Ummmm, BUSY. Yeah, That’s It.

Dear Internets,

Okay, I admit it. I haven’t been posting on my blog as faithfully as I could these past few weeks. I have not been keeping up with Twitter. And I haven’t been keeping on top of my email recently.

Yes, I know it is true. I cannot deny it.

I could give you some big old song and dance about That Baby or Things That Must Be Done or Life In General, and some of it might even be true. But that would be lying, to you and to myself. And really, Internets? I love you too much to lie to you.

So I am going to come clean. I am going to tell you the truth. I am going to be honest.

I’ve been cheating on you.

Yes, it is true. I have not been faithful. I know it hurts, but I would rather you hear it from me than from Elsewhere. I want you to know the TRUTH, dear Internets.

There’s someone else in my heart right now.

It’s knitting.

I know. I am sorry. But I found That Site out there when you were not looking, and I cannot seem to stay away. I am the first to admit, I am a bit obsessed. I can’t help it. It’s just so… INTERESTING.

Oh, come on, Internets. Sure, I used to cruise you for information and entertainment, but lately? We both been feeling a little bored with each other. And so I strayed. I am human.

But this knitting site, it makes me happy. It gives me patterns. FOR FREE. There are tips and advice. There are groups of all kinds to join with people who share my interest. THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS.

Don’t look at me that way, Internets! I am a stay at home mom! I LIKE conversations! And, let’s be honest. They flashed their free patterns — FREE! — at me, and I didn’t stand a chance.

Plus, where else can I indulge my need to knit for charity and my love of Doctor Who? ALL IN ONE PLACE?

Face it, Internets. It was FATE.

I will always still love you, Internets. And I don’t want to leave you. But I feel we should make a change. Make our relationship more OPEN. I don’t want to sneak around behind your back anymore. I respect you too much. You will always be my first love. But I need MORE.

I will be here, but if I am gone for awhile? It’s because I am THERE. Don’t take it personally. I’ll be back… Just don’t wait up for me, okay? I have a few projects in my queue now, some squares and a hat and a blanket. And the discussion about the Eleventh Doctor is just heating up.

See you soon,
CinnamonOpus

P.S. I’ve been seeing other blogs, too. But maybe now is not the time to bring that up.

P.P.S. I’d come back to you, Internets, for more of this:
