Yes, I realize I have been missing and that a few of you have brought to my attention that I have not blogged of late. Okay, in all fairness, I did two entries on Thursday which means I really only missed three.... Right? I like my sense of justification - though we all know what highway is paved with good intentions...

So, where have I been you ask? Let's see, Friday was the last day of Spring Break for the kids and being the nice person I try to convince the kids that I am (LOL) I took them on a road trip to Estes Park and out for lunch.

Then Friday night, I couldn't possibly over look an opportunity to go out for dinner for our weekly pizza night at CiCi's in Greeley. By the time we got home(yada yada) I was too pooped to pop let alone blog!

That explains at least one of the days of MIA status. Then Saturday we set out to the Larimer County Boat and Fishing show at The Ranch (fairgrounds.) Following the show we went to dinner and then went and walked around several stores to burn off the dinner... All to be culminated with Culvers frozen custard sundaes. Perhaps I would have had a bit more energy to blog late in the evening had I not over indulged the appetite.... Bad, Bad, Bad I tell you, yes, I was so bad! But it was sooo good!

There you have the account for two of the days.

I was sure we were staying home Sunday as Ron was pretty well exhausted and has been up and down in fighting off the creep and crud that has been going around for the past several months. However, lo and behold he asked if we were game to go out to I-76 Speedway to take in an afternoon of free hot-laps. Hot laps for those of you less than savvy race fans is when the track opens up and allows the racers to come out and run their cars on the track to set them up for racing which is only two weeks away at that particular track. There is no official racing though some of them seem to forget there is nothing at stake as they practice sometimes as hard as they race.

We stopped on the way out to buy a couple of Colorado State Park annual passes at Jackson State Park and Lake so we have the summer rec season well under way.

We stopped at Murdock’s in Ft. Lupton and found some great bargains. Afterwards we made our way to the local Arby's for a quick dinner before heading home. It was getting late and the kids were going back to school on Monday.

Monday morning we went to a free consultation at a spine center that has some new equipment and process to help with previous back problems and such. Then it was off to the doctor to see about this high blood pressure issue that is simply refusing to go away on its own. I have to admit, I don't do doctors offices very well, but sometimes one has to do what they have to do. I begrudgingly realized they were not likely to allow me to start this other program unless I had the other issues addressed prior to starting. It's done now! I'm thinking positive that the medication will kick in and it will come down to where it should be. Once the other program kicks in, who knows maybe I'll even lose some much needed weight???? That's a thought! LOL

Monday night found us sitting around our dining room table with the local sheriff's deputies discussing the value of honesty and giving up old ways with one of the boys which kept us from church once more. Hopefully it will have some impact, but thus far, it's questionable at best. Fortunately, this time it was limited to an incident within the house and not at a retail outlet as was the case in December.

Hopefully this offers some small token of my sincere regret that I have failed to check in for such a time now.

Now that I have bored you with the trivial details of the past several days...No, we have not received word on the house -as the loan officer was on vacation for over a week. I'm thinking it simply doesn't look too promising at this point in time. Why with all the foreclosures and such, things are pretty tight and what we were proposing may have just been a little over the top. We are going to pursue a few different options and keep working on it and keeping our eyes open on other properties as well. The way I see it, if this door closes it was God's way of saying there may have been something wrong with the house or that he has a better plan still in the wings for us. I'm okay with it, but trust me.... If it works out I will still be more than happy to start packing to move there. I'm just going with God's lead on this one and trusting the process!

I'm visualizing a deal coming in at any time on the movie script I have with WL Literacy Agency that is being marketed to producers as I write and you read! I'm trying to break the habit of doubt that tends to automatically cloud my mind. Slowly but surely I believe I am breaking free of these old habits, but this in itself is a process!

And the book - will, we know it is in printing now and should be available to be ordered soon! I believe they said my comp copy should be here in a 4 to 6 weeks. That means 3 to 5 now.

I have to get my bum busy and get my next projects going and under way. I am also considering doing a script write for the book that is being released. If I get it done, I can send it in to see if it is accepted for marketing as well. That would be great fun! A book that becomes a movie too boot! Woo Hoo! Thinking big now!

Okay, once again it's getting late and I can't tell you why, but I'm working on limited energy lately... After an evening of playing with babies and working with the boys and the horses I need to shower and hit the hay for a nights rest!

I promise to attempt to get back on schedule the next few days!

In the mean time, Good Night and God Bless to one and all!
