What year is this?

The Blainian curse of Bloggery has struck once more, and I have been MIA for many a moon. However, it has recently come to my attention that my blog has a reader. Yes, one WHOLE reader. Granted, that reader was my mother, but it is a reader nonetheless! So I have decided to return to the world of bloggery, on a more regular... semi-regular-- more than once every four months basis. So dear reader, you have much to look forward to as I promise to try and plan to write maybe once a week.
