Hey there strangers! It’s OK, you can all breathe a sigh of relief: yes, this blog will continue. Your fears that my extended absence meant I wasn’t going to write anymore, while understandably terrifying, are for naught. Here I am!

I hope everyone has been having a lovely summer; things are going along here quite swimmingly. I’ve been thinking of a lot of things to write about, but am having a hard time finishing anything. You see, I have a lot to say about the current state of politics and the continued crap that is being thrown at women in particular, but I don’t want to be “Super Angry Liberal Blog Lady”, and SALBL doesn’t sound cool, so I tabled those drafts until I can write about it more reasonably.

I’d like to write about some funny stuff, but most of the ‘funny’ things I hear these days are about poop and toots, and I’m sure you get enough of those hilarious jokes at home.

I’ve started to write a few things about day-to-day stuff, but then I get a blog post from another brilliantly talented person (ahem) about a similar thing, and I don’t want to be a bore.

And, well, honestly, I’ve been having a great time just hanging out with friends, my family, and my box of wine. I’ve switched to Sauvignon Blanc, just to be crazy!

So that’s it….and now I’ll pretend that you are all super interested in what’s coming up and leave you with a teaser:

EXCITING THINGS TO COME!!! RUNNING, BAKING, DAVID HASSELHOFF!!

(Gotcha with the Hoff, didn’t I? See you soon!)

(Oh, and that whole ‘Summer Schedule’ thing? HAHAHA!!! Nope!! We’ve had a great time without any schedule at all…not only have we had a lot of fun, but our son is reading more and at a higher level, our older daughter is trying out this whole reading thing, and the baby is counting to 11 semi-consistently. Yup, like Spinal Tap, she goes all the way to 11.)
