Blog guilt

Just watched Julie and Julia and mid-movie it dawned on me that I have a blog and have not posted it to more than six months.

I am a bad blogger mother. If this blog was a child, the CPS would have been banging on my door taking the poor thing away. If this blog was a dog, he would have moved in with the neighbors. If this blog was my friend, well, wait, good friends put up with you ignoring them for long periods of time, right? Isn't that part of being a good friend? You just have to apologize really nice and then they just go right back to being friends with you, right. Hmmm...

ME: Hey blog its so good to see you! (hug) Sorry I haven't been in contact. I mean, Wow, it's been forever hasn't it? I have been so busy, you wouldn't believe it.
BlOG: Really, busy doing what? Writing your book?
ME: Book? Um. Yeah. I did get some of that done. And...um I've been writing a lot of poetry. And I've made a bunch of collages and well, I met this really great friend.
BLOG: Yeah, I know. I read it on your Facebook.
ME: Oh...are you on FB?
BLOG: You seem to have a lot of time for facebook. Five to ten updates a day....And I saw your tweets.
ME: You're on twitter?!
BLOG: Your MySpace page seems to get a lot of your attention too.
ME: Well it's just that, well you know, those are part of my business.
BLOG: I used to be your business. Now I'm just sitting here alone waiting, just waiting. You know I was your first friend. When you had no one else, you had me. And now I'm just left on the side of the digital highway. Isolated on the internets. You never take me out anymore. You never bring me flowers. You never--
BUZZZZ
ME: Oh that's my phone. excuse me for a second blog...

Four posts in two years??? Don't wear yourself out! Julie would whip you with a wet noodle if she knew.

Thank you SisterPwords!
My first comment. I'm thrilled.
Just so you know, Julia did whip me with a wet noodle and the hot colander she was straining it in. Now my starch-striped face has little holey scars in it to remind me to bliggity-blog!
