You just HAVE TO forgive me. For the past month &#8211; in fact, since the New Year started, I have not been here totally. I have been playing catch up. My schedule (and entire life even) has recently changed. Why do I feel like I have told you this before? It started in December &#8211; to God be the glory, but since then, I have been so involved. By the way, this post might be all over the place. Just a warning.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8639\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Im-Sorry.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8639\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8639\" alt=\"I.

Am. Sorry<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sometimes I&#8217;m typing a post and literally banging my head because I am so sleepy. There are write-ups\/articles that have been floating around in my head, but I just haven&#8217;t had the chance to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and I am not the girl who types entire articles or blog posts on her phone. \u00a0Nah uh. And there is so much to write. Plus, my schedule for paid campaigns is looking busy, but this is good. I prayed for this.<\/p>\n<p>This past weekend, I went bowling with some of my coworkers, and I intend to share pictures. They have all been warned that they will be appearing on a certain Verastic blog. Oh, the first Verastic giveaway of the year is over now. It was over yesterday with 541 entries. Not too shabby, huh? So, did you win? Find out <a href=\"http:\/\/verastic.com\/social\/giveaway-entire-coconut-shea-line-eden-bodyworks.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. Meanwhile, a new giveaway will also commence this week. How many days in the week do I have left? <strong>*counts on fingers*<\/strong> Four days. 3 week days and one err non-week day. I can do it. I shall do it! The Lord will be my strength.<\/p>\n<p>How about the Superbowl? Oh, my God! So, my team, Baltimore Ravens didn&#8217;t make it to the Playoffs this year (but I&#8217;m not totally mad because we won the Superbowl last year. However, Ravens, you can&#8217;t miss the Playoffs next\/this year!). I was rooting for Peyton Manning because I believed that he had something to prove. I had nothing against the Seahawks, especially cause my baby daddy, Richard Sherman is in there, but I was rooting for Peyton. Unfortunately, the Broncos took a beating that even the Seahawks don&#8217;t yet understand. Sports is so emotional. I downed all the Fanta and Sprite I could lay my hands on, but it didn&#8217;t make me feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Again, forgive me for posts not put up yet, for comments not responded to, for e-mails not replied, and just for everything. And welcome to all the new Verastic readers and followers. Hope you stay!<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S.<\/strong> What I took away from the Superbowl? It was when Russell Wilson, Seahawks QB said, <em>&#8220;Why not me?&#8221;<\/em> and he said it was something his father asked him. So I could not help but ask myself too, <em>why not me???<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mean, you have no choice. You just HAVE TO forgive me.
