breaking the fast

I know you aren't really looking for an explanation or excuse... we all go through these days or weeks or months without writing for different reasons. Sometimes it is time- yep, I have not taken the time to blog and I have also not felt like I had a lot of extra time to blog. I tried to watch a movie on two separate occasions with someone this week and absolutely fell asleep both times. Camp is in full swing and so "extra time" is but a figment of the imagination.

But, let's be real I just don't make the time either. Camp doesn't swallow me completely whole. I have enjoyed so much of these last 4 and a half weeks of camp and have wanted to capture some of the memories in writing, and I just... haven't. Actually, I brought my camera to work every day this past week to capture memories in this way, and did not take one picture. Lame. But, I have left the property, visited some lovely friends and even gone out to eat a few times... sometimes with my husband, even. It is crazy how we work alongside each other every day but really have to carve out time in the summer to actually be together.

All that's to say- I like to blog about things. That's why I keep this silly weblog. I like it. I love the reading and writing of blogs. But, I felt, I think, that I had to break the fast in a way before I could really write anything. I wasn't sure what to post without somehow breaking the ice with a "hello again", sort of post. Whatever that is supposed to mean...

I think it has been so long I felt like if I didn't acknowledge it, it might be like when people on sitcoms leave without explanation for a season. Like on Boy Meets World when Cory's little sister was gone for a good stretch of time and just showed up one day. She mentions something about being in her room for the "longest time-out she's ever had". I feel like there was another show where the sister disappears and when she comes back just tells her family, "what? I was just getting something to eat..." and goes back into the kitchen. Anybody with me on these?

Anyway- it kind of feels like that to me. So with that, I would like to blog... soon. I mean, camp is the craziest time of year so I am not challenging my self to a post every three days... but, I would like to blog. And if you are still around I hope you'd like to read. Now to catch up on quite a few readings myself...
