The blog has been quiet for several reasons.
1. I was in Yellowstone (read majorly long road trip) and had no internet service. As much as I love the internet, it was great to have a week long trip where I didn't have to answer emails. I do have a few pictures which should totally be featured in National Geographic (not that I'm biased or anything) but in order for me to post them, I would have to save them to my laptop, and that would take effort. . . .
2. My dog had a stroke. Or at least, we were pretty sure she had. She was upstairs when she collapsed. It was very scary. We got her downstairs and outside where she proceeded to throw up. When she was done, she began to walk around like a drunk sailor, except for the fact that she is a dog. Anyway, when we got her to calm down, I noticed that her eyes were moving back and forth rapidly. I looked up her symptoms and decided that she has a disease that basically screws up an animal's inner ear. This leads to a motion sickness feeling which would explain the throwing up. Luckily, she went to sleep and when she woke up, she was completely normal. Her eyes were able to focus and she was jumping around like a puppy despite being an old lady!
3. I have been trying to write again. It is always hard to go on a vacation without any schedule to follow and suddenly come back home and try to do your normal things. Yeah, so my whole getting up early in the morning is not working out so well lately. But, it will get better! I promise.
4. I love reading, this is no secret! I bought something that will allow me to carry thousands of books at a time. No, it's not a Kindle, it's something much better! The All New NOOK!! I love it with a passion I didn't believe was possible. The reason I love it better than the Kindle (my friend has a Kindle, so I feel I am justified in making this argument!) is that it has a touch screen rather than a button. There are four buttons on either side that allow your to 'turn' the page and that is enough for me. I have read quite a few books already. It is just so much easier to carry this NOOK around than a book.
So that is why there haven't been any real blog posts. So instead of trying to make those up, I will give you something better. If you would like a new fantasy book to read, please pick up the Heir Series by Cinda Williams Chima. The series is amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Talk about the magical guilds! There are great characters as well as a plot that just won't stop!
I do believe that is it for now. I hope you have a great weekend, I know I will. Writing, here I come!!
