Hey Stranger....

Long time, no see....



My apologies, my dear blog friends, for my absence. I spent the last 5 days surrounded by family (who arrived on less than one day's notice, I might add), including three (yes, three...) 12 year old boys who descended on our icebox like a plague of half-starved locusts. Their father spent his time trailing around behind me moaning about his disintegrating marriage, and attempting to psycho-analyze me until I was forced to put a firm stop to it. (Dude, just because you're in counseling, does not make you an expert... back off!) It really started to get creepy - he simply would not leave me alone!

The end result was that I had no privacy. Thus no HNT, no posts of any kind in fact, until now. I'm not going to bother posting an HNT for last week, but I promise I'll have one up this week! I have a lot of reading to catch up on too, it seems. I'll try to get around to see you all soon!

I'm thinking about a new weekly feature. Something to combat the pervasive negativity I've been noticing around the blogosphere. It will probably be on Mondays, will probably include music, and will definitely be a group endeavor. If anyone knows how to make one of those lovely themed buttons we all use for those fun weekly themed posts, do get in touch and help a girl out! Watch this space starting soon for this new (hopefully fun) Monday post.

In the meantime, I hope you are all well and enjoying summer! I can't wait to catch up!!

XO ~ Scarlett

Negativity? Yeah, I noticed that going around too. I'm all for something new & fun. ;-)

I haven't noticed the negative but I did notice you were absent! Sorry I'm no help with the buttons but I'd hook you up if I could!

I missed you last week!

And I'm always up for some positivity! Check with Dangerous Lilly for button help, she's a pro at that sort of thing.

Love the idea for a weekly theme group activity!

We missed you, too! Ah, those pesky relatives!

I like the sound of your project. Looking forward to what you come up with!

Never a need to apologize when the blog goes silent for a while. It happens to everyone from time to time. (Happens a LOT to me...)

There has been a bit of negativity going around lately. But I manage to not let it get to me. (Not that putting up a purposely non-negative post would be a bad thing. hehe)

Welcome back, honey. I don't know if I told you this or not...but I wake up to you every morning as the startup on my laptop.

Appropriate. Especially with that hot bod and gorgeous ass that you own.

There...feel better?...:)
