My niece and avid (perhaps only) fan of my blog sent this email message to me this week:
I can't take one more day of disappointment!!! If you've turned your back on the blog world...just announce it already!!!
I love you, even if you don't update your blog.
So I'm taking this opportunity to save at least one person from disappointment (a truly noble endeavor, I think. After all, life is full of disappointments).
I was at a technological disadvantage for awhile in that my laptop only worked at 15 minute intervals before it would die and have to cool off before it could be used for another 15 minute span. I used all my limited computer time to work for the last few weeks. But as fate would have it, I received Allie's plea the SAME day that I got my new laptop.
I have not turned my back on the blog world, in fact I've wondered about all my blog friends:
I've hoped Pseudo is planning to have a relaxing summer working on her memoir/novel. I've worried about her migraines and the stress of the end of the year.
Ditto on the-end-of-year stress for Movie. I've hoped the drama has been a minimum for her lately.
I've wondered if Hollywood has come knocking at Vodka Mom's door offering to turn her hilarious blog into a blockbuster movie (staring Angelina as VM).
I've wondered about my principal friend, Beth, and what is happening in the publishing world with Kerfluffle. I've missed the humorous Austin observations over at The Bean. And I'm sure RockZee is far too busy starting her own advertising co to update her blog. I've wondered what the Idiot has stirred up as late and have missed the poignant observations of Slouching. (notice I'm too lame and lazy to link all these wonderings). There are many others that I have missed, too. I look forward to catching up with everyone this summer.
As for me, I'm a bit stuck at Mile 17. We still haven't found a house...long story. I guess I know what I'll be writing about in my next post!
It's good to be back. (though I hesitate to use the word "back" lest I disappoint certain people, again)

Hey there!!! So good to see you!! I am still knee deep in drama.
Hope to see you again soon, and looking forward to reading about the house hunt.
yeah for your niece cajoling you back to blogging : ) the publishing world has turned into unemployed world, but i'm rolling w/ the punches, for now. so glad you're back!
Hey You! We've been missing you! I was worried that life had just gotten to chaotic to blog about so I'm relieved to know it was a laptop issue.
Looking forward to hearing about what all has been going on! Welcome home!
Hey you! Hope you see this. I missed this post. Since June 9th was my last day teaching, I will guess I was running in circles.
Hope your summer is going well. Miss you on the Internet.
Send me an email and I'll tell you more about my summer.
