The Explanation

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This past week I went on an unplanned and unintended hiatus.  I had no intention of leaving you all high and dry for a week, had no intention of taking a week off work, and no intention in general of being out of contact.  I made no preparations, lined up no guest bloggers, left no goodbye post.

If you follow me on Twitter, you know a bit about why I went MIA and what’s been going on.  Tomorrow I will be home, late, but home.  The rogue internet that I lassoed to get this post up is so slow that I can’t upload anything, so this week’s Favorite Tweets post will be up later in the week.  It’s a good one, so I hope you’ll come back and check it out.

The hardest part of being gone is not only that I haven’t been posting, but it’s that I haven’t been writing.  Writing is like breathing to me, and I feel like I’m suffocating.

We’ve gone through so much this past week, it’s horrifying and also solidifying.  It’s taught us much, opened our eyes even more, and brought my husband and my kids and I closer than ever.  For that, we are grateful.

See ya real soon…

    I feel like you are POWs coming home from war. There just might be a yellow ribbon tied around your tree when you get home.

    Oh boy.

    I just caught up on your recent Twitterings and I can’t believe that after a week of *that* you did not make the headlines for the Guiness Book of World Records for bitch-slapping.

    Next visit to the in-laws in scheduled in the 22nd century, right?

    sounds like an awfully heavy week. Hope as is well on the home front now that you are back, safe and sound.

    Sorry to hear about your hellacious week. I had one myself due to a family emergency. It included spending a ton of time with my in-laws, but thankfully they aren’t so awful. I’m just getting back into the groove of blogging and thought I’d stop by your blog since we met briefly at the Kirtsy/Alltop party at Guy Kawasaki’s house. Here’s to better weeks ahead, eh?

Got something to say?
