Due to a snafu, my site went missing for a few days. After much gnashing of teeth, and forwarding of emails stating that I had in fact paid for my domain to be renewed, we’re back.

Of course, I make no promises of posting anything actually interesting to read… I really should though. I do miss my blog. It’s just that…

Well, here’s a taste of what I do lately:

• Work hard
• Read a lot
• Play a ton of rhythm games
• Watch entirely too many episodes of the BBC’s Top Gear
• Spend time with my husband

Because, yes, in case you didn’t already know, Mike and I got married in July.

So hopefully, once we figure out how to make it work, I’ll at least be able to share some pictures from the wedding and honeymoon. And if you’re lucky, maybe I’ll actually write a narrative of the trip. Including fun things like sleeping in the Toronto airport baggage claim, crossing a ridiculously scary suspension bridge, experiencing what a temperate rain forest really is, playing with Iditarod puppies, seeing glacier calving, watching the high seas cause a cruise ship pool to empty itself (while trying desperately not to empty myself), finding that Canadians assume Mike speaks French, and other tidbits. I do want to write. So I’ll just have to find time, amongst my other tasks.

I have no answers for the questions you’re probably thinking of asking. “Where the hell were you?” “What have you been doing?” “Why did you leave us?”

I also make no promises that I will continue posting.

Though I do kind of miss the internets sometimes…

So now I can sense you asking, “If she’s not really coming back, why the hell is she taunting us with this post?”

Well, I might come back!

… I’m sure you’ve heard that before…

Ultimately, I am here because Tara made me. She’s a good mommy and encouraged… ordered… (whatever) me to post a particularly interesting tidbit of information on the internet before she went ahead and exploded. Since I like Tara, and would prefer that she not explode, I suppose I can make this particular post.

Let me preface this with a tremendous “I’m Sorry!” to people who probably should have heard this directly from my mouth but are instead reading it on the intertubes. I hope you can forgive me. I’m just really terrible at communication skills (as noted by the complete lack of attention put into my keeping up this spectacular… craptacular… (whatever) website).

And that preface leads to this preface. You might just not care. Especially if you don’t know me personally. But you might care, and for that I’m greatful.

Actually… you just may have removed me from your blogroll anyway, so what the hell do I care?

Am I done prefacing now?

Me thinks… yes.

So here it is.

Mike and I are engaged!

You may have noticed that I have continued the “blogables” today. That’s because I wrote some more of them! Lucky you!

I kind of like this. I might do it more often. I think I give myself writer’s block by trying to come up with a “full” story at two pages.

Today, my intent is to post a bunch of entries I will call “Blogables.” Similar to the popular children’s lunch box, they will contain a smaller than normal facsimile of a blog post. We’ll see how this goes, but I know I have at least three up there in my head.

Hey guys. I wanted to appologize for my radio silence last week. It was a horendously busy week at work. I didn’t work less than 10 hours any of the days. But that’s more or less over, so I think I’ll be back to normal now. Just wanted to be, you know, updating or something.

Expect more later.

Due to a small problem with billing for my web host, we were down for a little while. We’re now back up. That’s awesome, huh?

That’ll teach me for going on vacation the week my site gets billed the month after my card expires…

More later!

My site clock was off again, due to the “Spring Ahead” of daylight saving time. I fixed it, between posting a comment on yesterday’s entry and posting the previous entry. This is a pain in the ass.

I wonder if new-WordPress deals with this…

The real question is, would I even bother upgrading if it did?

I was thinking that I might live-blog my last day at work. I don’t know if that would be interesting or not. My instinct is not, but it might be a fun thing for me to do.

I guess what I’m saying is, do you think it would be a good idea? Would you read it?
