Texas Lou

It’s been a while since I’ve written.  I always feel like there is so much I want to write about.  Everywhere I go and everything I do, I tend to make a mental note (and sometimes take pictures) of things I want to blog about.  Lately I’ve been really busy.  With the end of the year upon us and the holidays flying by, there is so much traveling, shopping, working, and responsibilities to take care of. 

I flew home less than a month ago for my dad’s 60th birthday, and I’m going home again this weekend for my brother’s graduation from the University of Texas.  Then two weeks later, I turn around and go home again for Christmas.  Three weeks after the new year, I fly to Vegas for the annual Vegas trip with the girls.  All of this, and I didn’t even go home for Thanksgiving. 

Then I’ve got to find time somewhere in between all of those trips to do Christmas shopping (and birthday shopping for the unusual amount of December/January birthdays among my family and friends), keep up with laundry, bill paying, and the usual daily responsibilities, and finish a very difficult project at work.  All of this while trying to train for the half marathon I’ll be running in March and meeting with my Computers 4 Kids mentee once a week is just stressing me out.

So, the goal of this post is not to complain.  I’m well aware of the very lucky life I lead and wouldn’t trade it for anything.  I just want to let everyone out there (if there is anyone that actually reads this blog) know why I’ve been slacking.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hopefully I’ll be posting again before Christmas!
