    My Life Lately...

    Oct 21, 2010 · Modified: Jul 15, 2021 by Erica Dinho · 37 Comments

    I want to apologize to all of my readers for not posting as often these past couple of months and to my blogging friends for not visiting your blogs as often. I do have a couple of pretty good excuses though...

    I have some news that I've been meaning to share with you for a while now, but I just haven't had the time to write even a short post such as this.

    Okay guys, here it is... I am expecting my second baby and I had a difficult first trimester. It was really hard to cook, go to the market and even talk too about food.

    The second excuse is that I started I new job at the same time! But I am feeling a lot better lately and am cooking again and I promise that I will be posting more often. I'm deeply grateful to you all for reading my blog day after day.

    Sincerely,
    Erica

      Yes, Chris is right we have the RSS feed, and I am sooo slow about coming over, but it sits there staring at me each day, lol, and hey I am about to give birth to my first short story and poetry book, so I can relate, the nausea is almost to much to bare!

      LOL, well seriously after two kids and twenty something years later, I feel sick, it reminds me of being pregnant but I have to cook, or hubby will starve!

      I wish you so much happiness and many days of feeling great!

      Well that is great news! And don't fret about not posting. My sister didn't cook, couldn't even be in the house while cooking was going on, while she was pregnant. Take your time and best of luck. We'll have you in our RSS feeds when you get back to posting.
