I’m sorry I’ve been so absent lately. Blogging and I are not getting along these days. I get through half a post, then delete it realizing it’s all crap and I’m a horrible writer with nothing interesting to say. There are so many stories I’d like to write for you, like how Babs asked me the other day how babies are made and I almost crashed the car because I thought I had at least another couple of years to prepare for that question. Or how I love to go to lectures, but I swear that doesn’t make me a boring person. I’d love to write about the sunless tan I tried to apply, and how I ended up looking like I had a contagious skin disease instead of the bronzed beach beauty I was hoping for. I want to write about these things, but I just can’t find the words. The words are not there. I’m waiting patiently for the words to come back, and hopefully they’ll be here soon. Or at least maybe they can send me a postcard from wherever it is they’ve gone off to, so at least I know they’re doing alright.
