While you were doing that, I was doing this.
July 8, 2008
See! I still exist. After nearly 3 weeks (or has it been 3 weeks?) off the grid, I am finally trying to jump back into the world that exists in this computer. In fact, I am guessing that I will finally get in the groove just in time to head off to BlogHer in San Francisco next week.  So what kept me offline for so long? Well, I was chillin at the beach. Thinking I would have no trouble getting hooked up and online, I never mentioned that I would be leaving. Turns out, getting on and being able to work and chat and check email and such was not the easy time I thought it would be. Yet being offline for so long was just what I needed. I know I owe way too many people way too many responses, email, posts etc. Now that I am home, hooked up and able to connect with the outside world, I will do my best to catch up. Really. (Did you notice the “do my best” part? Yeah, still out of my groove.)
But I am sure you understand can I understand why.
While you were getting ready for work, I was doing this:
And for most of the day when I would normally be home doing chores or trying to keep the kids busy, I was hanging out here:
And then as the late afternoon hit, I did a little bit of this:
And as the day drew to a close, I sat in amazement watching this:
Is it any wonder why it is tough to get back into the groove?
Next up: Taking on the jellies, BlogHer stuff and a way too late post about a book I was totally supposed to post about ages ago. For now, a nap. This blogging stuff is tough to get back into. I need my beach back.
