Look! I’m here! Or I’m back. Whatever. The point is, nobody got fired or anything and therefore no weddings were canceled during the making of this film. That’s what it would have come to, sadly enough. I mean, the “I do” part would have happened, but the way I originally intended it to happen – barefoot, a witness or two, and that’s it. After all the planning and the spreadsheet making and the hand drawn save-the-dates that I just adore, though, well, it makes a girl almost want an actual for really, real, pain-in-the-butt wedding enough to be regretful about not having one.
Also, there’s the bit where this blog is so much a part of who I am, that I’d likely have to be physically removed from under the covers after the scent of utter retchedness started seeping from the bed clothes and wafting around the apartment. Chris doesn’t have what you’d call a delicate sense of smell, but there’d be a breaking point for sure.
You guys are so stellar. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the emails and notes on Facebook. C’mere, I’ve missed you.
You’re back! I wasn’t sure if it was just my work internet nazis or some larger, web-wide nefarious plot.
Either way, glad to see you
Awwwhhhh We missed you too! Happy to have you back… so much so that you got me to make one of my very infrequent comments!
Whew!
Yay! I’d miss This Fish if you went away for good. Plus, I needed that link to your gift registry.
I’ve got to make a note now to wear my Fish t-shirt on your wedding day in solidarity. Maybe a new design would have a tandem bike?
Thank goodness your back!! Missed you too!
I thought you’d gone! Glad to have you back
So relieved you are back! And in that relief I feel a certain sense of weirdness due to the fact I missed a person I have never met…..
Pathetic request- please post a picture of your hand drawn save the dates. I love unique wedding stuff and would geek out over them.
I guess I didn’t realize just how much I look forward to reading your posts until I thought your blog had vanished. So thanks for coming back and thanks for sharing all that you do with us.
I was so sad when I clicked over and you were gone!
Did you just out the Dork Lord on here? Chris??
Yahoo!! Perhaps my hateful note to iVillage helped a little? …Well, probably not, but I was getting close to rioting. Glad you’re back!
Thank goodness you’re back! =) I was worried for a minute there…. hahaha I even told my fiance “A woman’s blog I’ve been reading for years was suddenly just GONE today and I kinda miss her!” He looked at me funny when I told him I don’t actually know you or anything… LOL It’s just that, it’s like reading a book you don’t want to put down, you wish it could just keep going. Yeah, that’s what your blog is to me.
Considering I’ve never met you, or even commented, its pathetic how much I missed your blog. I found your blog three years ago, and have been a daily reader ever since. And apparently a bit co-dependent. Its been a brutal few days at work, without my regular distraction. Facebook is blocked here, so I couldn’t get that either…so glad you are back!!
What Renee said
Yay! You’re back!
Haven’t commented for FOREVER, but SO glad you’re back.
And yeah, did you out the DL??

I’m glad you’re back..I checked a couple of times over the last few days and finally you are here.
Happy wedding planning!
glad to see you’re back! will you be archiving all your old posts now?
yay! glad your back! missed ya.. and that love and sex stuff was getting annoying to see every time i clicked to go to your blog
Am I the only one who didn’t (and still doesn’t) know why the “annoying love and sex stuff” kept coming up everytime I tried to read this blog? I was so scared fish was gone forever!
i could not believe my eyes… “please let this be just some internet mistake”, i thought. and then despite several refreshes and several google searches you were still nowhere to be found! i actually googled your name hoping to get some answers as to where you had disappeared to! i’m kind of foggy on what exactly happened (did you plan on leaving us, for real!?) but i’m glad to know that you’re back… and if for some reason you do actually have to part ways one day, please please leave us at least a tiny sappy explanation! this is most definitely my first comment…and i don’t keep up with your blog every *single* day, but i’ve been reading for years and i do enjoy your take on life.
I missed you! Every time I clicked you on my bookmarks, some skinny ass younguns with entwined body parts kept popping up. I actually emailed S Klein a “what happened to Heather Fish?” message. I felt like a stalker but was relieved to hear it was a temporary cyber thing.
Fish! I’ve missed your blog. I started reading you when I was 19. At times you’ve inspired me, made me crack up, and made me cry. I was really sad (and confused) when I went to visit and saw…the other stuff. Thank you for coming back.
Hi Fish. I am very glad you’re back and the time of uncertainty is over for us. Yay! I really missed ur blog and I felt kinda helpless all this time, and the sad thing is that I couldn’t share it with anyone to avoid funny looks directed at me
.Happy wedding planning!
Yay you’re back! I thought the gods of the interweb were punishing me for something! I was just in the middle of re- reading your archives and making dull working days oh so much better when you vanished. You’ve forced me to finally comment! Love love love your writing, please don’t leave again . . .
I’m so glad you’re back & it wasn’t a permanent thing!
Isn’t it weird that your last post was about jinxes and bad luck? I swear you must be Irish, because if you didn’t have bad luck you’d have no luck at all! Welcome back, so glad to see you.
Yeah! The blog is up again – awesome!
Have a great weekend!
Yay! You’re back! Those were a sad few days…
YAY!! I freaked out when I couldn’t find your blog. I thought my bookmark link broke and I did like valorie and started google searching. So glad to have you back, I thought something awful might have happened when I remembered the torandos were there. Glad to hear everyone is okay!

You were gone! What happened? Thank goodness you’re back!
Dear Fish — I know this is a few days late, but after being disappointed a couple of days in a row last week that you were gone, I thought I would give it a little time, and just checked today. I am sooooo happy to have you back. I am posting (for the first time) because in scanning the comments above I see Lisa referring to a link to your “gift registry”. I somehow missed that post and can not find it. You are so wonderful, I would love to get something for you and the Dork Lord. (Odd to feel genuine warmth for someone I have never met and who will never know me or anything about me, but there you are, the power of the blog and the very non-reciprocal relationship between someone who puts herself out there in cyberspace and someone who guards her privacy even in the context of anonymous media.) Maybe the link to the gift registry can be trivially tracked down on this web site, but I am somewhat computer-challenged. So, if you could, please repost the link to the registry, either here in response to my comment, in a new post (I’ll be looking for it!) or in an email to me. In any case, great to have you back!!!!!!!!!!
Teak,
You can get to it from here: http://www.griffithsquared.com/wedding
I don’t think I posted the actual link, which is why you couldn’t find it.
