au revoir
Earlier this week I thought, “It’s a crazy week, but I can handle blogging as well! No big deal!” And then Wednesday rolled around and I thought, “Who am I kidding? I’ll have to skip Weekly Goods! But I’ll have time to read blogs tomorrow so I can do Friday Bits, no big deal!” And then today rolled around and I was like, “OK, screw it. When my favorite bloggers don’t post for a few days I don’t even notice and I find apologies for absences more annoying than absences.” But this isn’t an apology, I just wanted to make you jealous of the french toast* I rewarded myself with after a batshit week and also say au revoir (excuse my French, it’s the toast talking) as we head to Seattle tomorrow for a few days. I have some sweet guest bloggers for two of those days so that I don’t feel compelled to write an obnoxious apology post next week. This trip is exciting/weird/nervous-making as Will’s dad is flying out to meet us and finally meet my family. We decided that after nearly five years of dating perhaps it was time. No big deal. My family won’t embarrass me at all just as Will’s dad won’t embarrass him. Right, Bill?
It’s quite possible that I owe you an email, and for that I will actually apologize for, but I need a week off big time. TGIF, y’all! Have a great weekend.
*Square One, the only good thing – and I mean good – about the crappy five-block radius around my apartment. Thank you Jessica and Lisa for rescuing me from my apartment!

Square One is delish and so happy that you like it! They carry my client’s jam there, I just might have to send you one. Have fun up in Seattle, hope the meeting of families goes well.

That’s so funny Natalie, while I was there today I noticed the jam for the first time (I go there waaay too often) and thought about checking it out but forgot in a haze of french toast hangover.

You have to do what you have to do. And instead of apologizing I suggest that you make us look forward to your posts taking some breaks as you need them. We won’t go anywhere and if we do, it probably means that it’s our time for a break and we’ll be back soon. Enjoy your trip!

I once took a small blogging break without posting about it and actually had people email me! So ever since then, I try to give notice. I hope it doesn’t come across as annoying or pretentious.
I totally understand the overwhelmed feeling, I really have no idea where last week went. I hope the family meet-up goes well! I’m always afraid my dad will say the wrong thing – he seems to have a knack for being brutally honest at the worst possible moment.
