I feel that I owe all the ladies that read my blog and explanation. I have not been blogging lately and let me explain why. When I was blogging regularly I felt like I was ignoring Husband. We only have a few precious hours in the evening together and I was spending close to an hour (some days) staring at a computer. Of course, my great Husband ever complained or said anything but I just had this guilty feeling in my core. I don't want to go through the motions and not be present with him when I can. Now of course there are times when he's busy or playing Wii and I do plan to use those times for blogging and commenting.
I hope you can understand. As much as I LOVE this community, I know being a good wife is a job for life.
I will be back in a more sporadic/regular fashion; blogging a few times a week but not daily.
Here's a highlight list of what I've been up to:
- landscaped the front yard (brick, pansy flowers and mulch... oh my!)
- planted pansies for my Mom
- decorated for Christmas
- gained a few lbs (but nothing that can't come off with a little more focus and determination)
- fixed a great Carmel Apple Cranberry crisp from my Cooking Light cookbook
- made 3 Thanksgiving food items that were well received: low fat pumpkin dip (cool whip, 1 can Pumpkin Purree, box of Vanilla pudding mix, 1 tspn pumpkin spice), spinach salad with feta, nuts and craisisns, and broccoli salad
- ran crazy barely marked Turkey Trot 10K (the Saturday before Thanksgiving) and PRed
- wrapped several Christmas presents
What have you been up to?

Missed you! Sounds like you've been busy. Glad to have you back even a couple times a week!
Glad to see you! I've missed your blog. I know what you mean about only having a few hours in the evening... I have the same problem and it really can be a struggle to find time for everything. I completely understand!
Thanks! I feel like they are totally attainable goals too. I hope you Thanksgiving was lovely as well! Sounds like you made some delicious dishes! I am so glad you are back! Hope you are having a great week!
Oh, don't worry about being busy with your life and love! I understand!!
Your husband is more important than us!!
Congrats on the PR!
I am glad to "see" you back, but definitely understand how time consuming blogging can be, sometimes.
Congrats on the PR!
I understand the whole husband time thing. When I finally get a full time job I definitely won't have as much time to spend online! Family always comes first.
Family time is soooo very important! I'm lucky where I can read, comment on and write posts during the down time at work. And right now, I'm getting into a rut and haven't been blogging much at all. I have times where I blog daily, then times where I blog once a week, if even that much. No worries, doll!
Glad you are okay and were just away being with your hubby. I worry when I don't see people on the blog for awhile. I try to keep the majority of my blogging in the morning while eating breakfast and then just a quick look right before bed. There is so much to read in the blog world that I'm never caught up.

You sound busy! And when blogging's eating into your evening hours w your significant other, some compromise is needed. Do your thang.
