I have been distant, dare I say negligent in the past few weeks with my usage of you. It’s nothing you’ve done. Oh, no, you’ve been fantastic, always steady, consistent, and wonderfully informative, but never in a cocky, know-it-all way. Thank you. I really appreciate that. But, I think it’s me. Every time I sit in front of my gorgeous new computer, and I open my browser to look at your stuff I think of 12 different things I should be doing instead, like cleaning the rain gutters. I’ve never cleaned the rain gutters out before. Is that something I should be doing? What happens if I don’t? Does it become a fire hazard? Speaking of crap I’ve never done with my house; I’ve never had the air conditioning ducts cleaned out. My family is breathing in toxic air and they’re probably going to wind up with the bird flu or the Ebola virus, and I’m just sitting here looking up dirt on Perez HIlton’s blog. Oh Shit! My family is all going to die from the Black Lung in my air conditioning ducts and after that my house is going to burn down if I don’t clean them out, RIGHT THIS MINUTE!
See? See my problem?
So, I’ve decided to distance myself from you for a while, but not because I’m cleaning out my air conditioning ducts or my rain gutters, but because I’m thinking about it, and that’s almost as good as actually doing it.

I knew you’d understand,

xoxo,
