...And one complaint.
First, the complaint. One of you, a diligent, loyal and faithful reader - sent me a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g email arguing the pros and cons of my blogging style. On the pro side, you said I usually post more than several paragraphs and fill you in on the highlights of living with a giant squid that has a tendency to swat. On the con side, it is "ages" between posts. You cited several bloggers - not all into TTWD - that post daily and/or 2-3 times a week. You said they have children, spouses, jobs, hobbies and even friends! And... they still have time to update their blogs with unfailing regularity.
Mea Culpa! (I hope that means I'm blameless even if I'm not Catholic.)
It's true. I'm only an "occasional" blogger. No excuses. That's me. Take it or leave it and if you're leaving, MORE chocolate for me! Between this and that and a few other things, life comes first.
Had a birthday recently and received momentous amounts of chocolate. This made me very happy. Happier was waking up to a loving cuddle etc from the giant squid. I had no idea the band played so well and so long at that hour of the morning but I asked for an immediate return engagement. Lots of presents and goodies to eat but BEST of all... drum roll here...
David and Bull are home from Afghanistan, a little worse for wear but home. They're both on the thin side and still tired but a little rest and plenty to eat and they'll be A-1 rated in no time. David gave me a list of foods he wants - I anticipated a lot of it and it was already waiting and in the freezer. Bull just said FOOD! It's no surprise the big fella didn't waste any time consuming most of what was in the refrigerator and freezer. This man is a non-stop eater. I mentioned that if he kept up that pace a bunch of sweet cows were going to die before their time. He didn't reply because his mouth was full. However, the squid replied in his fashion...
SWAT!

Saw the heart doctor and he said all was well. I don't have to see him again for 6 months. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief with that news. Even the office vampires seemed happy about that. Of course that might have been because I figured out how to hook a leg around a knee and apply pressure if they take too much blood. Those kick boxing lessons really come in handy.
SWAT! "Don't hurt the techs, Sar. They're only doing their job."
Yeah, yeah, me too. Tsk. They've collected enough blood from me to start their own blood bank. Double tsk.
I've posted a BUNCH of new recipes in various categories. I try to add a few every day but frankly, cooking and baking nonstop for David and Bull and of course, all the other critters - FYI: a squid is a critter - I'm a little frazzled at the end of the day. Then, there's other matters that need my attention... like Mr. Superior Mortal's ego...
SWAT!
Laughing, but not too loudly.

Come on Sar! Isn't your number one priority in life to keep us entertained? Now I can't fault the person that emailed you because I love it every time you post but I like more that you are living your life rather than telling us about it - but feel free to do both when you have time!
Please thank David and Bull and your own Cowboy for everything they do for us! Is there anywhere we can donate money to help you with the grocery bill?
Glad you had a great birthday and glad you got a good report. You just keep enjoying yourself and we'll come by and check to see if you have posted.
Hugs,
PK
I'm delighted that all your men are back and that you're patching them up with lots of food. Strong men need a woman to take care of them and don't they know it. Happy belated birthday and thanks for sharing your life with a giant squid...when you can. Love it!

Sar it's great to hear from you whenever you post.
It's good to hear that David and Bull are back, I know how happy that makes you.
It's good that you enjoyed your birthday, may the coming year be better that the last.
The news from the doctors is good.
May you continue to enjoy life with your loving swatting Cowboy.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Sar,
Wonderful news that Bull and David are home relatively safe and sound! If you don't post for YEAR because you are busy tending to the fellas,then so be it. They deserve it all.
Continued happiness and peace.
I rarely post comments, but I do read your blog--and website. They are something I always find time for.
That said, Real Life comes first. If you were unable to post for whatever reason, that's the way it is. This is YOUR blog, not ours. ~grins~ Seems some would do better to realize that. You just graciously share it with us, the scattered throng.
I hope your birthday was all you could have possibly wished for and then some and I am beyond happy to hear that David and Bull are home again! Safe, even if not so sound. Your love and feeding will do wonders in that arena, I've no doubt.
Please extend my thanks, welcome home and a hearty OOOH RAH to them from a former Marine, herself. ~impgrin~

Happy Birthday! I would never begin to complain about how infrequent you post. I would only complain when you get behind with posting the recipes!
When my son came home from school, I asked if their was anything special he wanted me cook. He simply stated "Dinner."
Now let me get to those recipes!
Huggs!
