The year 2011 is gone. While I realize I’ve been a crappy blogger this year, there’s not a whole lot I can do now other than apologize and explain. For one, I am largely happy, which gives me fewer things to blog about. For two, some of the things that did cause me angst were caught up in a web of self-censorship because they involved a close friend and issues that needed to be hashed out between the two of us, and money, which just sucks to talk about because who wants to hear me whine about being poor? For three, I spend all day on a computer and when I get home I try to stay off the computer and read or do stuff or hang out with Matt.
So that’s why, for the three readers I have left, I have been gone.
With that, here we go…
January: I bought an effing house! Also, my niece was born.
February: Ummm… Nothing really happened.
March: I plead for less suckage from humanity. I do a 30-day photo challenge in an attempt to jump start my blogging. The attempt fails, as you know, because I continued to suck at blogging. Monster turns three.
April: I get to meet my dear niece and spend time with my awesome family. More strange conversations with friends. Matt turns 26. He is an old man…
May: Pretty much a whole lotta nothing keeps happening.
June: We break the cardinal rule of marriage. I do not claim responsibility for my sleep-talking actions. Zim turns three.
July: I wax thoughtful. Eve and I meet Ira Glass and take ridiculous photos. I turn 25, which totally boggles me.
August: I start a new job! We continue to be poor, but at least I don’t loathe going to work. That is a step in the right direction.
September: We celebrate our first anniversary with Weird Al. We adopt a dog, originally named Rusty, now named Gizmo.
October: I write about adoption. We actually get trick-or-treaters since we are in a neighborhood. Unfortunately we underestimated how many we would get and had to do the whole pretend-not-to-be-home thing.
November: Thanksgiving with my family. My brother brought home a girl! She is cool.
December: I take insane photos of my animals. Christmas is good, family-filled and busy.
You’re quitting?! Why not just resolve to blog infrequently. That’s how I keep things going. Once or twice a month I put out a magazine length article and feel I’ve done my part for humanity.
No! Not quitting. The adios was for the year being gone. The explanation just gave background on why I am not the blogger I once was.
