No excuses...

If you could see me now, you'd see my head bent down in shame. I just looked at the date of my last blog posting...August 31st! That's five whole months of non-posts, perhaps a huge shot in the foot, the ultimate lame-0 move in the world of blogging (if you care about any of that). Since the purpose of having a blog is to actually blog, I really have no excuse. Sure, I started my own business, had a new baby, managed to somehow be awake and present for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, and get my kids out the door to school on time (lunchboxes packed, hair brushed, teeth brushed, and clothes on right side out - most days) thank you very much.

It was my editor at the VC Reporter who pointed it out to me - why should they post a link to my blog if its really more of a non-blog, a sleeper, an antique blog with a thick coat of dust accumulating on it? There really isn't anything more annoying than going to someone's blog, only to find that they haven't posted in ages. I don't want to be that blogger.

Sure, I thought about letting it go. Blogging doesn't pay and it's just one more thing on my never ending to-do list, right? But the more I thought about it, I realized I don't want it to wither away. And as the idea rolled around in my head this weekend, a few blog posts started to come together in my mind...and as they did, I felt energized. I felt that creative spirit coming back. So here I am, emerging from my sleep-deprived haze, ready to write, post and re-enter the world of blogging and local food happenings again...
