Public Statement

In an unexpected and impulsive move, I deleted my entire "My Column" blog a couple weeks ago. "I got tired of it," I told my husband. This was not entirely true (see the definition of "impulsive"). In reality, I was just tired of it that day and it seemed like a good, solid idea to erase the whole thing and maybe use the time I was spending on blogging to work against global warming, clean my toilets, play Hi-Ho! Cherry-O with my kids or do some sit-ups. But now some time has passed and I miss telling my devoted readers what I'm thinking every day. So here I am, back again - with a new resolution - I will "be myself". This means I will likely be a little over-analytical, critical, dramatic, pretty, middle-class, Christian, braggy, narrow-minded and intelligent. But I will be free to post whatever I dang well please and not worry that I don't measure up to other bloggers who shall remain nameless but seem to have really cool lives while I'm just sitting here typing on my computer and avoiding something.

To all my friends (Magan, Janice, Kim, Rachel, & Karen) who wrote and asked what I did with my blog - I adore you. To Laura, who just became a stay-at-home-mom and decided to take up blogging - you inspired me to come back! Kisses to everyone! And to all a good night.
