No apologies.

Here are four reasons I haven't been blogging:

1. I have been busy seeing more bears. Well, more bear. Just one.

2. In my free time, I've been reading Love in the Time of Cholera. It was good until twenty pages ago. I'll still finish it, but not with a smile.

3. I work full-time. It's like I'm a real adult, except that I regularly eat animal crackers.

4. When I sit down at the table to update, the boyfriend (who is always here when I blog because I use the internet at his house) tricks me into playing Go Fish or eating ice cream instead.  It's a rotten situation.

In sum, please stop crying about the lack of blogging, because my life is difficult.
