I'm Really Trying.....Well, Almost

So I haven't posted in, let's see.....awhile. Honestly, I recently started a "travelogue" type entry (made famous by conservative CNN infiltrate Jeff Rushing) which told of my elaborate anniversary surprise extravaganza with Leah to Nashville. I clicked "Save" and you know what I got? Some ugly "Sorry...Blogger is down for routine maintenance; This outage will last XXX hours" message (so it was UP when I logged on, but DOWN when I saved). I know what you're thinking--something along the lines of "Dipstick......you shouldn't be doing this stuff at 3 AM and you wouldn't run into to those problems." Wrong. It was 2:00 on a Friday afternoon. I hit the "Back" button on my browser, in an effort to salvage my ingenious, candid, and entertaining post. No such luck. Blank. Zilch. Suddenly my valiant efforts were down the drain, forever lost.

So I've been a bit gun-shy, perhaps. Or lazy. Or both. But now I've turned over a new leaf, and I'm a blogging machine in overdrive. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
