to the husband!
That's why I blog...it seems to work really well.
Welcome home. I checked your blog everyday. You can call me your blog-sitter. Missed ya. Welcome home!
HERE!
glad you're back!
