Holding My Breath

I've been silent for so long! Sorry about that. I don't know that I have a lot I want to blog about, but at this point I think I'd better just suck it up and give an update or, who knows. I could never blog again.

I know what you're thinking. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! What would I do without your rambling, random, sometimes incoherent and at-other-times overly personal and awkward posts?" Have no fear. I won't let it happen. I'm here for you. Ok, so I'm here for me mostly and you a little. But you get the idea.

My lack of posting is not for lack of life happenings or activity. Why, Ben and I just took a delightful trip to Minnesota for Easter to hang out with Jon & Anne and their kids. Jeff & Erika came up as well, so we had a really good time doing what we do -- eating, chatting, playing games and otherwise making merry with family while doing nothing particularly productive. It's one of my favorite ways to spend time.

Actually, I can't say I did nothing productive. I did help Anne stuff envelopes for the Republican candidate she is caucusing for in the race for US Senate. This is very nice of me since I don't normally make a practice of helping Republican candidates. But I do help sisters-in-law. So, he got lucky due to a caveat. Just like a politician.

I mostly haven't blogged because there is news and happenings I would LIKE to share with you, but I can't because the particular news and happenings I'd like to tell you about have yet to transpire. I'm just waiting for them. And they're taking so long. I get frustrated a lot these days, waiting for things to come together.

It's not all bad news though. The dress business is a bright spot in my dull canvas called life. I will have two styles of dresses available for purchase for the Summer 2012 season -- just weeks away. Crazy huh?! I'm really excited about that (when I'm not overcome with anxiety about it. You can read more about that here if you desire.) So, I should have more good news on that front soon. Rest assured, you will hear about it EVERYWHERE when the dresses are available. I will mercilessly self-promote once they're on sale. You've been forewarned.

But that's really the only big thing going on right now. Granted, it's big, but I'm a demanding sort of person and I was hoping for more. So, stay tuned. There could be more on the way. I certainly hope so. Aand please don't take this to mean that an announcement that we're having a baby is impending. I hate to dampen your spirits by telling you this is not what we are waiting for, but, well, .... it's not what we're waiting for.
