I am obviously the worst blogger on the World Wide Web. Well, at least of The Herald News bloggers.
It has been weeks since I've written anything and I'm sorry to those who had become regular readers and have now given up.
Believe it or not, blogging is more difficult to keep up with than you think. It is not due to lack of topics that I have not written, just lack of time.
But since being too busy is not very amusing I thought I would come up with a list of better excuses. Obviously my dog didn't eat my blog. I don't even have a dog.
1.) It's Christmas and I am a Christmas freak. It took me a week to get my boyfriend to bring the decorations down from the attic and it will take me another week to get everything up. This is my first Christmas in my new house. Decoration placement takes time and planning. No time for blog-storming.
2.) There is a leak in my roof. OK my boyfriend had it fixed in two days, but I have been dwelling on it for weeks now. Who has time for blogging when you're plotting revenge on the previous house owners for hiding a leak?
3.) I'm still digesting turkey and cannot lean forward to type.
4.) I have blogger's block.
5.) And of course, I put some of the blame on my editors for overworking me. I don't have time for blogging.
Alright, most of these excuses are BS. So I've decided to start my New Year's resolution early and vow to be a better blogger.
I really enjoy the comments I receive and the interaction with readers. So please, put me back on your daily internet surfing list and I promise to make it worth your time.
