You're alive and well!! Hooray, hooray, hooray! This was always one of my favorite blogs. :-)
*ahem*
I mean, welcome back.
*happy dance*
Yeah! Welcome back. Missed your posts.
Oh thank goodness! Glad to have you back. Now I can stop speculating. (Well, no, I can't, not really, but at least I'll be distracted by shiny new blog posts...)

YAY!

Woot! So glad you're back!
Thank you for this!
I'll be back in January.
Persistence in the face of ridiculous odds is clearly one of the shared characteristics of this gang. Months of silence--and still at least 8 of us checked this blog today! May all of our other unlikely ventures pan out so well in the coming year!
Welcome back, and have a fun New Years!
I couldn't bring myself to delete you from my favorites...so glad that you're coming back! Even my non-writing DH was a faithful reader--and yes, he's delighted too.
Welcome back, EA.
Welcome back to the blogging world! I always enjoy your posts and am looking forward to more in the new year.
So glad you are back -- I've missed this blog!
Happy, happy!
Welcome back.

Yay! Now it really will be a happy new year!
Good Lord, I thought we were done for. Welcome back.
Hurrah!!!
