Left Alone Too Long.

I have been neglecting my blog's, I do appologize. I will attempt now to give some feeble excuses as to why. Why will I do this you ask! Simply because I can

The biggest reason is due to the recipe section. Yes I was obsessed with it there for a little while, I was on a mission to list a traditional recipe from each of our 50 states here in the U.S.. And I am proud to say, that I finished this yesterday morning. It was actually a lot of fun. To my surprise, I accidentally learned things about each of the states. I shared a little history with each recipe because I found many of them to be interesting. I also only listed recipes that I myself have ate, or would eat. I am now contemplating on whether or not I should attempt a recipe from every country in the world. Sooo much fun! Oh and because I am such a freak to detail, in everyone of the descriptions I started it out with "U.S. State of whatever". That way the recipes can be sorted by description and all the states will be displayed. I know I think too much!

However, I have already been questioned about North Carolina so I may change that one. Apparantly my friend from there does not agree with the states opinion on favorite foods.

The next biggest reason is I was feeling all competitive there for a couple days and was determined to get me in the Arcade championship placings. And YAY!!! I did accomplish this, I was able to stay in 3rd place for a couples days! But then, my winnings were slowly chipped away by jealous admirers of my 3rd place standing, by the likes of NICK and HLIAS, and few others that I don't know well enough to pick at! Shame on you all, taking away an old ladies glory like that! Just you all beware, I will come back, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, someday when you least suspect it! "I'll be back" I am the Paminator you silly rabbits!

Then there is the excuse of work, that is my go to excuse. My work is trying to kill me, this is the first weekend that I actually had 2 whole days off in 2 months. I've been working 12 to 14 hour days. All work and no play has made the Pink panther a dull lady! Woe is me! Its a good thing I like my job or there would be hell to pay for somebody, yes yes heads would role! Look at me I think I am the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS".

Last almost valid excuse are the holidays - here in America our busiest time of the year is from the 3rd Thursday in November (Thanksgiving) to after the 1st of the New Year. Parties and family gatherings, shopping for food/gifts/decorations, cooking for family gatherings/parties/gifts, buying/wrapping/giving and recieving of presents. Busy busy busy!!! I have 35 family members to buy or make gifts for and then I have my daughter which I spoil each and every Christmas. So I am constantly on the go during this time of the year.

However, I will not whine or even pretend that no one else can understand these excuses, we all have our busy times. I just need to learn to manage my time better, please forgive me blog god for I am not worthy , I will attempt to give you regular updates.

*KISSES & HUGS* to you all!
