Hard to get started....

I have been taking way too long to get this going. I know, I know! I hear it constantly; "Get your blog back up! GET IT UP!" How kind of all of you...do I write that well? Is my "stuff" that compelling or are ya just buttering me up so you can ask for my secret recipes? Well, I am here and back. Blogspot is a new home for me so bear with me as I adjust to a new atmosphere.

I had some computer issues, dealings w/the kids especially since my 9 yr. old son Ian is home all day, wanting to eat all day as well keeps me a bit busy. Plus, just plain old hesitation and not wanting to change(chalk it up to old age, if you will) as I begin a new blog life here on Blogspot. I had used various sites which closed down on me leaving me lost and off to retrieve most of my musings and save them in some odd folder in the "my documents" section of my computer. I have blogged and been blogging for God knows how long. And how often, you ask? Sheesh...too often..to the point where my son has accused me of having "blogitis" on certain days at various times during said days. He is completely serious, of course as he points his finger and telling me I have to make him elevenses or "elevensies" for the third time that day. We also watch "Lord of the Rings" quite often.

Deviating from the topic slightly, I apologize.

I have so much to share and yak about so come back later. I need to post my review of the Woodstock Tribute Concert in Woodstock, IL this summer, I have to inform you of the best coffee houses in Chicago, why roadside corn on the cob is so much better than grocery store brand, the Walk for Autism outing, my problems with Schwan's(yes, the food delivery company) and Target's online services, the difference between Masterpiece Theater's and Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility" and much more.

The summer isn't over yet a lot has happened to us....plus, I need to vent, so....
