I Have No Good Excuse...

But that doesn't mean I don't have a slew of really bad excuses - as to why this blog has been abandoned for as long as it has. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

**I have been otherwise occupied trolling the Television Without Pity (TWOP) forum boards to find other seemingly mature adults totally and pathetically obsessed with the true piece of crap show called "Teen Mom 2." I am severely not proud of the fact that I watch the show at all - never mind my ridiculous and appalling need for more information on teenagers for whom I have nothing but fond contempt. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and hope to high heaven that no one ever finds me out. But, I have come clean like the addict I am, and from here on, I will just have to take whatever repercussions come my way.

**I have begun working out on the treadmill more often, which means I have had to switch around my other time-wasters to different points in the day, leaving less creative energy with which to post my random meanderings. (On the flip side, I have begun re-watching Beverly Hills 90210's amazingly terrific sixth season as I run. There are really no words as to the gleeful happiness this provides my soul. Really. Those are the only words I have.)

**I have actual human friends in the area with whom I spend social time. This is not something usual since my move to North Carolina. Of course, I knew people and we did things. But, these "things" were mainly sporadic, and the usual "people" in my day-to-day were either married to me or, technically, not people. (Hint: They are of a canine variety.) Now, my social calendar has picked up, and my postings have dwindled. But, fear not - I intend to turn this around! (And we all know that no roads to any place less desirable were ever paved with good intentions...)

**Actual work has gotten in the way of the aforementioned activities, rudely taking the time I might have used to update this venture. Although on one hand unacceptable, this is apparently the cultural norm. Unlike positions I may have held in the past (and I will not incriminate myself, since I plunked down $50,000-plus on a legal education wherein I learned at least this much) I now don't always have as much time for, um, extracurriculars during the workday. I am working to adapt the best I know how.

That is pretty much all I have. What can I say? I will try to do better.

Thank you.
