It’s been 45 days since I’ve posted. 45. And wow, has there been a plethora of events happening in my life. So much so that I’ve (literally and figuratively) pulled the covers over my head and pretended that certain things didn’t exist.

Things such as reports. Deadlines. Phone calls to return. A clean house. Oh wait, my clean house doesn’t exist.

February was…interesting. Fun, stressful, crazy, relaxing, long, short, a jumble of mismatched activities strung together until they resulted in me almost losing it.

And then March came. In case we’ve never met and you don’t know one iota about me, let me begin with this humble statement: I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY. Since March is my birthday month, and I love my birthday – March 15th – I celebrate all month long. Go ahead and rub your eyes. You’re not seeing things. All month long, baby.

As it turns out, celebrating your birthday month is not a valid excuse for not showing up at work. How rude!

(Lest a family member read this and think that I actually used that as an excuse, I didn’t. I pinky swear.)

What I mean is, there’s a reason for the lack of blogging, and that has a lot to do with the season of life I find myself in -the season where I find myself with gobs of time and then no time at all. The season where I don’t go to the store for a month because I’m lazy and that’s okay because I have no one I have to cook for. The season where I blow a ridiculous amount of money at the grocery store because I haven’t been all month and that’s okay because I bought all my favorite foods that I don’t have to share because I have no one I have to cook for. The season where I go buy new clothes because I didn’t think about what I was putting in my mouth for a month and suddenly new numbers appeared on my scale. The season where I lament those new numbers while taking part in a Netflix marathon. While eating thin mints. In my pjs. In the afternoon. Because I can.

Do you get my drift?

Basically, what I’m trying to say here is that I have no good excuse for not blogging. The word you’re looking for here is laziness. But you will get more of me! More randomness! More not so deep and probably quite ignorant thoughts on my faith! More family stories! More Raegan stories!

Right after my nap.
