I'm terribly sorry that I haven't blogged in 12 days.  Sometimes, life just gets out of control.  When that happens, non-essentials need to go by the wayside.  For me, that means my blog doesn't get updated.

First, I adopted a dog on March 29.  Her name is Hershey and she's ridiculously cute, but she's also quite a handful.  Much of my spare time has been spent with her.  That's her at the bottom of this post.

I also took a long planned vacation with my sister.  I intended to blog from the hotel, but my spare laptop decided that my vacation was a good time to stop working.

I came home to start preparing brunch for an expected 9 people.  (It turned out to be 6, but the work is the same.)  All in all, it's been a bit hectic.  I'll try to do better in the future.  I'm sorry I deserted you all for Passover and Easter.
