Post-it note:

My blog has resembled something of a black hole of late. I keep jotting down little things I want to tell you all and then never quite finding a thinking-sized chunk of time in which to do so. So here's my little placeholder, my post-it note to say that I'm here, alive, and busy -- though not always wearing beach hats and hawaiian leis (my little brother took the picture before a party last Friday night). So I'll catch you up on my world sometime -- hopefully -- soon.

In the meantime, what's happening in yours? I'm a little lonely tonight, so I'd love to hear something from your part of the planet.

What's the happiest thing that's occurred this week?

What new discovery have you made?

What was the best thing you ate?

How are you celebrating the arrival of Winter -- or Summer?

(and thank you for your comments at the last post. I have been mulling over them and been encouraged by them).

Love. xx

Greetings from the void

I apologise for the lack of posting and commenting, and offer you a sheepish face until next week when I hope to a) find where the date stamp on my blog posts has disappeared to, and b) attempt some regular posting again.

What's new in your worlds?

conversations:

Simplythis -- you already know this, but I love how you write about books and your responses, and especially as regards these ones. You are quite awesome.

Southeastcountrywife -- yes, it's creeeepy.

Sarah -- I think you nailed it (again!): the issue is not about imagination or fantasy, but whether evil is celebrated. Bravo!

Lauren -- the first comment from you! Woo :). Hmm, we need to do more research, I thinky.

Karli -- awesome!! I'd heard pieces of info about "real" vampires before, but never real facts. Thanks for posting those!
