Hearing Silent Night -- Sarah McLachlan. She's put out a new Christmas album.
Funny thing about blogs and journals is that lots of people feel guilty if they don't update them on a regular basis, and will post "this is why I haven't been posting" posts the first thing when they come back. This person has collected up some of them. Some are comical, some are sad, and some are, just, well, strange:
"I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been so busy, but hopefully we'll catch up on things. Anyway, my great-grandmother died today."
That's an interesting way to segue into that news, isn't it. Each excuse comes with a link back to the entry in question. What I find interesting is that often the "sorry I haven't been blogging" entry is the last entry in a blog. The psychodynamics of blogs are interesting -- and predictable. That's what I'm trying to say.

Funny....especially the one that said that her cat hid her keyboard, instead of the "mouse". I always just say that hey life happens...it gets in the way of journaling. Mon..watch out for snapping turtles, dangerous critters...Sandi

They forgot one: AOL won't let me, there's something wrong with the journals again today :)

Warning: There's the occasional bad word in the excuses, and definitely the comments.
