Tootboy @ MindSay

Wow, this ^toolbar^  is looking different...

*crickets*

I am here at the behest of tootboy, who is celebrating his twelfth wedding anniversary today.

He's one of my Very Best Friends in the Whole World, so I am here on the reunion tour.  For a brief one-shot of a moment.  Probably.

I'm trying to think of what to say that might be of interest.  Things that might freak you out, maybe?  Things that would make you cheer for my kids?  A Pride and Prejudice fan fiction?  Other fan fiction? 

Hmmm?

I can say that it's been a weird year without blogging.  I relocated to Facebook where I hung out for a few months. I'm still there...I'm just not THERE there. Not as much as I was. I found myself disappearing for extensive periods of time, taking surveys and quizzes and so forth...

So I slipped out to disconnect for a while. My brain sort of needed to go all tortoise (as any passersby may remember) during the summer and it sorta...stuck.

MindSay has huge memories for me. I've met some of the COOLEST people and some AMAZING friends, here.  Generous hearts and souls that I still talk to, some I look for in other places online, and sometimes I even find y'all...

Scary, no?

It's been weird, not blogging.  I have finally stopped saying, "I've gotta blog about that."  It took more eight months for that to stop being the first impulse in my brain whenever something cool happened. On the other hand, Cyclone (numbah one son) is relieved. ;-)

***Waves madly at everyone.***
