I vow to blog all through the damn holiday season!!!!

Okay, I might be useless at keeping up blogging through midsummer, when the garden needs to be weeded and there's sun that must be basked in. However, I vow to keep any remaining readers in blog entries throughout these next dark, dark days of blog blackouts. It's bad enough that the outer world will be so creepy and dead tomorrow -- and then, to sit down at the computer in the hopes of at least reading some blog posts, and find nothing bolded on the newsreader... I cannot stand the media silence!

I have nothing else to say. Max took the kid to his grandparents' house for the afternoon, so I've been loafing around the house eating stale gingerbread cookies and watching old Buffy episodes while arguing with my brother -- "Is this the one where they..?" "Shut UP!" "Dude, this episode sucks!" "Shut UP!" and so on -- as if we were still twelve and fourteen. It's kinda sweet, really. Now I am morose and lonely and miss my husband and child. Also, I seem to remember that there was something I was going to blog about, but I can't think what. Blah blah blah. At least I distracted you for a minute, right? Now I shall crack the whip. Back, back to your holiday cheer, slaves!
