no good

I'm not a very good blogger.  Not lately at least.  I don't know how these women with the thousands of hits a day mega blogs do it.  Maybe if I got paid to blog I would do better.  But I don't think there's anyone out there willing to pay for my thoughts.  Maybe my mom?  Mom, would you pay me to blog?  You might have to sell the place at Sunset...on second thought I would rather have a place to visit at the beach than get paid for this.  So maybe I will just try to do better.

Since I am healthy again, as in I no longer have a bad cold and/or fever, this week has been slightly back to normal.  We have done home school, I started back with language classes, I've counted my calories/exercised, and all the other normal things that take place each week at our house.  It's been a pretty good week although I'm seeing slowly and surely that I am busy most of the day and then at 8 I'm ready for bed.  I try to hold off till at least 9:30. 

My food journey has gone pretty well this week.  I'm trying a new recipe for dinner tonight.  Bean burgers.  I just heard Stan groan at the thought, but too bad.  I looked to this recipe posted several months ago to get my basic idea.  Although I couldn't find black beans that are like black beans I'm used to and had pintos on hand, so I'm using those instead.  Will it be yummy and delicious or inedible?  Only time will tell.

Also, I'm leaving on the 7:50 am bus tomorrow morning and headed to KM to attend a ladies retreat.  200 ladies and we all have at least one thing in common.  Should be a blast.  I must admit though that I'm worried about things getting too touchy feely.  Sometimes I hate that.  Especially if I don't know many people, which sounds even worse.  I might have negative thoughts towards other ladies who love that sort of thing.  Not on purpose, mind you, but because I'm immature and tend to be sarcastic and make jokes if I feel uncomfortable.  Either way, I'm praying that each of us is blessed this weekend.  And that I can be sensitive to the other nice ladies who will be there.  We are all made differently, and most likely I will be the weird one.  That is more than likely, actually.

So hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  Next week will be yet another crazy one with some visitors in from FL.  Fun and busy.  You know, like normal life.
