I'm baa-aaaack....

Isn't she lovely?  Would love to find the full size poster of this (I see wine bottles in the background!).

First off, please let me apologize for taking off so long from blogging.  I'm lazy, I'll admit it.  Yes, I've been working, but only 3 days/week (you know...the 12-hour shift thing).  We've been taking care of the cabin, but have plenty of down time.  I have no excuse other than...well, just haven't felt like it.  But all that is going to change.  Today.

Goal #1:  Blog at least once per week.
Goal #2:  Drop 40 pounds by my 40th birthday (that will be the subject of its own post.)
Goal #3:  Take more pics (and since I don't take hardly any, but always wish I had, some is more than none.)

Okay...Life Update:
Lon and our friend, Adam, have started brewing beer.  You know we tried the wine thing and enjoyed it (to the last drop).  We will be making some more wine soon, but Lon has wanted to try beer for quite some time.  Well...let me just tell you, they did AWESOME!!!  I got to help bottle and that was a lot of fun.  Capping bottles is way easier than corking wine!
This is our Nut Brown Ale that we bottled first.  Then we bottled the IPA.  Each batch made about 8 6-packs.  After about a week of sitting in bottles carbonating, they cracked one of each and let me try.  Delicious!!!
They just had another Brew Day and we currently have a Black IPA fermenting.  So much fun and it's ready way faster than wine!

Work is good.  Busy, hectic, some days are crazier than others, but they are always...always entertaining.  :)

That's good for now.  Still have another post to well...post.  :)
