I don't want to, but I have to

I got hit really hard with the blog spam last night. My inbox was flooded and I've spend a craptacular morning deleting all of it. As much as I don't want to, I am going to have to start moderating comments...which is really going to stink over the holidays but I will be logging on and doing some blogging (with a glass of wine in my hand...you don't mind, right?)...gotta stay sane during my least favorite season of the year (sorry, but that's the truth...I just like normal routine...and the Christmas songs are driving me nuts!). So if you post something I'll try to get it up very quickly.

I really hope that this won't discourage people from posting comments. I'll only be deleting  totally inappropriate (or in my world AKA "gross") comments (have only had to delete one so far for that reason) and spam. This will just make it easier for me because I won't have to wade through hundreds (literally...no joke) of spam e-mails and remove each of them.

If you happen to see any spam posts that I missed, feel free to let me know what post title it's attached to and I'll get rid of it.

I guess that I am just a little sad that it's come to this (am I being dramatic or what?). I actually like the real-time nature of blogging and commenting. Maybe we can go back to that sometime.
