On not blogging much

Francofile tries to regularly post fairly cogent and topical posts related to France, but this one is probably going to end up being a loosey-goosey and rambly post that has nothing to do with France.  Chalk it up to the demands of work, getting ready for the holidays, and perhaps to laziness.   At one point I was almost as prolific as the indefatigable Voix or the ultra-disciplined Elisabeth.   I was nearly as up-to-date on current events as the unsurpassed Superfrenchie.  I have been doing more lurking than posting lately, but hope to regain my blogging mojo soon.  Or I could try to be like Amerloque, who does not post all that often, but when he does, it's always a truly worthwhile read. So what are the worthy endeavors that have interfered with my blogging?  Francaise de Coeur would have an excellent excuse not to post.  She just had a baby girl (Tessa Rose) but still manages to update her blog.  The always-intriguing French-language blog Cafe-mode is regularly updated despite the fact that the resident blogueuse has gone back to school to study fashion.  During this blog downtime, I have not written a monograph, nor have I honed abs of steel, dazzled friends and family with gourmet cuisine, or created thoughtful hand-made Christmas gifts.  My excuse is, well--ahem--I don't have one.   Sometimes you  just realize that your to-do list has grown and your available time has shrunk and that you need a new modem, your car needs an oil change, your cats need rabies and distemper shots, along with a hundred other small things that all add up.  And sometimes you agree to take on something that takes 800% more time than you ever thought it would.  Unless you are really good at restoring furniture, for example, don't go on E-Bay and buy an 80-year-old hoosier cabinet that spent a few decades in someone's basement.  In any case, the to-do list is getting whittled down and this little blogging slump is about to come to an end.

[Francaise de Coeur]

Ah, well...after coming to the realization that the lack of sleep (Tessa is perhaps the LAZIEST nurser ever to be born - she'll start for one feeding and then lazily nurse until it's time for the next one), I decided to maybe take a bit of a maternity break after all.

Maybe.

I've given up trying to keep up with SuperFrenchie, anyway, and now seem to spend more time hanging out on his blog than posting on my own.

But don't worry about taking a break, Madame, your fans won't forget you.
