Still Kickin'

That's right - I'm still alive and kickin'! I've been quite busy and haven't had much blogging time. I'm even behind on blog reading again!

I have so much to catch up on, I'm not even sure where to start. I have lots of pictures to share, and I'm going to have more before the weekend is over.

I'm not going to share any tonight, or this post will end up being painfully long. I will get them into a slide show and share them on my next post.

We went to visit my Granddad on Saturday and then Chip's Grandmother yesterday, so I have lots of good pictures coming!

Monday was my birthday and it was a fabulous day. My neighbor had been "stealing" Ruthi away to work on a gift for me, and Ruthi got to help bake me a birthday cake. I haven't taken a picture of the gift yet, but I'll get that done and put up soon too.

And by this weekend, I will probably be blogging from my new laptop!!! It is actually my hubby's laptop, but it's about to become mine. He needed a smaller one since he carries his everywhere, so I am absolutely thrilled to be getting his "old" one. I was excited when he showed me the other one that was coming but actually thought to myself that I'd have to figure it all out. When I discovered I would be getting his current one, I was actually more excited!

He's been going through the tedious process of moving all the stuff from one to the other. And I've been going through files and trying to delete a bunch of stuff I don't need anymore to make it a little easier for him to move all the stuff from this computer to my new one. Once the move is complete, this computer will become CJ's, and he's just a little bit happy about that!

I know I've been scarce in posting lately, and I thought I'd do something to get me going again. So I joined the NaBloPoMo for July. However, I already goofed up and missed yesterday! So I won't get my 31 days, but I'm still going to try to go for it and post every day for the rest of this month.

There is actually a monthly theme, and for July it is food. So I'm going to try and post quite a few of my favorite recipes this month. But I'll be posting regular stuff too. We'll see how it goes!

That's all for now - I'll work on getting these pictures ready to post. Be back tomorrow!
