Love.
You know it.
I’ve just had my longest blog hiatus ever. I am still alive…just very busy and my laptop is out of commision too. I just made this post via blogger (not live writer)…and I am stressed from it. How do you people use blogger and not go insane?
I declared on Saturday that I was going to quit blogging.
Today is Monday. Oy.
I am now the mother of a high school graduate. 
And I never got an official photo of her in her cap and gown. Long story. And yes, I am completely irritated over that.
BUT, all you need is LOVE. Not perfect photos. Right?
Love you,
Busy Bee Suz 
Welcome back! Congratulations to your beautiful graduate!(I love composing on Livewriter, but it won't post to my blog anymore, so I can't use it! AAargh!)

HEY, I tried to comment this morning and blogger was having some kind of drama…again. But I'm here now. And what do I find? First a cutie patootie picture of L.O.V.E.then you saying something about being a quitter..huh? Nope, not you. Just be a slacker like me, people will still love ya:) Lots of good ideas about the grad picture, or lack of. Maybe someone else got one? Important thing is that she did it:) Woot Woot!! Ok, take some time to regroup and I'll see ya here again. Oh BTW, when she leaves for college, and you have an empty spot in your life, I'm adoptable :):)
