The Spinners

I couldn’t think of a snazzy title for this post, but while I was sitting down to write it, the song “Working My Way Back to You, Babe” popped into my head. Anyone reading this old enough to remember that song, or the group named The Spinners? Anyhow, that’s what I wanted to write about in this post – about working my way back to you, my readers. It’s been a long dry year in my blog, and there are a few reasons for it.

What started what turned into a long sabbatical was trying to get recipes tried, typed up and put onto my blog. I claim that my kitchen is my happy place, but I’d ended up with so many sweet treats and desserts to try, when that’s not the kind of cooking I focus on. Plus, my laptop began acting up (it still is) and so I was fighting two battles simultaneously. People who know me know that I have a short string of patience, and I just finally gave up and decided to give this laptop a long winter’s night sleep.

Because I’d left that Happy Place post as a draft, every time I thought about writing a post, I knew I’d look at that in my draft file and while the blogger adult in me was telling me to press on, finish it and then let it go, the child inside of me was pouting and kept repeating, “But I don’t want to. I don’t want to. It will stress me out all over again!” Obviously, the temper tantrum worked.

But I have finally pulled up my big girl panties and decided that I’m going to ignore the Happy Place draft for now and post something entirely different. I’ve been so quiet here that only a few of my readers whom I actually know personally even know I’m still alive!

I don’t know how many posts I’ll put out there. I don’t know if there is anything I will write about that anyone else will even care about. I just know that I need to get my thoughts back in order and writing a blog post has always helped with that. So…. hopefully you’ll see me around a bit more!
