Still Around

I know I haven't been posting a ton lately- but you know how summer can be. Between being a little under the weather lately and keeping up at work and trying to juggle family get-togethers, friend stuff and trying not to let our un-ending house hunt die out...I am BURNED OUT!

I keep trying to think of fun things to post about but to be honest, until I get my energy back I can't imagine being interested in anything! Even shopping has lost its allure.(I am sure it is only temporary.) So the only thing I really care about this minute are the things that make me feel better when I am not feeling by best.
