I try not to make excuses but I’m totally going to blame my lack of blogging on my new phone. How do you figure, you might ask. Well, I get all my email on my phone so I deal with the very important ones right away, delete the trash and save the not-as-important for another time. Therefore, I don’t open and start up my actual computer anywhere near as often as I used to. Without starting up my computer, I don’t spend any time on the internet. This has seriously cut into my Facebook time and I don’t Twitter as much, and, CLEARLY, I don’t ever blog anymore!

I realize that there is no one to blame but myself, but I’m hoping that now that I have discovered the reason behind my lack of online activity, I will take steps to correct the problem! But the good news is that Facebook hasn’t consumed hours of my life…see, there’s always a plus side!

I know, we just got back from a family vacation! But Lance and I are headed to Memphis for a long weekend. Just the grown ups. We are very excited and I’m sure I will tell you all about it in next week’s blogs!

Have a great weekend!

PS. We’ll check for “pretty little things” in the Jungle Room!

Sometimes it’s not so great to be the boss.

Today was my Mom’s 71st birthday. You may or may not know her but she opened the first Cheese Corner in Viroqua in 1986. She’s amazing. We didn’t really do a spectacular job of honoring that today. I mean, we could have probably come up with a better plan than to have her drive up to La Crosse to see us, take her to Rudy’s for lunch (although it was mighty tasty), take her to the bookstore for a browse then bring her back to our house and have my daughters nag her until she played badmitton with them. But I gotta say, we had a nice day and I only hope that when I’m 71, I will be playing badmitton with my grandkids!

Happy Birthday, Mama!

I don’t know if you’ve met my daughter, Emma, or not but she is indescribable. I love her to death and she is a true mystery. Her bedroom is decorated in Spiderman colors and posters, her favorite colors are any that she deems “boyish,” she wears Packer or Badger shirts virtually every day. Don’t be fooled, she has an incredibly soft side, but even her dress clothes have to walk a fine line with being “too girlish.” But she is a tiny little bit of a thing that I’m not even sure tips the scale past 50 pounds and she’s almost 10 years old. Well, she surprised even me yesterday. She brought home the brochure from the elementary strings program and told us that she wants to play the string bass. Now as her supportive parents we had to fight the urge to giggle and tell her that sounded great when all the while, I’m trying to picture her behind an instrument three times her size. Don’t get me wrong-I truly think it is great! But she has to check with the director to see if she’s tall enough…see why it makes me giggle?

I haven’t told you all about the road trip! Well, I will spare you ALL of the details and just tell you that we had a great time! There was minimal too-much-time-spent-together-in-a-car fighting, we saw tons of awesome stuff, had a lot of laughs and put 3000 miles on Lance’s Honda. I think the true highlight was our day of white water rafting, followed by only three hours of driving and then kicking back at the hotel pool. (It was the best hotel pool evah!!! Big, warm, clean and void of other people!)

I have noticed that the highlight of our trip is the most relaxing day in the itinerary. For those of you that know me, this is a bit of a change. Maybe I’m growing up…or just slowing down…or getting old. Oh well, all three of those are better than dead!

I haven’t blogged for a ridiculously long time. Frankly, I’m not really sure that anyone reads it but it’s like an assignment that I haven’t taken care of.

But there is no blogging inspiration today so that’s all for now.

Have a great day!
