In Which Excuses Are Made

I have not forgotten you but I'm -

• studying for my food service exam. No really.
• heading up the costume committee for Willie Wonka at my son's school.
• working on my thesis.
• reading the Cairo trilogy.
  
• being undone by clutter. Went through like 2ft of mail yesterday. Hardly made a dent.
  
• shuttling the kids to dance class and play rehearsal and school.
  
• reading Taxi.
• and Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way.
  
• chasing after a 3 year old.
• finishing those Bests of 2009 blog posts.
• seeing some plays (got shushed in the theater last Sunday - before the show even started. Oh! OH! I have something to say about this!)
  
• celebrating birthdays.
• keeping my eye on the deer.
  
• trying to bathe regularly.
• anticipating Yuri's Night.
• Obsessing about elevators, David Bowman's next novel, and crack pie.
  
• Resting.
