The Fabricated Goddess

Coming Out Of Hibernation....

   

It's definitely winter around here.  Snow, snow, and well, more snow.  In all areas of my life I seem to be in hibernation mode.  I'm exercising a little less.  I'm napping more.  I'm slacking in all areas of creativity.  I mean just look how I've neglected this blog!   I didn't intend to take such a long break, it just sort of happened and now I need to ease myself back into it.  Sort of the same way you ease yourself back into a regular shaving routine once you realize that you can't cover all that leg hair up with layers and layers of clothing.  You know, one day you look down and realize your legs are sporting a nice downy coat.  But it would be sort of overkill to groom all your extremities the first go.  A girl's got to ease into this sort of thing.  So, you know, you shave that little confused patch of hair that insists on growing on your big toe.  And, maybe your ankles.  Now at least you can wear you flip flops and capris.  Next time, up to the knee.  And maybe after a week of maintaining that you go ahead and tackle those troublesome knees.  

So shall I ease into blogging again.  Just a little bit at a time.  Can you believe I used a leg shaving analogy for that?  I'm more than a little impressed myself, you know, since usually I just whine incessantly about how lazy and pathetic I am. 

Also, I had a dream about blogging which inspired me to take a crack at it again.  I'll be back later to tell you about the dream.  But rest assured, it was just too silly to ignore.  A message from beyond the blogosphere.

Looking Back....

I spent some time yesterday evening transferring some of my archive from my (dot)mac account over here.  Slowly but surely I'm gaining ground on that list of things that I said was 10 miles long.   I have to admit something though, I'm a little ashamed of how many whiney 'I've been lazy, I'll get off my slacking a** and post something soon, blah-de-blah" posts there were.  People!  I don't consider myself a whiner but I sure have whined a whole bunch in the last year.  I would like to extend my humblest apologies to you, dear readers, who have continued to bravely check in.  All three of you.

I did find a few gems though.  I remembered how much I was enjoying doing the 'x365' notes.  I need to pick that up again.  And also, not surprisingly, I actually have been making stuff.  I've just been too lazy (sorry!) to actually document it.  So a little update in that department might be nice, you know, for the sake of posterity and such.

All that to say, internets?  How I have miss you!! I'm sorry I've been in such a self pitying funk.  The last year (okay two, but are really counting?) seemed to have been a low point for a variety of reasons - none of them really good ones either.  BUT, I felt the upswing start to take hold this summer.  And for the first time in a very long time, I'm feeling some hope.   

And you know what?  That really is something.
