You're a tough crowd; I'm back-ish... sort of... maybe

Thanks for the various subtle and not so subtle reminders that I've not posted in a while. As you might have noticed from my flickr site, I've been away for a bit and before that... I have no idea what I was doing but it certainly wasn't writing in my blog. Thank you for the gentle nudges. Anyway, it's 11:00 PM and the muse is getting a bit tired and cranky. But, for you faithful cafe visitors I will offer a few post titles that I thought about writing over the past few weeks and will try to get to over the next short while. Heck, if you're really inspired, vote for the entry you want me to write first and I'll see what I can do.

1. "Slow food, why not slow reads? Or, why I should have signed this Virginia Woolf novel up for frequent flier points"
2. "Orange Prize winners"
3. "An Ode to the Perfect Latte"
4. "Because our dishwasher was leaking, we now have a new countertop, kitchen sink, uber-groovy faucet, and dishwasher that wasn't working because it needed a part that we waited 10 days for but now it is working and that is a good thing because I realized I've become a very bad washer of dishes since I've owned a dishwasher and, now that the dust has cleared from that project, we've decided to install subway tile which means I've spent way too many hours looking at pictures of subway tile and thinking about the respective merits of grey, black and white grout and, I have to admit, that scares me: since when did I become a person who thinks about grout in her spare time? Then again last year I asked "since when did I become a person who goes for a walk and says, 'hey, check out the downspout on that house' so maybe this is all temporary."
5. "Why I still adore Curtis: Part 12"
6. "Things I learned on my recent flight to Edmonton"
7. "Groovy new web radio stations I've found"
8. Invent your own topic! I might could take requests.

I have Dale's voice in my head saying "say goodnight, Heidi" so I will say "goodnight."
