Why I FAILED to post yesterday, and thus FAILED at the NaBloPoMo<\/a> contest for this year.<\/p>\n

1.) I was playing Glitch<\/a> quite a bit on Sunday.  I was trying to earn enough money for a super-big new house and that took about 3 hours of my day.<\/p>\n

2.) I was busy with Cub Scouts.  Timmy’s den took a hike at the Naval Live Oaks nature area<\/a> and then I spent some time catching up with planning afterwards.  Here’s a picture to enjoy!<\/p>\n

3.) Dave’s parents took us to a nice dinner at one of the family’s favorite restaurants, Mandarin Moon<\/a>, in Gulf Breeze.<\/p>\n

4.) I have a lot of TV to watch on Sunday nights!  Amazing Race, Dexter, and Boardwalk Empire are all on!  Typically I do my blogging during TV time in the evenings, but last night I think I was vegging more than usual.<\/p>\n

5.) I just plain forgot.  It had crossed my mind to write more about the Naval Live Oaks hiking, but simply didn’t get to it.  I might still later today, I have some nice pictures from other times we’d been there, yesterday I only got a couple pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
