Apparently some goofballs check in here even if I have nothing to say.
Some of you might have missed me, while others are probably like "Fee who?" I can't blame you since I've been incommunicado so long it's a wonder I remembered how to gain access to my own blog. I promise I'll have something of substance to contribute to the information overload very soon; for now I'll just burden you with my list of excuses for not writing.
- I thought my kids would NEVER go back to school, what with a snow day two days after winter break ended, and Robey's school's incomprehensible compulsion to give students EVERY. MONDAY. IN. JANUARY. OFF. It's hard to write or concentrate with kids at home; if you don't believe me, you try it. I'll send you some.
- I've been having some work done on our house since mid-December, which has kept me busy inventing games like Endust-and-Pledge Skating to try to stay ahead of the dust.
- Robey's Bar Mitzvah is less than six months away so my feet are getting closer to the fire.
- I always start a new year by selling old stuff on eBay, starting this year with a vintage, mint condition Hermes silk scarf my mother gave me years ago (shhh -- don't tell her I'm selling it).
- I've been helping Cupcake prepare for the spelling bee, studying something like 1800 words from 14 language sources (lederhosen?* gnathonic?* perestroika?)
*Spellcheck wanted leaseholder, spinsterhood, prognathous or pathogenic. Funny -- these are (supposedly) actual dictionary words.
I'm back. I think.
Are you back? Are you sure? How do you know?
