Q is for Quinoa

Quitters never win...

So it has been a while since I blogged, so long that you may have even forgotten about me.
Hey!
I still exist.
I wish that I had a Quick Quotes Quill to dictate to fill you in on everything that has happened since my last post. I don't so here goes: Halloween, Thanksgiving, a tree fell on our house and we moved in with the in-laws, went on a cruise, the bosses opened another cupcakery, Christmas, and New Years.

With all of that there was a part of me that thought that I should quit the blog and just leave it where it was. I questioned if I could even get through the ALPHAbite. With the letters that are on the horizon it is even more daunting than when I started. But it is a new year, a new day, and my first day off since...I have no idea, I really haven't been keeping track, so who cares. I'm back to tackle the ALPHAbite one letter at a time.

Enjoy.

Again.

Hopefully.
