So.

Well.

It would appear that I’m taking the summer off when it comes to blogging. Or, more accurately, it would appear that I’m taking the summer off when it comes to the Internet. Not only does my blog lie dormant and ignored…but my Google Reader has somewhere around 500 posts I haven’t yet read, my email Inbox is growing faster than the weeds in our gardens, and my husband (who is involved in, um, zero online social-networking-type things) knew that Twitter has been having problems before I did.

To put it simply, I’m out of the loop.

I can’t really apologize for it, though. It’s been a good summer. Some busyness, some laziness. A short vacation, several trips to the bookstore, wondering how my two children can possibly produce that many crumbs during a single meal.

I’m not off-line simply because I’m “too busy” — though admittedly, some days certainly feel like that. Instead, I think I’ve just needed a change of pace. A little dis-connection.

Like many bloggers, I’ve occasionally entertained the idea of quitting, packing it all in and going back to life as it was before I discovered the blog world. And during this break, I’ve thought that maybe this is IT. Maybe I’m done with the whole blogging thing.

But I’m probably not.

There’s too much I enjoy about it.

So more than likely, I’ll be back.

Maybe when school starts, or maybe before.

I have books and games to review for you, stories to share, thoughts to process.

So if you’re still there — if you haven’t obliterated Callapidder Days from your feed reader or your occasional tour of the Internet — thanks. I hope your summer has been enjoyable.

And I’ll see you soon!
