Sorry guys, I haven't been ignoring you...really...not intentionally anyway....

First my computer goes out and I am without internet and picture uploading capabilities for weeks!  It was TORTURE!!  But now I have a loaner from my Mom-in-law. So I can TRY to catch up.... *whew* crisis averted there.... but now....

Guess where.... Yerp...JOMO. (That's Joplin, Missouri...)

(is it just me or is it totally hard to differenciate between the state of Missouri and Alabama??  Am I the only one seeing the similarities in shape??  It IS just me?  Harsh...)

We are repairing the damage to a home in Joplin (and when I say "we" I mean mostly my lovely MIL) and should be in sometime before October but we have to be out of our current place before the end of August...so we will be a bit nomadic for a month or so... but that's no biggie, I spent most of my college years as a nomad so I'm good.  (and yes, I always had an apartment in college, but I spent so much time going to Houston to see my folks or to Dallas to see my friends that I was hardly there unless it was the middle of the week and I was asleep...)

I have to bid farewell to my beautiful Texas...*oh how I love thee...*  To say that I am a tad stressed would be an understatement. I am STRESSED OUT OF MY MIND!! (Hence my insane rambling today)  The moving truck comes tomorrow and its like 11:00am and we aren't even close to being finished yet!!!

So...that is why I have been absent.  Really once I get plugged in and settled I am going to have TONS of cookie posts...and some before and afters of the house we're moving into perhaps.

Ok, now where did I put that packing tape?
