Someone's Missing

I've felt the exact same way Diana. Maybe everyone's lives are just boring right now and they have nothing to post about. lol. Hopefully it'll pick back up soon.

I thought everyone just up and left!! Many times I'm the only one here. Maybe everyone decided to catch up on all the stuff they neglected while on here last week....lol

I've been here! LOL! I just haven't posted as much because I've been swamped with papers and projects...getting near the end of the semester and it starts to become a bit tougher.

I've been away for days now. Plus, I worried my very dear friend Mandy. Girl, so so sorry!!

I've been so busy around here but hopefully things will slow a bit to get back on normally.

Looks like the activity runs in cycles. We were afraid a while back when it got really slow, then it got really busy with 100+ or even 200 posts per day. Now it has dropped off for a while. I, for one, have been very busy with other activities and just do not have the free time to get on here as much. Busy time of year. I probably won't be on as much from now until mid to late August. But will check in and post when I can.

Professionally, I'm an engineer who works full time and then some selling valves to petrochemical and power plants. But what I also do is help my hubby with his business this time of year. He's a custom home builder and in May, he puts a home in a Parade of Home Tour. To show well, the home has to be furnished and decorated, and that's my job. I had to pickout all the furniture and have it ordered by a local furniture store who will allow us to show it for the advertising. We will also need rugs, lamps, plants, placemats, table settings, bath accessories, everything it takes to make a show home. Some of the items we buy and return after the show, some we borrow, some come from our own home. A local artist is allowing us to display some of her paintings. It's quite a project. Then during the tour, I help him staff the home.

We also have vacation planning...church activities....we're getting a used 5th wheel RV ready for one of our daughters to live in at college next fall...we're selling a piece of property and some of my stuff is still in the buildings...we're trying to sell our home so we can build again either here or in another city. It just seems like there is a lot to do that takes time away from sitting here at the computer. And of course, we all have to deal with cleaning and laundry.

This is probably much more detail than you wanted. We ALL have busy lives and sometimes think ours is busier than others. I just get tired and stressed at times, like everyone does, and lately, I've been a bit extra stressed, not over anything really important, just the day to day stuff of life.

I've been on since September (I think?) but my posts are hit-and-miss. I get worried sometimes about posting things for ALL to see b/c you never know who will stumble upon a forum, since it is a public site. But I really do enjoy reading your posts and will stay active and post more when I find fun things to post about.

I'm not on near as much either, but do pop in quite a few times just to see what's happening. It's cold this week, so I'll probably be here more. Once the weather warms up again, I'll be busy again. Just hope we don't lose anyone.
