It's not goodbye...not really

Okay, here's the deal. I just had a baby...like a week ago. So, I'm letting my 2 readers know that I will most likely be taking a hiatus from my blog. You might have already noticed the postings have slowed to a mere trickle these past couple of months. I apologize for that but I was so tired and all I could focus on was getting ready for baby - nothing that any of you would have found interesting I am sure. My husband hasn't done too much recently to piss me off so no blog material there either. And as you know I prefer to not blog about kid-related issues. However I might have to break that rule since my brain will only allow me to think about baby baby baby (damn hormones). Fear not, after a few months I'm sure I'll start noticing more tedious things that I feel the need to blog about - like this one person whom I have tried to always be friendly towards and she just doesn't seem to feel the need to reciprocate. It's very awkward - I am constantly wondering "Do I still need to wave? Do a head nod of acknowledgement? Or is it just more comfortable for her if I pretend not to see her?" I really just want to say "Listen, I get that you don't really like me and I'm fine with that. I'm not out to win any popular votes and I don't feel the need to be friends with everyone. However, I do think it's common courtesy to acknowledge people that you know in some small way. So from now on let's make eye contact, say "hey" and get on with it." I mean most of the time I do that with strangers (it is Iowa, land of friendly people) so I'm thinking that's the least I can do for someone I actually know. But I digress...

If you don't hear from me for a while you'll understand. And if you don't then you've obviously never had a child or you are a man.
