And another year draws to a close

As you may have guessed, I haven’t quit the blog. I talked things over with Meg, admitted how I felt like a schmuck for broadcasting my departure only to immediately start posting again, and decided I’d rather be a schmuck with a blog than a schmuck without a blog.

Writing is how I process things. Well, writing and therapy are how I process things, and let me tell you the two have gone a long way in keeping me from devouring an entire bag of Chex Mix in one sitting. Now I only eat half a bag at a time, and while you may not consider that to be a significant accomplishment, it is progress nonetheless.

Maybe what’s really keeping me from eating all the Chex Mix is that I’m incredibly busy. I don’t think I’ve ever been too busy to eat, but there have been moments lately when I just didn’t want to take the time to make a meal. But I did because the child needs to eat more than the other half of the bag of Chex Mix.

I kid.

So I’m busy just like everyone else, and that being said, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas because that’s what we celebrate in my house. And while I do have tons going on and plenty of blog fodder to see me into the New Year, this will have to be the last post of 2009.

I hope your holiday is a blessed one and I’ll see you in 2010.
