Into the Sunset

Oh, hi there! Things are getting a little cobwebby around here lately, as you can see. Work suddenly became very busy and exciting this fall, and I have had to take off my crocs and go out into the world to be a stern professional lady a lot. The rest of the time, picture me as a happily flustered mom, wiping pureed carrots off my yoga pants and playing peekaboo. Lotta people in my head these days.

So anyway, rather than let this poor little blog sink into the quicksand of neglect, I think it is probably time to just end it. I don't really have that much to say anymore, certainly not that much that a lot of smarter and funnier people aren't already saying on mommyblogs all over the internet. If you're looking for me, I'll probably be over reading Flotsam, actually. Or All and Sundry.

I like words and I know a lot of them, but I am pretty sure there's nothing in my vocabulary that really sums up how much old Dear Gherkin and all you folks out there in the internet have meant to me during my times of trial and celebration. Let's just say a bunch. A whole bunch. This blog has been my oasis of sanity in a desert of chaos, y'all. But my camel's drunk, my canteen is full, and I guess it's time to head for the horizon. Wow, that is a gosh-darn cheesy metaphor, and further proof that it's time for me to say adios. Be well, my friends.

May the information superhighway rise up to meet you.
May the firewall be always at your back.
May the glare from your monitor shine warm upon your face, and your fingers fall soft upon your keys.
And until we meet again, my friends, may the internet hold you lovingly in the palm of its hand.
