Hello.  My name is Brandy, and I have been a very bad blogger! 

There. I’ve admitted it. They say that’s the first step to recovery. So let’s hope I am now on my way to becoming a better blogger.

Now for my list of excuses...

I am sorry for being away from my blog for so long. But, for over a month from my last posting I was quite sick and ended up with cruddy bronchitis. So, there was literally nothing going on with me for all that time. If I had blogged during that time, my posts would have said things like this:

“Last night I didn’t sleep at all. I coughed and hacked so much it felt like I did 471 stomach crunches. My abs hurt!”

“Today I coughed and finally had some phlegm come up. Good day!”

“I scared the crap out of Cicely with my violent, projectile coughing. Poor dog couldn’t do anything to escape the fear since she was locked in her kennel.”

“I went to the doctor today. He said I had bronchitis and gave me a ton of drugs. Nose spray, cough meds, inhaler, antibiotics. Leaving the doctor’s office, I felt like a junkie!”

“You know what is awesome when you are so sick like this with all the coughing and fever?? Starting your period and having diarrhea and cramps. Now, if I can only start throwing up, I will have reached the sickness trifecta that you only hear about in horror stories.”  (TMI??)

“Cicely being locked up in her kennel is making me crazy. I feel bad for the girl, but seriously, I don’t think I can stand another minute of the whining. I bet they could use Cicely whining in her kennel to interrogate terrorists. Those terrorists would crack and give up all their secrets just to get her to shut up!”

So there, now aren’t you glad I just refrained from posting during the last month? I hope to do better. I have so much to write about like my Disney World trip that I never got around to writing about, going to the Oprah show in LA, meeting/seeing a ton of celebrities while I was down there, Cicely’s progress, etc. I will try to do better and get back on track with my blogging.

For now I leave you with this. You know what this picture is?? A blissfully happy Basset Hound, sleeping soundly and enjoying her freedom from her kennel prison! That’s right. Cicely is out of the kennel! Life is good again!!
