on the nature of the unintended hiatus
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 10:03 AM | Bitty You know how you get behind on something, and then you finally get a minute to do that thing, but you're so behind that you don't know where to start so you don't? And then you just get more behind and it seems like too much to even begin, and the whole thing just kind of snowballs into a big icy ball of Do Not Want?
Welcome to the last two months of website non-updateyness.
We have been busy, yes, but not significantly more than our usual Hamster Wheel O'Crazy, so it's not attributable to some new escalation. And some of those busy things have included many fun and exciting things. Things which include adventures and hilarity and sometimes even photographic evidence! Things that are, in short, terrific website fodder. The radio silence is therefore also not attributable to a lack of material about which to post.
So we will chalk it up to a case of needing to cut something out for awhile in order to maintain sanity. Also: laziness.
In any case...hello! I have many things to tell you about! I will probably tell you about most of them! If I feel like it! I will probably forget something I meant to tell you about! I will include pictures! If it's not too much work! It will probably be too much work! Because I am lazy, as previously established! Some of the topics I plan to tell you about if I'm not overcome by an overpowering desire to do something else:
- The Great Gallstone Adventure of 2012!
- Why family is totes the best!
- Sal's birthday!
- All of the many movies we have seen recently! See also: geeks are the greatest.
- That time I was 20 feet from Gary Lightbody and totally didn't lose my shit! Except for maybe a little bit!
- Girls' Road Trip!
- Girls' Art Weekend! Launched with an actual Mad Hatters' Party! Because I am the raddest.
So, you know. Those things might be stuff to look forward to hearing about. Although that really puts a lot of pressure on me to make them interesting, and I don't need the stress (see also: gallstones), so I make no promises. Also, vacation starts in two weeks so I am a kitten distracted by shiny objects right now.
Anyway.

WooHoo!! I thought perhaps you'd fallen into an abyss... Except I was there for a number of the awesome things you haven't posted about ;)
Also, I would argue you are the exact opposite of lazy.
wondered where you went. thas ok, this aint a paying gig. If it were, I would say something. Don't miss out on summer just to keep your blog current. As if.
Sister: I sure have you fooled. But thanks anyway. ;)
Joe: That's good advice. And thanks for continuing to visit. :)
You're back! Me, too. Poking my head out of my hole and happy to see others I know doing the same. Your list of stuff is wonderful! I really want to hear about the art weekend and Mad Hatters' Party! But if you're not up to it, I will make up my own bright, shiny version in my head. :)
I agree with Kim! I will make up my own bright, shiny version in my head of your most recent adventures! Although it won't be as interesting as reading your fantastic detailed and engaging words. Yes, I mean it!!!!!
Kim: Welcome back! So nice to see you poking your head out, as well. I'm glad to see updates on your site, looking forward to more.
I may have to at least post about the Mad Hatters' Party, since it turned out nicely and was lots of fun to do. And I do have pictures of that. They may not compete with the ones in your head, but still!
Tara: You are too sweet. Thanks for being such a great and loyal reader -- I'll try to be better about posting.:)
Glad to hear it's been fun stuff keeping you occupied (other than the gallstone adventure). Can't wait to hear more about it, you know, if/when planets align and both time and energy come at the same moment. I SO know how that goes!
Tammy: I know you, more than most, understand how much it depends on the proper alignment of things. This life thing, such a juggling act!
