July 11, 2005 8:41 AM- closed for the season

Due to the the fact that I currently have very infrequent means to share the duck egg that is my life in all of its blessed, inconsequential frippery, bluepoppy will be closed down until further notice.

I will, however, continue to visit all of you. And, with any luck, I may have things to share come September. I wish I could tell you I was on the hunt for a good divorce lawyer, but of course I would be joking. People who are building their dream house have no need of divorce lawyers, right? It's all peaches and cream, pate and champagne during a house building process. No stress. No conflict. Just light and laughter echoing over the hills . . .

If I can post pics, I will--- but otherwise-- see you in September, baby.

Gros bisous.

MARRIAGE COUNSELING UPDATE: an enormous bouquet of long-stemmed, red velvet roses has been delivered to my office (accompanied by a most poetic note) and now sit in the "relationship corner" of my office where they exude much beauty and love. Thus, Henry and Ollie have lost a houseguest and now have the doghouse back to themselves.

got 2 cents?

Weeping and sobbing...please don't be gone long! But I hope you do get some peace from being away and that things settle as you get closer to finishing your house. A big HUG for BP :)

Aye, our BP knows that absence makes the heart grow fonder - even in blogville. We'll miss you, indeed, but fairyblogmothers are magic - they alight at just the right times. and I've heard stories of crazy people who not only plan to be married but BUILD A HOUSE as well - all at the same time - and I really don't know how anyone could make decisions about cabinet knobs and reception centerpieces and prepare for living with a MAN - oh dear!! much love to you, dearest BP. We'll be waiting anxiously, and refreshing this page often.

(sniff)...I'm okay...just let me...(sniff)...absorb this a moment...I...(sniff)...I hope you have a...(sniff)...great summer...no...really...(sniff)...I do... WHAT?!?! NO BP FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER?! Damn, woman, you really know how to ruin a Monday. Enjoy your summer. What a special and fabulous time this is as you and T complete your magical, fantastical homestead. But hey, stay away from those bears, huh? Be well. Big hugs.

you do this every summer, huh? and I don't like it one bit. NOPE-- not one bit. But I love you so I'll let you get away with it. Have a wonderful time-- I'm sending my best wishes your way.

ARGH!!!! You can't do this! I'm already suffering BP withdrawal... and it's oh so very painful and I think there might be bugs crawling under my skin... the invisible but nonetheless manically twitchy kind... is there like a Bluepoppy version of a methodone clinic or something?! Infrastructure... I need infrastructure and aid and somthing to get rid of the buggity bug bugs!

And then when you do resurface the house will be built more than now and you will have stories to warm our hearts. Be good to you in the meantime.

So sad! Please take some time to rest and rejuvenate, kind of a summer hibernation, and then come back when the temperature is more suitable for dreamy thoughtful posts, okay? We'll miss you!

I am such a dork that I've been cruising by to see all the lamenting - and sighed a big sigh of relief at the marriage counseling update. I didn't see how you could possibly divorce the 'god of sex', anyway. But good move, T.

You did this last year. No fair!! Will you change your mind if we stomp and pout? What if we wail and cry? Still not? Damn, well, I guess we'll just have to wish you a great summer. And yes, please do post some pics. Take good care and enjoy.

Joining Stephanie there with the alcoholic business...nothing but lots of red wine and no blue poppy. Definitely let him out of the dog house because the two of you give me hope. Have a Glorious summer.

BPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. AIEEEEE. Actually, I don't know why I am wailing like the disconsolate toddler that I still am (or, retain in my inner self). These days, the time fucking zooms by and I'm sure it will be September before I feel I've blinked twice! Will still miss your writing and your posts, though. :)

Also, XOXO on the house-building marital stress. I can totally relate. It does get better. It WILL pass. Hang in there.

Awwwww!! My dearest BP, I haven't checked your blog and ages and when I finally have the time to do so... I am greeted with a Closed sign! What's up with that, missy? I will surely miss you, as I have missed you since I've been away. Be good to yourself, my dear. Can't wait until we meet again. Smooches!!
