My Apologies for My Infrequent Posting!

Let me apologize for my infrequent posting for the last few weeks. I am having trouble fitting everything I want to do into my day!

So you will understand, I thought I would give you a recap of what I have been doing. This picture sums up part of it.


I went to the range with some of my friends from church and one of them snapped this picture. I didn't know she did it until I heard her laughing behind me! Both she and I want to start competition shooting this year. Well, that won't happen without practice! Starting competitive shooting is one of my personal goals this year, I have really improved my one handed shooting in just a few short months. (The picture above is of me shooting with my weak hand/non dominant eye.)  I believe I will be ready to start by summer!

I also have been taking classes 7 times a week. (Not seven days a week, seven times a week, I don't go on Sunday or Friday. To make up the difference, I go for 2 hours on Wednesday and Saturday.) What am I taking? Fun stuff! Tap dancing, hula dancing and zumba! I really like them all. However, I am finding that it doesn't leave a lot of time for other things, like blogging.

Normally, this time of year is when I get lots of projects to work on. (Many of our clients start new initiatives in January.) This year, I decided not to work for a few months. Instead I wanted to do things for me. (This was another personal goal I had this year.) 

I don't expect to keep my heavy schedule up for very long. When summer weather comes in April, it will be time to turn a lot of my attention to the garden, so something will have to go! I am not sure yet what it will be, but I have plenty of time to decide.

Other than that, the rest of my time is taken up with normal homesteading chores: making yogurt, cheese, sour cream and other dairy products on a weekly basis; the daily need to clean the floors; grinding my own flour; caring for all my plants twice a week; and of course, caring/cooking for the princess every day! (Just to mention a few!) These past few weeks I find myself wondering where the time goes!

Please indulge me for a few more weeks if I don't post on a regular basis!

  1. I just love Zumba, I do it on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I do water aerobics which I love also. It makes me feel so much more alive and I can do so much more. Years ago I use to be a clogger but I can't find any place around here that does that.

    1. I wasn't sure I was going to like zumba, but I do! Very much!

      A friend of mine does water aerobics and she loves it. I may have to try that sometime!

      Thanks for your comment!

  2. Good luck on your shooting endeavors. Many a pioneer women knew how to use guns and now it's a growing trend.

  3. No need to apologize, Kate. I would much rather someone hone their skills than worry about how often they update their blog. I consider target practice to be VERY important. I am amazed that you ever had time to blog, with all you do. I have learned so much from your site. Remember....it's quality, not quantity! Keep up the great work, and good luck in competitive shooting.

      I do anticipate getting back to a regular blogging schedule in a month or so. When I start competitive shooting, I will blog about that too!
