I've missed all y'all, and am back blogging here and there, with no consistent regularity, save for my GladiTuesdays. I've really wanted to catch up with you and read every one of your last several posts. Except.
A funny thing happened on the way to upgrading our computer system and memory. My google reader subscriptions have been erased. Gone. I suppose the silver lining of the situation is that I have a blank slate. However, I'm sad to not know what I've missed. I hope you "didn't have any fun without me". (That was for you, LVCG.) Know that whether I comment on every post or not, I'm catching up. But I'll try to comment. Because who doesn't like comments? The other silver lining is that our computer has stopped gasping and grinding. So the Windows 7 and new memory must be agreeing with its system.
And so what have I been doing? Nothing earth-shattering. Just mostly rehearsing for my play, doing a teacher appreciation luncheon for my dtr's school & attending her conference, doing Thanksgiving, grieving with/for a friend, and getting ready for Christmas. Leaving the bloggy--as hard as it was initially--was very nice. I remembered that it IS a hobby, not a job. I'm not Dooce, making beau coup bucks on my little tales of woe and wonder. Though THAT'S not a bad job--certainly wish I had thought of it first. Kinda like the post-it note. Where was I in the creativity department? Anyway, where was I? Oh, a hobby. Yes. And absence did make my heart grow fonder.
Wishing you all a blessed Advent season. And pinching myself. I didn't really know what Advent was until about 3 years ago. And now I'm celebrating it. And really enjoying this, too. :)
