I know some of you were wondering. After my 6 month hiatus, I somehow feel lost starting the blog back up. I do exist, have existed, just haven't had the time to blog. In short, life got complicated. Over the past 6 months, I've taken two new jobs, both at different ends of the world (or so it feels like), have decided to get healthy (lost 60 lbs.), gained 10 back, haven't read as much, but also made more time for my family (the kids are getting big so fast), and pretty much got into a new daily rhythm. It hasn't been easy. But alas, I've made it out in one peace, sane of mind, and happy. That's what matters right?!
Ok, so down to business. I have no idea what's going on. I mean, I've visited all my old daily blogs. Some of you are there, some of you aren't. I guess my life wasn't the only one to get complicated. I updated all your cute blog buttons (check you out, on my sidebar). But I was wondering what new blogs have popped up in the last 6 months that I should follow. Suggestions...
Also, I see that so many of you are truly faithful followers and stuck around for those 6 months when there was complete and total silence on my end. I can't tell you how grateful I am for that. Some of you I never even got around to meeting. Please introduce yourselves in a comment to this post with a link to your blog. I would love to drop by and say hello.
I want to get the blog back up to snuff and will be reinstating the Bookcase of the Week feature. Any of you interested in participating? If so, please let me know. I have to start somewhere, why not with your bookcases.
All in all, I'm glad to be back. I was so happy to hear from some of you guys already. I've missed blogging, missed book chatting, and missed you.
Giveaways will also be reinstated soon. I can't wait!!
We are happy to have you back! =)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. :) I did wonder where you'd got to but I was one of those you never got to know. ^^
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your bookshelf tours all over again - I always loved those!

So glad you're back! I've been looking out for your reviews and other posts.
ReplyDeleteWe just became friends on GoodReads and I have just discovered your blog -- just in time for your exciting return! I'll be back =)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I hardly blogged in 2008 and then it became hard to get back in the swing of things so when I did blog it was basically 'I am still alive posts'... It was 2009 before I got back in the swing of things. And, people stuck around, so bloggers are generally loyal. :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm so happy I did! It's so well put together and I really love your reviews. Total inspiration for a newbie like me :)
ReplyDeletePS - congrats on the weight loss! I'm trying to do that too!
Oh hon!!! I'm so glad you are back!!!!! I missed you so much and don't worry we would never abandon you just because life got complicated for a while!
ReplyDeleteawwww Nely your back...:D I missed seeing your reviews blog friend. And congrats on the weight loss, can you send me your secrets because my butt needs it...
ReplyDeleteLOL
I saw the one review pop up. Then another. And I was hoping that you've comeback and now you have!! Welcome back! Kudos to you on the weight loss!!
ReplyDeleteDarling! Welcome back! Missed you! So glad to hear you're ok.
ReplyDelete60 pounds? Holla! *high five* You go girl!
So glad to have you back!
Welcome back! Sometimes we just need a little break from things. You'll get in the hang of things again ^.^
ReplyDeleteCongrats on losing 60 pounds! It's a lot of hard work (done it myself), but possible. Congrats again!
I'm a new follower of your blog and looking forward to future posts and reviews.
