Excuses, excuses (and thanks)
Nov 29th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
I’m feeling ever so guilty for not having an original post today, especially after being featured by FTS as his spotlighted blog of the week (thanks FTS, I’m flattered and honored!). Here come the excuses.
Excuse #1: The post I had all planned for last night had to be postponed until next week for reasons that will be revealed then, and I had nothing prepared to replace it with at the last minute.
Excuse #2: My writing energy for today has already been expended elsewhere, and I’m tapped out.
Excuse #3: I’m a little under the weather, battling a nasty cold, and not up to my usual writing self.
Excuse #4: It’s the beginning of the Christmas season and I’m up to my eyeballs in decorations and addressing Christmas cards.
So instead of an entertaining post, let me take a minute to give a very huge thanks to those of you who visit me regularly. I have discovered that I really enjoy shaping the events of my daily life, childhood memories, and anything else that captures my attention into little stories for your reading pleasure. It still kind of cracks me up that I have readers, which I never expected when I started this blog, and I appreciate all of the positive feedback. Thanks to all of you who leave comments so I know you’ve been by. Thanks to my friends and family who encourage me off-line to keep it up. And thanks to each and every one of you for being my willing guinea pigs as I find my writing voice and refine my style.
For anyone new here via FTS, stay awhile and read on. Dig into the archives. I hope you’ll return.
You never have to be sorry for not writing in YOUR blog silly. 🙂
I hope you are feeling better soon!

Well, I’m one of the newbies. Looks like I have some digging to do.
Hope you had a good holiday; I’ll be back!
Hey, we understand if you’re sick! I love that FTS does that spotlight, but I was reading yours anyway and will keep doing so 🙂
He’s a pretty cool guy, huh?
Hope you’re feeling up to your old self again soon….I really enjoy reading here, I don’t comment often unfortuantely, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love your site. You have inspired me on more than one occassion. Thanks 🙂
I love it when people I read recommend other blogs – as it’s a almost guaranteed I’ll like them too :o)
But I know what you mean about days when you never get around to posting what you meant, or maybe just not in the mood – and I get the ridiculous guilt thing too. Daft ain’t it?!
Hope you get to feeling better!
I can absolutely relate to everything you said (well, except the decorations & cards … haven’t even started THAT yet!).
And I love that FTS has this feature so everybody has the chance to find new & fun reading. We’ll forgive you for missing a post or two!
I over-nighted you a blue bottle of Vicks Vaporub as soon as I heard ! ;~)
Feel better soon, Monique.
One thing I’ve learned about blogging: you don’t have to answer to anyone about when and what you post. It’s yours. Anyway, you have such interesting, entertaining and well-written articles that they’re worth waiting for.
Hope you get to feeling better. I’m going through the same thing. No fun.
We never know when the muse will come knocking, do we? Post when you can and we’ll be here to read. 🙂
It didn’t take much for me to like it here, keep it up 🙂
Have a great day!
So sorry you’re not feeling well. I hope you get well soon, since I know how hectic the holidays can get.
Real sorry you’re under the weather with a cold. Feel better soon, take your medicine like a big girl…:)
‘Tis the season for those nasty bugs to start laying us low. No need for excuses! Take care. ^j^
