*UPDATE: dear diary, perhaps you were unaware of this, but some people manage to be creative, even when words fail 'em... check out what Shayna did for me HERE!! you can't tell, but i'm blushing. i'd like to THANK Shayna for such a wonderful and lovely gesture...and, as soon as i can figure out what to say, i probably will!!
dear diary: it's finally come to this. i'm using what few ideas i have over HERE, and am left holding an empty bloggy bag on my own site. what's to become of me? how shall i cope? more importantly, how will you cope? i don't know if you know this, but without me, you are nothing more than a collection of empty pages worth little more than a hanging chad in a florida election. oh, i suppose i could learn origami, and fold some of your pages into a paper pond full of swans and tiny boxes, but without opposable thumbs, it's gonna be real hard.
now i'm not saying i'm tossing you out, diary, but on days when i've got nothin' to share, instead of writing, i'm gonna glue in a few pictures of me 'n the boys frolicking in the front yard, and see how that works out. with luck i'll be able to scrape together a few words in the near future... but, if i were you, i wouldn't hold my breath.

fair enough. :) somedays there just isn't anything to say!

Just knowing you're here is a pleasure indeed and what's that old saying...a picture is worth a thousand words...so the way I figure it you've got several thousand pretty good worms there Roxanne! I love you and I'm so glad it's the weekend. Amazing how these "short" weeks seem so long!

Impressive scaling of that wall Bobo - not only wise, but athletic. No wonder you keep him around :)
Now this is what I like to see - a post. Don't worry, I'm sure Mommy is working on a killer post.

YAY!!!! You are back!!!! I love the pictures of your puppies. They are such beauties, to say the least!
And I just adore YOU! Thank you, THANK YOU for the beautiful email! It did my heart good to read you... lord knows I constantly talk to you in my head so real moments of communication are such a high! ;-) Others reading this may think me nuts, but I know you understand!
I had to stop by and say hello, wish you a happy weekend, and hopefully, if this hectic day of frantic cleaning cause my family is coming over tomorrow (which will then be a crazy day of frantic baking as I plan on baking 3 cakes and 24 muffins) eases up on me and my nutty and absolutely defiant and my god when did they get such attitude kids allow me, I am hoping to give yu a quick call for a hello because I miss your voice (if that is ok!!! If not, write me NOOOOOOOOOOOO as in not today and I will catch you some other day!!!!!).....
Have a beautiful weekend and all my love and oh so many kisses,
ME..

g: one never knows when one is gonna need a wall scaled. so, you're right, it's good to keep the bobo handy, just in case... as for the "killer post". don't hold your breath. i keep thinking someone will beat me with an inspiration stick, thus far, no takers! xoxox
Miz B: cakes? muffins?? that's a lot of baking...no wonder everyone's taking off their clothes around there! hee hee! i hope your visiting family appreciates the wonderful efforts... i know i would!
i'm sorry we didn't have a chance to chat, but no one understands the demands of kids (when *did* they get so defiant/such attitude, indeed!) and "life". we'll talk when we talk!!
i ADORE YOU... and send you back as many kisses & hugs as a beautiful BoheMian can stand!! xoxox
pia: thank you so much! i'm honored to see you here... and hope you'll come back, soon! xox

You should never feel pressured to write. It Central Snark Yours? It's hilarious, and soon to be a favorite of mine.
You gotta do what you gotta do. I don't write unless I feel the urge. Kind of like pooping.
If you force the poop you get a rhoid:)
Love ya girl.
It's gonna be okay.

Love your puppies ... Max-A-Million (my guest blogging puppy!) says hi!
And as for diaries and journals ... they are worth the energy in the end aren't they? Pop by and do my survey on journal writing for my research if you are interested.
