Shame on me!

I have not posted on this blog for almost a month - I don't have a good reason so I won't make excuses. It has always been my goal to write at least twice a week and I certainly have fallen way short.

What have I been doing? Since August 28, I have:

- had 11 One-to-One face-to-face meetings with others

- had dinner with three other couples (at Ansara's Steakhouse, of course) plus at least 5 other

dinners there with just the two of us

- worked 15 days in the store

- processed incoming items from 38 different consignors

- traveled to and from Chicago by Amtrak for a 3-day weekend to celebrate

our wedding anniversary

- set up and conducted the biggest sale ever to celebrate the store's 10th anniversary

- sponsored and exhibited at a play related to childbirth

- had 2 facial treatments by an esthetician who's a member of my BNI chapter

- attended and participated in 10 hours of BNI training for incoming leadership teams

- had a delightful lunch at the home of a customer

- attended 4 weekly BNI meetings of my own chapter

- kept a daily journal of everything I ate and drank

- went to our last Mud Hens game of the season

- volunteered as a server at a fund-raising "Rib-Off" event

- partied at friends' house

- had Sunday brunch at son's house

- celebrated Labor Day by doing absolutely nothing

- completed at least 63 online crossword puzzles (yeah, I know)

- presided at a committee meeting for an event in late October

- created an audiovisual for and attended a evening networking mixer

-finished two books

- attended a business board meeting

- attended a Master Mind meeting

- kept a dental appointment

- planned a Mystery Resale Bus Trip with my BFF

- rented a truck and picked up some new store fixtures in Birmingham, MI

- rearranged the front part of the store

and last but not least, made innumerable phone calls and sent at least 170 separate e-mails related to either the store or the aforementioned event. And, of course, I spent a little bit of quality time with my husband and talked to my Emme on the web cam at least once a week.

I'm not complaining - I absolutely love everything I did and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

So do you forgive me?
