Seems that once again time has simply run away from me and it’s been a whole blogging year since last I was here. I give up. There is no way I can return to bloggin on the scale I once did.
So it is with sadness that I relegate myself to the role of ‘Auntie Kell.’ Every family has a version of Auntie Kell. You know the one that shows up at all the big events but no one ever hears from in between? The one who people point and stare at during family get together’s saying ‘I THINK I remember her, wasn’t she married to Uncle Joe’s second cousin who had the 15 kids and disappears for years at a time?’ all the while smiling politely and pretending that they have a clue about who she is and who she is related to and gee maybe she DOES look like a little familiar?
That’s me. I’m your Auntie Kell.
Feel free to stand and point and try to recall where you saw me last!
I will ATTEMPT to visit everyone today or tonight…no promises here, but I do have good intentions! Right now there is a load of washing that needs my attention, a few P&C calls to make and a roast that has my name on it just WAITING to be selected, purchased and cooked to perfection in my crappy as hell oven. Have fun!

I feel your pain Kell. One thing I might suggest, which I’ve found helpful, is using Twitter and incorporating their plugin into your blog somewhere so your short posts are visible by your dedicated readers.
I find it’s heaps easier to toss out several 2 sentence updates over the course of a day than gather enough time and attention for an entire post. I’ve had a lot of trouble with that lately as well.
And commenting on other people’s blogs? Forget about it…I’ve been shocking at that lately!
Kel,
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Blogging is supposed to be fun/fulfilling/enjoyable. If it has become a chore, its not worth it. Take a break.
Hugs

You think your oven’s bad..? One of my hot plates rusted away so much it caved in the other day lol… i put a pan full of water on it (i wanted to have a bath and we only have enough hot water A DAY to have two quick showers and do one sinkful of dishes… so if i want a bath late at night i have to heat pots of water on all four hot plates AND heat the kettle at the same time.. about 45 minuets later i’ve got half a bath of semi-warm hot water) and the entire hot plate just sunk inside the oven… now that’s “shitty as hell”.
I’m with Mike on that one, I’ve heard of twitter, it seems pretty cool. And snap with cris, just pop by when you feel an unbelievable compulsion that you just can’t fight, to my blog that is
Have a great night and weekend matey
You know Kel,
Things change. They always do. Your life has changed in the last year and so has mine and probably everybody else’s. It’s really okay to let them change. I suspect too, that your need to blog has changed as well. Maybe last year you needed the blog more, needed to express what you were expressing then, more. But now, not so much?
Instead of apologizing for not blogging, maybe you could just reassess what you want the blog to be for yourself now in the new life, the new moment? Maybe it’s just a once a week thing or a once a month thing or screw the time element - just go with the mood. Anyway, I guess you get what I’m trying to say. There are no rules, you blog when and how you want. It’s okay to let the old blog go and reshape it into what you need it to be today.
Love,
Annie
