April Fools! And you all thought I had signed off for good. Sorry, no such luck.
While it may not be a good one, I do have an excuse for my absence: foolishness. And yes, that would be my own foolishness. A little technological blunder forced me to choose between a $90 fee or 75 days in absencia from my blog, so I opted for the less expensive route. I’ve got 75 days to spend but as for that $90…
Actually, sometimes I wonder who, if anybody, reads my blog. Not that I have to have a following. In fact, I was initially resistant to the idea of having a blog. Frankly, I found many blogs to be rather self-centered, with an all-about-me mentality, and dull as they recounted the events of the day in “Dear Diary” fashion. I had my journal (which, to be honest, has suffered horribly since this blog business began), and that was enough for me.
For those of you who have blogs, please don’t be be offended by that. In spite of my critical comments, I do have a few favorite blogs that I visit regularly; and as you can see for yourself (or is it “read for yourself”?), I am a fellow blogger who someone could just as readily and easily criticize for my rambling, sporadic style. Actually, truth be told, some already have, but what’s a girl to do? Besides, I like rambling.
In spite of my shortcomings, it seems there are a faithful few out there who, believe it or not, like to keep up on my adventures (or is it mishaps?), and a blog is a great solution; so here I am. I intended to write more today, but now I’m afraid to lest I appear too self-focused after my soap-box speech…well, that and the fact that if I don’t publish this soon, it will no longer be April Fools Day. Hope it was a fun one!
