You may have noticed that I have pretty much sucked (yeah, I hate that word, sucked, gross, but necessary in this case) at posting lately.
I've done this by pretty much ignoring the internet as a whole for a couple of days.
This is quite a feat in our busy and connected word, however it was needed.
I relaxed, slept, cooked, shopped, read, drank, kissed, drove, planted, and ran after children.
Here's the details...
Slept, with the boy! Hooray! Falling asleep next to him doesn't happen as much as I would like and I've been so busy around my hometown, but curling up next to him in comfortable, fresh sheets is a pleasure difficult to be without.
Cooked, a number of things, but most importantly a potatoes salad from Gourmet magazine (yeah, that's right, GOURMET) with mint and peas, without all the gunky mayonnaise too.
Shopped, for random household items (salad tongs, place mats, citronella candles) and groceries.
Read, the new GQ and Vogue and back issues of Cooks Illustrated that where thoughtfully given to me.
Drank, gin and tonics, Red Stripe, margaritas, white wine and cheap beers (I am in college, give me a break).
Kissed, the boy duh.
Drove, pretty much everywhere. From the house (my parents) to my home (at school) to Massachusetts (to hug a heartbroken friend) to work (all the various children's homes).
Planted, more basil, transplanted flowers, lamented the death of other plants at the hands of deer.
Ran after children...to the aquarium, the park, play dates and the beach. All the while demanding good behavior and not losing a one of them. Holla.
So, that's the deal.
Oh and the longer I don't post the more nervous I get about actually writing... like do I need to be especially witty and amusing as I haven't produced anything in days? Are my readers still checking? Do they still care? Ugh, maybe this is an example of my need for anxiety medicine.
Okay, I'll try and be more regular (sound like someone's period?!? or even poop issues?) and promise to post my tagged 8 things meme from bb tomorrow...

You know, Alice, I have a blogger on my RSS feed who I continually check to see if she's posted --- and her last post was in April, and before that, in January! Some people are worth checking on, hoping they'll post again:-)
That said, no excuses, so get back to blogging, stat!

Wow, that's quite a week. I'm tired from just reading. Glad you got some resting/reading/fun time.
All well and good...get to it.
Alice, I had just posted the comment above and thought --- oh, I should go visit syllabub, and sure enough, there was a new post, the first since April! See, people do stick around for long enough:-)

too funny, as long as you keep on checking, have faith in me!
Alice, I found your blog because Blackbird said you were worth reading, and have had you bookmarked since. Sometimes I wish you'd write more, but I'd rather quality than quantity:-) Just don't wait 2 months between blogging without warning!
