Hi again :)

Hi girls (and boys).  Hope everyone is well.  I can't believe it's been 2.5 months since I've blogged.  When I started this blog almost 3 years ago, I swore to myself that I would never be one of those bloggers that allowed their blog to fall by the wayside.  Unfortunately, this year has been incredibly rough for me, both of our older dogs passed away, my son was diagnosed with autism, and my grandmother died on Labor Day.  I also got a new job which is eating up all of my free time.  So it just happened.  For those of you that have stuck with me, I greatly appreciate it. 

I am desperately trying to get back in to blogging, not only because I enjoy it greatly, but because I do feel a responsibility not only to my followers and readers, but also to the polish companies that ask me to review their products.  I am currently working on posts.  However, I have such a backlog, that you may see posts from collections that have been out for awhile.  I am going to try and get to the holiday collections first, though. 

Thank you so much for reading,
Megan

Hi!

As my last post was a month ago, I feel it necessary to pop in and give you all a little update on my life.  It seems like blogging hasn't just taken a backseat, it's more like stuffed in the trunk.  :\ 

About 2 months ago, we started the process of getting my son evaluated for autism.  Two weeks ago, we got the official diagnosis... he's autistic.  Being a rational human, I realize that autism is not a death sentence, by any stretch of the imagination.  It just means that it's going to take a bit more work on everyone's part.  However, the mommy in me died a bit that day.  I was reeling and it took about a week for me to quit crying.  I kept going back and emotionally cutting myself by reading "A Trip to Holland".  I feel quite a bit better now and we do have a plan on place, but those first few days were rough.

Also, I've started working out like a mad person.  I go to the gym everyday and workout for about an hour and a half each time.  I've seen inches lost, but the scale keeps going up.  Stupid muscle mass.  LOL.  So there's where a big chunk of my free time has gone.

Plus, my job really ramped up over the past few weeks, but now we are seeing a decline in volume again, so I hope (*hope*), I may be able to get in some swatching soon.

I hate it that my blog has essentially died.  I do try to keep up with the blogging world on Twitter, but I still feel like I'm completely out of the loop, and I miss it.  :(  I think I really need to make a concerted effort this weekend to swatch some of the new collections I've received.  Though at this point, some are so outdated, you may no longer care.  :P

Also, I really don't want to do this, but I'm going to have to suspend blogger round ups.  I just don't have time to do them, and I don't want anyone entering in their info and waiting on me to get my act in gear.  I just don't know when that's going to happen.  I do plan on slowly doing them again, and I have plenty of blogs to list (both from my form and from my giveaway), so if you give me your blog info, you may see it in a roundup in the future, but for now, the round ups are going on an indefinite hiatus.

Anyway, thank you all for sticking with me.  I really hope I'm able to get back in the action again soon. 

Quick Update

Hi all, I apologize for being off the radar for much of the past 2 weeks.  I'm in the process of moving some rooms around in the house so that's made everything a bit topsy-turvy.  Also, I started my new job 2 weeks ago and I still haven't found a good balance.  I blog in my free time from being a SAHM.  Unfortunately, that free time is now being eaten up by this job.  Hopefully, in the future, I will be able to reach a happy medium, but for now it seems I am only able to blog in bursts.

I'm going ot be OOT for the next 2 days so I will have to make up that time with my job, so here's hoping I'll be able to bring you a few more posts next week.  I'm always available via email or twitter if you want to reach me.  :)

My Poor, Little, Negleted Blog

:(

Lately, I can't do anything but feel like I'm chasing my tail.  Between dealing with scheduling Blake's appointments, trying to de-clutter my house, and forgetting to charge my camera battery for 2 weeks, my blogging has all but fallen by the wayside.  I had great intentions of swatching, photographing, blogging last night but, I sat on my butt and watched a crap-ton of stuff on my DVR while folding laundry.  Tim is still out of town until Sunday, so hopefully... hopefully... I will be able to get the kiddos to sleep tonight and blog while they are snoozing.  I feel like I have so much to show you all.  I have Zoya Intimate and 5 Adorees, as well as a couple of treatments, waiting in the wings.  Plus, a few recent finds/loves that I have to show off.

I know no one likes a slack-ass blogger.  LOL.  But I'm really going to try to get back to your regularly scheduled posting soon.  I have to.  I miss it.
