Yes, I'm alive & well.
And no need to worry/feel sorry for me...I just got home from Greece.
Spent one week teaching and a another week sightseeing with Josh Downs. (And in my book, people who get to spend two weeks in Greece don't deserve sympathy.)
And yes, I am wearing a swim-suit in that shot (but rest assured, I was also wearing a cover-up to hide my sausage legs.)
My husband had never seen me in a swim-suit.
And yes, that is my mojito in the lower left corner.
Though my husband has seen me drink many a mojito.
I left town feeling defeated & overwhelmed but came home feeling refreshed & hopeful...and tired. (Can't sleep...hence, I'm writing this at 4:45 am on a Sunday morning.)
But refreshed, hopeful & tired sure beats defeated, overwhelmed & tired.
Hope to be back to my regularly-blogging-self very soon.
Have missed you guys.
Welcome back...I'm sure it was an amazing trip!

Karen - good to see you again. I'm thrilled I didn't see your TP roll. Can't tell you how dissapointing it was to see that everytime I looked for you.

I have been reading your blog for several years. I found it by accident, but found it so interesting that I kept coming back. Everyone needs breathing room from time-to-time, so take the time you need.

I can't think of anyone who deserves the break more, okay maybe me, but I am so glad you had a great time. I can't believe that Josh Downs would miss the beginning of football season, giggle.
