Where did April go?

I lost April. I blinked and it whizzed by. How is it that life, which seems so plain and every day can whiz by? Was I busy? Too busy? *sigh* I feel like there is never enough time in the day-especially those days I get lost on the computer. What did I do before I had a computer? Ahh I read. A lot. But wait..I STILL read a lot. Oh. Clean house? I'm supposed to cook supper? Those things can wait because I have to decide what I want to plant out front. How is it that I've been looking at flowers for five hours?? And did you know that just reading updates on facebook can take an hour? I don't even want to talk about email...and then there are the blogs, I must check those and see who has written something new...
But back to April. Maybe I just blocked it out because I had to pay taxes. I know I took a lot of pictures, because I've spent a lot of time editing them. (I obsess a little over the pictures. Should I go with the auto white balance? Should I tweak this juuuuuuust a little more? Is this how I saw it, or was it different? Do I want it to look realistic or...? When will I remember to put the wrist strap on when I use the point and shoot so I don't have to clone it out?)
And now it is May. May, the month of birthdays. Daughter, sister, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, multiple friends. They remind me to spend time thinking of someone other than myself, and be part of the world once again. Maybe May will be the month that lazily drifts by, with plenty of time to do all I want to do. A girl can dream.
