I'm heading to California for a wedding soon. Not only will it give me the opportunity to visit with family I haven't seen in quite some time it will allow me to get away from the routine that has sucked up so much of my time. I've developed some very bad habits that seem to multiply each day. I'm really hoping that this time away will let me start some changes.

I've been very neglectful of my poor blog this year. It seems like there is always something that is more important to do. It doesn't help that my job has gotten more stressful so when I get home I just want to do something totally mindless. A new baby is on the way. My granddaughter Tara is expecting her first and she should deliver today or tomorrow. She is already 6 days overdue so the doctor decided to induce. I really wish that wasn't the case but it isn't my decision.
