Nearly a year since my last post. I know, I know. Despicable and deplorable in the blogging world. I’ve lost all my faithful readers, let everyone down. The irony is that I tried to read one of my friend’s blogs the other day that I hadn’t visited in months and discovered it was gone. I was so disappointed, yet here I am doing the same thing.

There are lots of reasons for my absence. Some good, some bad, and mostly just because I never got around to it. It’s a snow ball effect. First I wanted to change the layout of the blog and switch to wordpress, so that delayed my posting. Then I became really busy with life and suddenly I had no time, then some bad stuff happened, then the good stuff (I bought a house:)) and then working all the time. I have lots of excuses for it;)

I’ve had a lot of excuses in my life lately and it’s time to find some balance. I stopped playing basketball last August because of the whole shoulder problem. I followed the Doctor’s advice and took the 6+ months to heal, but then after the time was up, I didn’t find my way back to the court. Too busy, no time I said. I stopped going to the gym, too busy, no time. Suddenly I discovered I’d become a bit of a workaholic. Definitely not a healthy place to be. I started playing basketball again a couple of weeks ago. I like to think I’m at least semi self-aware, so as part of my quest for renewing balance in my life, I’m going to start blogging again. Maybe some of my old readers will have pity on me and come back and visit again some time:) Jo, I wish I knew where you were and Andrea, you know I’ve always popped in to visit with you. I’m going to try and get the rounds to visit everyone.

I’ve got some new local friends that are blogging that I need to link up to and I’ve got loads more stuff about my work (I quit my job and I’m on to a new project). But that will have to wait for another post.

And I REALLY REALLY need to get this switched over to word press. I’m working on a design template for one and as soon as it’s done, I’ll attempt the switch over. I just need to find the time, oh wait, no more excuses. I look back at my posts from last summer and the last 2 months were mostly “I’m really busy right now” or “I’m still around, but busy” posts, sigh, the warning signs were all there;)

A bientot!
