My hard drive blew up, so the blog is on hiatus until I get it sorted out. Truthfully, the whole thing comes at a great time. My son and I recently read the Berenstein Bears Too Much TV and it made me nostalgic for nature walks, handwritten stories and childhood knitting spools. The distance from the email and internet is soothing.
But even the Berenstein Bears could only handle the quiet life for a week. I’ll be back in the blogging craze in a few days!
Enjoy your time off. We’ll be here when you get back.

Ouch! Computer problems are the pits. The upside is you can spend some great quality time with your son. The blogosphere won’t be the same without you, but we’ll be here when you get back.

What a bummer. Hope you didn’t lose anything serious.
Hope the weather’s good in your area so you can enjoy the enforced vacation.

Eep about the hard drive. Yay for simpler times and connection with flesh-and-blood humans.

I did notice your absence.
My first thought was for what you might have lost on your hard drive. Which reminds me, to back up mine.

Dude! That’s awful. It made me want to hug my computer when I heard the news. Such terrible things can happen to hardrives. It really makes me appreciate my own good fortune.
OK, so now that I’ve said that, watch, mine will explode on me.

Mine did that not long ago too. The break wasn’t so bad.. especially since I had just done a back up. I think computer failure is nature’s way of saying, “get off your butt!”

Hey Kirsten, just wanted to let you know that I’ve decided to delete my Strategic Communications Maven blog and start all over again with something totally different–travel tips. I’m new to this whole blogging thing, and am still figuring out what route I want to take. Thanks for being my one (and only) dedicated blog follower on The Strategic Communications Maven, and I hope you’ll check out my new blog: http://carolinesunusualplaces.com

Yeah. I’m missing you. Come back, even if just one quick post a month.
I hope you are alright…and that you’re getting a lot of writing done.
