I know, I know. Blogging has stopped again. I spent most of last week over a toilet bowl with a horrible stomach virus. (I hope you didn't get it Ashley!) After much rest and lots of Pedialyte, I'm feeling much better. I finally got back to the blogging world the other day and found that everyone had posted several times, so now I feel so out of it. I'm going to try to catch up as the week goes on.
I'm also on vacation in the absolutely beautiful northwest of Michigan, so I may not have the desire to type up a blog post until I get back to hot old Houston. I'll post another belly picture then.

Beth over at The Natural Mommy is hosting a brand-new fantabulous event on Thursdays! I'm so excited I think I'll explode. (Okay. Not really.) But just to be safe, head on over there and see what the fuss is about. And just for fun, I'm putting her cute little button on my blog. :-)

Ashley has decided to pare down her blog a bit, and has graciously asked me to host "Sunday Ponderings." I am delighted to do it! The idea behind this carnival is to spend time reflecting on various aspects of Sunday worship, whether it be the music, the sermon, or any Scripture passages during the service. I've found that worship has much more meaningful for me as I ponder each service during the quiet afternoon around the house.

Each week, I'll be posting an article here, along with a Mr. Linky for those who write their own posts. I'll try to provide a new graphic for those interested as well. So join me next week as I begin hosting! :-)

Due to an overly long episode of American Idol and preparations for a dinner party tomorrow evening, there will be no regularly scheduled posting.

Someday I'll keep finished drafts in my box to post for nights like this, just like the really cool bloggers do.

I plan on tackling my overflowing closet over the next few weekends, for various reasons. (I've attempted this before, to no avail.) I'll try to post pictures of its present state tomorrow, since I'm tired and want to go to bed.

It was so incredible to have my sister for a visit this past weekend, but with all the driving, car-shuffling, forgotten-item-shipping, and other odds and ends the past few days, I haven't had a chance to catch up on my real life. I'll explain more about the weekend later.

Today was spent get the apartment back in a semblance of order, so now that the house is clean and it is well past my bedtime, blogging will have to wait.

I have an actual, real-life guest coming in this weekend for a wonderfully cheery visit. So, blogging may slow for a bit over the next few days. Don't miss me too much. :-)

I just arrived back home from a women's Bible study, so I'm dead tired and non-coherent, so I will update this blog tomorrow.

I'd like to strike through things on my fall cleaning list on my sidebar as I do them, but I'm unfamiliar with how to do that in Blogger. Any thoughts?

You know how a stationary object will stay stationary unless acted upon by an outside force? That's sort of how I feel. I hadn't realized it's been a month and a half since I've been here. The longer I've been away, the harder it has been to motivate myself to get back in motion on this blog. Now that I have the momentum going, I should have a few posts rolled out by the end of the week. :-)

Really, today is February 25, 2008, but I don't like having a month missing in my archives. So there.
