Silence is not golden--on a blog

I admit it.
I have been a naughty blogger.  I have allowed myself to get so wrapped up in the summer, my kids, my college classes and etc. that I have neglected my blogging. I have read through many blogging tip sites that a good blogger blogs steadily if not often and I believe it has been a month. ack!

Since May I have finished my spring classes and jumped right into summer classes. Even though summer classes are condensed and a little harder I have always enjoyed them because of the way I have taken the classes previously, I was able to focus on one class at a time. Not so much this summer. This summer I had 3 difficult classes I was juggling as they crammed assignments at me in only 5 wks. It has been a bit stressful and time consuming.

This year my husband and I decided to have a 4th of July shindig. So it took quite a bit of our time to prepare for it and to throw it. My house is still trying to recover from having 40 people in it. We also had some of hubby's family from down south visit us for a few days, which was rather nice and quiet but any time someone stays with you it does interrupt the natural flow of your life. Then their are the kid-related things we have done. Beaches, parks, playgrounds, bike-paths and Cedar Point(thus far)So, in  any case I have been busy all the way around. 

I know, I am making excuses but it comes natural. :D

As far as the juicing--so many things have conspired to make it nearly impossible to juice. Between stressful schedules, lack of money(or at least enough to by fresh produce) and then the juicer biting the dust, well, we have been lazy and have eaten whatever we feel like. ugh. So, I have resolved to substitute my juicing with blended smoothies(the blender still works-so, na-na fate) and 'Naked' juices for a couple of my meals and to eat healthy dinners. I have also been collecting work out videos and other exercise related thingies. So I am still going to struggle forth relying on stubbornness and optimism. Wish me luck.

Now that I have finished my crazy hard classes, I now have time to do some creative writing. Yay!
I have heard My character whispering to me at night. She has been getting pushy with me lately( which I have missed immensely) so much better than the cold shoulder. I am looking forward to vomiting some words on paper. :D




How has your summer been? What crazy things have happened to you? What was your 4th of July like? I'd love to hear from you. :)

Until next time(sooner--I promise) try to stay cool.
