But I am guilty of Blog Abandonment in the First Degree. I can't tell you how terrible I feel that I have caused people to suffer concern for my well-being and how terrible I feel for welching on my blog obligations.
It wasn't intentional -- nor was it personal. I miss all my blog friends terribly. I hope I can work on reconnecting and getting this blog back up to snuff. My plan is to go through all my unread emails this weekend as well as the unread comments, catch up on what I've missed in the blogosphere and then start posting again next week. Hope this place hasn't turned into a major porn spam dumping ground.
Again my abandonment wasn't intentional -- life just kind of blew up on me last November and December between my boss becoming permanently disabled with a severe brain injury, relatives dying, me being seriously ill and lots of other stuff. Between one thing and another, I somehow didn't get around to posting for several weeks despite every intention of throwing something up on htis blog. Then come New Year, I procrastinated about getting back on the blog because I am still crazybusy at work trying to make up for my boss's absence and I am not sure how to fit blogging into my life anymore. But I know I desperately want to find a way to make it work.
Again, my sincere apologies for disappearing. I will be back, probably next week.
You're alive! Yay!

Glad to hear you're okay - and quit feeling guilty! I may have only heard about it, but I believe that there is life beyond blogging, so don't feel bad about participating in it!

Glad to hear that you are well, sorry about everything that happened. The absence is certainly understandable.
Oh, and Congrats! Despite the absence and lack of promotion for your blog you came in third for the most recent awards:
