The dog ate it

To Whom it May Concern,

Please excuse Alison's absence from participation on this site for the past three weeks. She has many excuses reasons.

She put a new addition into the household, in the form of a puppy.
Cheyenne cannot stand the new addition.
New addition tries to chew everything that moves or is stationary.
Alison spends a lot of time chasing the new addition away from table legs, chair legs, and books on the lower shelves.
Alison's beautiful, intelligent, funny, sweet niece has been in town since mid-June and will be here for two more weeks.
They've seen a lot of movies.
They've read a lot of books.
They've spent a good bit of time wandering through bookstores.
They've completed a couple of very difficult jigsaw puzzles.
They've been to the cabin.
Alison's other niece came to Houston last week.
There was much laughter and cupcake baking in the house.
Both Alison's nieces left for Austin on Saturday.
The younger one returned yesterday afternoon courtesy of Southwest Airlines.
Alison is currently doing temp work for a friend whose assistant is on vacation.

With the above in mind, please excuse her absence.  She has every intention of returning.  Unless the puppy eats her computer.  Which is a definite possibility.

Sincerely,
The non-blogger, formerly known as a blogger
