Call Me Hermit (the crab of coarse)

So the last couple months I have kind of stayed to myself, haven't really done so much or talked to many people. It is kind of weird because I am usually not like this. I have several reasons...

1. So, I am totally going to blame Tate, my sister-in-law, for my "inexistance" lately. We took a suprise weekend trip to Las Vegas over Memorial Day. Tate told me I needed to read the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. I had heard of them before and was uninterested... But I decided to read them anyway. Well, I have to say that I love them... and reading them has instilled in me something that was NEVER there before..... A love of reading. I have read 10 books (no not picture books!) and am on my 11 since that weekend. Any chance I get I want to read. I never before understood people who LIKED reading.... and now I am one of them! I find I watch a lot less TV, which is a good thing, but I also do a lot less of other things too (like blogging!)

2. June was CRAZY!!! It felt like the whole month I was gone... oh wait a minute, I pretty much was! I was gone for 4 days at a cheerleading camp, got home for two days - just enough time to do my laundry and re-pack - to drive a FULL van (6 adults and 1 child) to St. Louis for my little brothers wedding. I was home for an entire week... yea, hard to believe... but the whole time we were planning and preparing for the open house (for my brother and new sister in law) here. Then 5 days later, we are off again to camp for the fourth of July.... Yep, that was my whole month!

3. After cheerleading camp, I shut down. We had the month of June and July off from cheerleading practice or anything related... So, I figured I was going to just chill out. Seriously, sometimes I am just sitting listening to music, doing absolutely nothing.... and absolutely Loving it!

I am sure I can come up with more reasons (I am sure) but those are the biggest reasons for my Hermit Crab behavior.... I will try to be better! :)
