Untitled number who knows
I popped into several blogs tonight and it seems that there is a general malaise going around. Peeps are apologizing for not blogging as if one is required, by law, to do a daily journal entry. Comon if it were a notebook you wouldn't be tripping over yourselves with the apologies. It's cause it's public right? I personally don't feel I owe my blog readers anything. Especially given that I am not that interesting IMO but I do appreciate comments and help offered. Guess what?
It's my birthday...
Guess what else?
I am getting a divorce. No make that a legal seperation.
I don't owe anybody any apologies for not writing about the joys of becoming a single unemployed mother of 3 wee ones[ages 3-10 for those who don't pay any attention] at the tender age of 41. And I certainly am not gonna ask anybody for forgiveness for not reading or writing or thinking or even doing anything fibery at the moment.
Happy Birthday Me

*hugs*. IM me if you need anything, or if you just want someone to talk to.

Well that is some birthday present! Happy birthday to you... We'll talk when you visit.

Oh, Elka, my heart is with you and those wonderful girls. I hope they are busy giving you birthday hugs and kisses.

Oh, Elka - I'm sorry things didn't work out. Happy birthday, huh? I'll be thinking of you.

Hi Elka- I wish you a very happy birthday- mine is on Monday- and send you warm hugs. Sounds to me like you're going to have your hands full in the next while, and you don't ever have to apologize to anyone.
Keep the faith-

Happy Birthday, Elka! Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Oh, Elka...I don't even know what to say. Zap me if you need anything at all. I'm with Caro - that's some birthday present. I'm thinking of you, and take some good care of yourself today.

Oh, Elka honey, what a hell of a birthday! I wish I could do something for you. I am so thinking positive thoughts and hugs and wooly goodness for you. It will all work out eventually. You just keep blogging or not blogging, and we're here for you.

Happy Birthday, Elka. :)
Otherwise, well, damn. Certainly, no apologies are needed for not posting when life hands you a sack of shit, or a bunch of roses for that matter. I hope the coming year brings much better things.

My grandmother is 83 today. When she was in her 20s her husband left her with two young children, and she never apologized for anything. She would have much respect for you. I wish you many many more happy birthdays.

Happy Birthday to you Elka! I wish you the best, I truly do! Many Hugs to you and the wee ones.

Well, let's hope that this birthday means a new leaf, and happy new beginnings. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.

Well, first off, happy birthday! Sorry to hear about your news...what is going on in the universe? I'm afraid to say I'm essentially in the same boat...and it really sucks.
I know you're not apologizing (and good for you!) but do take the time and space you need through this.
Posted by: Carry at April 8, 2006 03:54 PM
Elka, I hope every thing works out for you. Best wishes.

Happy B-Day, Elka!
It is silly to apologize for not blogging, but I have done so before I realized it was silly. I think I was apologizing because I felt to obligated to post and thusly obligated to apologize for not blogging. Silly and silly!

Elka, I promise you, the day will come that you'll thank the PTB that you got rid of the swine. Meanwhile, come to my house - we'll knit and eat and design wonderful, creative vengeance spells (not to cast - but the process of designing them is soooo cathartic!)

Happy Birthday. This is my first stop at your blog so I'm a little late with the wish. Best wishes for you and your family.

Happy birthday Elka. I'm sorry about the separation. I will be thinking of you and the kids. I have been out of the work loop for 10 years so I can imagine how scary it must be. I'll say extra prayers for you.
