So I think I don't blog anymore because we're all on Ravelry and I share all my crafts there for the most part. Other than that my life isn't very full of interesting stuff so I feel like I have nothing to share. Also I'm so busy yapping of Facebook that I just have nothing left. Are you guys on there? And do you farm in Farmtown?

If that question makes no sense to you that's good. Farmtown is a little Facebook game that is ridiculously addicting. For a while there I was playing more than I was crafting. I know! The horror right? But things seem to be back to normal now...

I also started to get back into reading. I used to read all the time. Seriously, ALL the time. Like stay up all night engrossed in a book. Then I completely fell out of it. Then I never had time. But this year I've been trying to get back into it. 1 because I like it and 2 because really, I just feel smarter if I read (even if it's trash). I'm not reading anything brainy but I am reading and so far I'm sure I read more this year that I had in the last two. Which is kind of sad because I'm sure the total count is less than 10. But hey, it's progress.

The kids are doing well. Ashleigh and Sam are both 15 now and fully engrossed in the teen angst that we all love (HA!). Em is 9 and fully engrossed in trying to have teen angst. She will be the death of me but I've been saying that for 6 years now so I'm sure you all know. :)

We've been having a good summer despite Em's new schedule and the crazy weather. I for one am not complaining. I'm pretty sure we made it to the beach 4 to 5 out of every 7 days so far and I've been sleeping like a baby when the night's have been cooler. Plus we've only run the AC like 5 days which makes me want to do the happy dance.

And that's where we are. I'll try to blog more often. I promise. I hope you're all doing well, if there are any of you all left out there. ;)

Oh and you should know...

that my kid totally wore that dress the other day. And it looked cute and it didn't come apart at the seams and no one gawked at her goofy dress. Yay me!
Deneen tagged me. I suspect it was mostly to see if I'm still out here or not... I am and I'll gladly play along.

7 things you might not know about me:

1) I made myself learn to love coffee because I think it's cool to drink coffee. It's a good thing I don't think cigarettes are cool anymore...
2) I said something bad and jealous to my kid the other day because I was pissy that she had to leave again for her father's. Now I feel really bad for her.
3) I love my house. (Ok you might know this but I hated my last house a lot so I like to say it. )
4) I secretly listen to all the songs I tell my kids they can't hear. Eminem is one of my favorites.
5) I don't have a favorite color. I like them all. I like them best when they're all together.
6) I love shopping for school supplies and always want to buy myself new notebooks and pens and binders.
7) I am petty. Very. If you annoy me I will intentionally irk you because why would you annoy me? But it doesn't mean I don't love you. :D
