How to effectively ignore your blog

In case you've been itching to know...here's how you can easily go two-and-half months without blogging, (not that I recommend it):

1. Your 4-year-old stops taking naps, rendering yourself ready for bed as soon as you tell her "Good Night."
2. Get a sore throat and consequently rupture your ear drum. Apparently it's not that strange of a connection. Something about tubes in the back of your throat. Bad tubes, bad. 
3. Start the summer with a 17-day vacation that had so much to share you didn't know where to start, so you said, "when I get home I'll blog about it." And we all know blogging is just like exercising and we should never skip a workout.
4. Get home from vacation and find shortly thereafter that your internet modem most likely got electrocuted leaving you with no connection to the outside world. How did we ever liiivvve....
5. Between opportunities to snake a signal from your unsuspecting neighbor, you entertain three sets of house guests in one month.
6. Between catching up on laundry, you somehow manage to get a new replacement for your modem for free and shortly thereafter discover your phone line is dead, rendering your brand-new modem useless. 
7. Then you win an "award" from your church for Most Likely to Go Deaf Before Age 35 (I only mention since it's ironic considering #2), melt at the zoo while eating free ice cream, host book club, celebrate 8 years of marriage, dress for girls' night and sit down to a brand-spankin' new internet connection. 
8. You are here. 

Somewhere in the middle of all that, you snap this picture.

Aaaaand...you're back. You remember why you started this blog thing in the first place. You want to share with loved ones, and that's all. You want them to share in your joy, and maybe laugh at your expense sometimes. For our parents, for our family and friends near and far, for me.

I mean, how could I not.....?
