Hello, blog. It's me, Nichole. You know, the one that used to write you and, at very least, check you a couple times a week? I've been neglectful, I know. You see, it's not you, it's me. Sorry to give you a line, but it's true. I've had work, tee-ball for Monkey, soccer for Monkey, and soccer myself. Add a side of sleep and the occasional bathroom break and I'm exhausted. That really shouldn't be an excuse since I scour the internet for nearly the entire 8 hours I am at work for some entertainment (you know, one can really never get too much of Facebook, Amazon, Craigslist, and Ebay). I just seem to have lost my creative juices lately. I haven't even started a scrapbook for Mady-Lou yet, who will be 10 months old next week. Of course, I have bought hundreds of dollars in scrapbooking supplies for her. Am I lazy? Probably. Boring? Most definitely. But maybe we can rekindle our relationship and have a fresh go-at-it? I promise to be attentive to your needs. I even promise to try to be more insightful instead of spewing my lame ramblings all over you. It's a lofty goal, I know, but I'm willing to try if you are. What do you say?
