I'm so embarrased
I can't believe it's been this long since I posted. I mean, it's been so long that the bookmarked link to TypePad has dropped off my history list... Shameful.
I don't come bearing excuses... only to say that I have been suffering a fierce case of Blog Fatigue. I must not be alone, because a quick Googling turns up nearly 14,000 hits. Even The New York Times has written about "Blatigue".
It's been hard to get motivated when I'm on the road as much as I've been; ironically, all the traveling has led me to some really amazing and "bloggable" meals.
So, this year, my "Birthday Resolution" is to fall in love with Gastronomie again. I'm going to start taking better care of this little corner of the web (and, by extension, myself).
Happy Birthday to me, and Happy Re-Birthday to Gastronomie!
Happy Birthday, and best wishes for a prosperous and rewarding year ahead!

Happy Birthday, neat!
Hooboy, I'm right with you. Even reading other's blogs has overtaken me. I can't keep up with the internet, it's going too fast. Wasn't it like, just last Friday or something? And today? It's Tuesday! This means tomorrow is Wednesday! Arrrrgh, it's too much!

Happy, happy birthday Fatemeh! May the coming year bring you all things wonderful. I do know what you mean about blog fatigue and travel...that's been my life, recently, too...and there's more on the horizon!

Thank you SO much, guys.
You all make me blush -- I promise not to neglect Gastronomie like this again.
I have a tantalizing Rubicon review to publish today.
Love you all!
