Absense

I am so sorry for the absence! I didn't even notify y'all! I'm really really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY sorry, everybody! I'll make sure that nothing like that ever happens again! Does everyone accept my apology? Good. Now, the explanation:

So, Dad all of a sudden out of nowhere randomly asks the family and I if we would like to take a trip out of state with him. He made it sound so glorious and kind of like a vacation, so, of course, everyone instantly agreed. We all got packed and hopped into the van the next day. During the ride, he explains to us what's actually happening. Let me tell y'all, nobody was happy about this next part.

It turns out that Dad's boss had to move out of state for a while for some sort of conference, and he chose my dad and a few other employees to come with him. Dad wanted to bring us along. We stayed at Holiday Inn. No computers. And the place where Daddy was working had no computers that were on limits to Fred (little bro), Mommie, and I --- strictly employees only. Torture, pure torture. Anywho, I don't remember how long we were gone, but it feels like long months since I've been away. I got some writing done though, and am now at 18,842 words instead of 12,002, so I guess not having a computer somehow is a good thing. But I'm back now, so no worries. :)
