Short Blogging Hiatus

Dont panic. Life is good. Bullety, because blogging scares me right now. This morning we finally secured a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. Woot! But we have to fly it from interstate which left us a bit apprehensive. We made round after round of phone calls, spoke to references, and were reassured. Apparently flying puppies happens quite often - whod have thought? Pup due to arrive at the end of the month. Kids are suitably thrilled. Fingers crossed nothing goes wrong. After MUCH thought, Ive decided to return to Blogger. Originally the idea was to simply shift over when my hosting plan ends at the end of February. And then in my research I discovered um, no, the longer I leave it, the more comments Ill lose in the transfer. Losing all the comments over the past year is maddening but it would be worse to lose the posts themselves, so Im grinning and bearing it. Apparently theres a program out there that will do a reverse transfer from Wordpress to Blogger but I am too technophobic to work it out, so Ive resorted to manual transfer. Yes folks. I am copy/pasting EVERY POST since March of last year. It works, but its SLOW going. I am clone-posting here and at the new site. At some point in the next week I will officially anounce the move. Until then, carry on as normal. But the sooner I restart over at the new/old digs, the better, as the comments thereafter will stay put. More updates soon
