The Beginning – In Which I Apologize Profusely
I know, I know, I’ve been gone a very long time. I decided
completely without warning to take the month of April off from blogging in
order to catch up on projects and work at home and that was not very nice of
me. What makes it worse is that during that time off I managed to not catch up
on projects so much as I did on Martin’s A
Song of Ice and Fire series. Color me obsessed, I admit it freely. I’m a
terrible, horrible, no good, very bad person.
The Climax – In Which You Avoid The Temptation To Make an
Inappropriate Joke About This Quick Climax
I can at the very least say that, while my to-do list barely
suffered a dent, I learned many small lessons during my blogging hiatus; some
consequential to others. There are so many things I’d love to share with
you, but I’ll kindly reduce it to a Top Ten list and spare you the juiceless
details:
- Groupon in my area seems to be obsessed with Hair Removal and Belly Dancing lessons.
- If I keep making pots of tea I’m less likely to snack at work.
- My bladder holds nowhere near 3 pots of tea.
- Barn swallows would make excellent guided missiles during mating season.
- My cat, who is afraid of EVERYTHING (including barn swallows), will go exploring and lead me on a miserable week-long search when he escapes the fence.
- I can’t trust the estimated fuel range on my car.
- When I trust the estimated fuel range on my car and consequently run out of gas, Mary Kay ladies are nice enough to stop and help out.
- I now have a full new complement of much-needed Mary Kay products.
- Installing tongue and groove pine on a ceiling is slow and painful work.
- Tongue and groove ceilings – once the aches and pains of installation have passed – are freaking gorgeous.
The Dénouement – In Which A Promise Is Made
I wish I could promise that I would be a faithful blogger
from now on, but as of right now the best I can promise (and deliver, anyway)
is that I will do my very best to stick with my Thursday blogs. I entered the
blogging world with high hopes and good intentions, but the reality of
real-life juggling set in and I discovered that though the road to Hell is
paved with those Good Intentions, the sign posts are all High Hopes.
However, I can
leave you with the promise of a blog update tomorrow as well as an
announcement. And no, begging me to tell will not work. You’ll just have to
wait to see until tomorrow, and that’s when I’ll find out if you have forgiven
me for my breach and come back to see what news I have to share.
Until then, friends, I will (hopefully) see you tomorrow!
