*tap tap* Is this thing on?
This is what happens when a girl updates her Facebook profile. I said I was going to dip my toes back in, so here I am rolling up my pant legs. A woman of her word!
If I’m going to do this, though, it’s going to be different, so let’s get that out of the way. I mean, it’s still gonna be me running my mouth. About womanhood, relationships, life. But now I’m old and my estrogen patch makes me feisty. I don’t suffer the fool. Comments are subject to approval. Unapologetically.
There’s going to be political commentary from time to time. The world is on fire. I’ll have something to say about it. I used to be so afraid of how much I didn’t know, but I see that’s not stopping a whole lot of folk these days. And if you can’t beat ‘em. All I’m saying is, if you have a strong attachment to a certain color hat, we aren’t going to see eye-to-eye. Let’s be okay with that.
I’ll be leaving my kids out of this mess. They’re amazing little humans who have every right to go about in the world without their mom posting embarrassing shit about them. I’ve taken down the older posts about them, too, not that you wouldn’t be able to find them if you really wanted to.
Oh, also? I write poetry now. I guess I missed that part during my teen years so we’re getting it out now.
Some big pieces of me got lost when I stopped expressing myself. So I’m invested in seeing if I can get some of that back, and along the way, entertain y’all. It’s going to take some work to get things updated and working again. So hang tight. Good things to come.
P.S. I upped the font size. I got you.
YAAAAYYYY!!!
Yay!! You have been missed! Can’t wait!
I’ve been reading this blog since what feels like the beginning. I hope your life is full of great things and I can’t wait to read about it!
Welcome back. It was good to be a witness to your post back in the day when we were in a different point in our lives, and I’m glad you’re back when we both have estrogen patches.
I mean, it’s a whole thing, isn’t it? Let’s make some quiet rage not so quiet, shall we?
Hells yeah welcome back. I miss the old school blog world.
Excited you are back and cant wait to hear your opinions about all things
Welcome back! You’re older and wiser; we’re older and wiser; everyone’s older and wiser (well, maybe).
OMG YAAAAASSSS!!!! Welcome back!!!!
Fantastic! It’s like a wish that I forgot to make came true anyway. Looking forward to your words to come!
Happy to see your face and read your writing again. We’re all happy to welcome you back with open fins!
Yay! Welcome back. ‘Bout time. And appreciate the larger font!
Progressives only do so much.
I finally caved, just last night, and made the font bigger on my phone and then was immediately wondering why I waited this long ????????????????????????. I lived and breathed by your blog back in the day, and cannot wait to see what comes with age, wisdom, estrogen and healthy rage! Excited to be back on the journey!
I would be mortified to let anyone see the font size on my kindle.
This is the happiest I’ve been since I found out tRUMP was diagnosed with cankles
The snort I just snorted.
Uh, oh! ????
So glad I saw a link to this post on my FB feed (of all places). I followed your blog a lifetime ago and am so happy to see you back. Not sure how to follow you now and not miss an update, I’ve lost touch with the blog world!
Welcome back. I followed long before you met your bicycle and had kids etc. Now my children are adults, I’ve got bifocals, and my estrogen patch saved my marriage because I was ready to commit homicide over breathing sounds. I’m still mad, but more controlled rage.
Thanks for making the font bigger.
OMG. The breathing.
I am so glad you’re back! I was a daily reader back in the day. Now I’m with you on kids, Stephen patches, and evidently progressives.
I’ll be sure to check in more, on my actual computer. Even with the font upped, it’s better on a screen. It’s an old lady thing.
OMG. Autocorrect is the worst. ESTROGEN patches. No Stephen’s here.
Man, I didn’t realize how much I needed your voice back!
Made my day / week / month / year to see this in my Feedly. HI!
So excited to see you back. Your ability to put into words what so many of us women are feeling is therapy to the soul. I hope you know that. I hope the family is well and that Sir Hal lived a long loving life. I completely respect the no kids pics, I am the same, but if you still have pets, we would love a fuzzy child pic now and then.
