alive and well...just needed a little break

I'm so sorry to have been what amounts to the worst blogging friend ever.  I don't know what happened exactly.  It was like I completely rebelled against the computer at home.  No email, no blogs, I've barely watched T.V.  So, I needed a little break and I couldn't even bring myself to update my blog to say I was taking a break.  I knew I would want to start checking in with people and before you know it hours have gone by once again.  I am very sorry for any worry I may have caused or general annoyance.  It wasn't intended I assure you.  During my absence I gave up pop - my beloved Diet Coke :(  I adjusted what I was eating - smaller portions and trying to cut out sugar and lower my fat intake, and I've increased my work outs from almost non-existent (which they had become lately), to five days a week.  I reached a breaking point.  Too much sitting around eating whatever happened to make its way into my hands, and not enough taking care of myself properly.  I will keep blogging that is for sure, but I just needed some downtime from always being on the computer and sitting around.  I feel really good and am very happy with the changes I've made recently...although some days I really just want a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake...once and a while doesn't hurt I don't think.  A girl can't be deprived all the time! 

I will post soon with pictures of all of my new Nancy Drew goodies...the movie just came out!  My copy is patiently waiting for me to watch it on Friday night.  Can't wait! 

I'll post this weekend.  I hope you all are well.  I've missed you and am glad to be back.

Thank you for your patience!
