Dear Blog,
I apologize for the neglect you will be suffering over the next few weeks. It's not that I don't love you anymore; it's simply that there are not enough hours in each day to give you the attention and care you are accustomed to receiving.
I know, I know, it's not fair. Just when you've discovered a new way we can play and have fun together, I up and leave you in the lurch. You jealously scan other blogs with new feed every day and wonder why you are left alone with no new content for days on end.
Let's compromise. You forgive me for the upcoming neglect and I'll add a new page on Moving to update as I get things accomplished. That way you'll at least get a little action regularly.
Don't worry, I'm not about to drop you off at the shelter for abandoned blogs. I just need you to understand that I won't be able to play with you as much as I have in the past.
Sincerely,
Chile

OK! You have a life and will have lots more to blog about. Don't work too hard.
Hey, I understand!
I've been moving house, and blog updates have been last on the list of importance. I think people generally understand that sometimes life just takes over, you know?
Take it easy. We're here when you get back.
We understand that alright. Just drop us the occasional line and we'll be happy. Specially about your new home :)

ps I've got a whole nother bunch of pills to try out :( I was too allergic to the last lot....painfully allergic! Mostly gone now but not looking forward to the next onslaught.
viv
We'll be here when you get back :)
@knutty knitter, hope the new batch of meds works for you.
peace, Shamba
Like they all said, we'll be here when you get here.
peace and smooth moving, Shamba
You're forgiven -- if you catch us up with some more great blogs. Frankly, I don't know how any of you young whippersnappers maintain your busy lives and blogs. But, will wait for the next update.
How about La Casa Mesa (that takes in the land)
Excellent, maybe this way I'll keep on top of reading Chile Chews. ;)
:-)
Good Luck.
Kind Regards
Belinda
Callie - if I don't work too hard, I'm gonna fall really far behind...
Daharja - yeah, you're going through the same stuff now. Isn't it exciting?!
Viv - owowowowow; hope the next pills are working out better.
Hausfrau - good!
Shamba - you know, we will have more peace out there - literally and figuratively. :)
Sharlene - the blogroll is full of more blogs than anyone can read in a day. Explore!
Naming the place is on hold. Seems like we ought to live there first. But thanks for the suggestion.
Stephanie - ... and maybe I'll be able to keep up with your reading. ;-)
Belinda - thanks!
Boy can I relate to this. I neglected my blog during moving time, too. Love the idea of a Moving Updates page! As one who has just been through this process you will be forgiven for not posting much in the next little while. Just remember we're all waiting eagerly to hear news of the new place once you arrive!
Rural Aspirations - I'm not neglecting it as much as I should. It's a good way to wind down throughout the day from the stress of packing and all the damn paperwork (purchase, change of address, etc.).
