Oh, hai!
It’s that Loralee person that used to write here all the time.
Member her?
Whew…it’s kinda dusty in here isn’t it?
Hope y’all pardon the mess.
I’ve been gone from this place for 3 whole months and IT IS SO FREAKING GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN! I cannot believe the sweet emails, tweets, wall posts and mentions that so many of you kept sending me during my time out. I am so sorry if I did not reply. I was trying so hard to take a solid and clean break to sort out all the things that resulted in me leaving.
Speaking of that…
I’m sorry I left you poor things staring at that totally depressing photo of me with pigtailed bedhead but things had been building up for quite awhile. But really, I don’t want my first post back to be about that. I’m sure I’ll write about the reasons I shut down and the pros and cons of being gone for so long but I need some distance and perspective before I do that.
So why don’t we leave it at this for now?
It sucked. I cried. And then I (finally) moved on.
And now I’m back.
And I’m good.
I’m really good.
And I hope you are as well.
:)
I have to say that there were times of intense boredom without the chatter of the Internet in my life. But times like that are what having an adorable 2-year-old pat of butter and a theater kit full of hair extensions is for.
It just about KILLED ME that Butterlump turned TWO without me being online to talk to everyone about it. And staying quiet during The Royal Wedding. And Arnold’s love child. And Oprah retiring and starting her own network (I totally felt she should have sung a rousing rendition of On My OWN. (Get it?) (I know, you totally missed my hilarity, admit it!). And Weiner-Gate. And The Great Mormon Fest of 2011 (Which includes Romney and Huntsman announcing for the Presidency, The Book of Mormon Musical and the fact that The Mormon Tabernacle choir finally did a flash mob.) And when Bin Laden was finally purged from the earth. (I DID hang out online the night the news broke with an enjoyable lot of lads (and lasses) that were just as glad of that fact as I was.).
I’ll update you on my kiddies in another post, though. Because this post is already going to be so freaking long that I damn well might kill off any of the readers I have left when they try to wade through it all! I thought for my first post back I could just catch you up on some of the tons of things that have been going on with me and then let it sit for a bit as I ease back into online life.
Let’s get some of the icky stuff out of the way and then we can go on to the good things, shall we?
Stumble it!
