Hello Old Friend

It’s been a long time and I’ve missed you.  I’ve been busy with work, life,  fundraiser planning (for Sip and Tuck), mom, yard, house etc.  I’ve wanted to come back several times, but I’ve not had much spare time. On top of that, I had the realization over the weekend that one of the reasons why I’d been avoiding you was I’ve been trained by Facebook and Twitter to think in 140 characters or less and Wanderingbella’s known for her verbosity.  I had fear that if I did not compose perfect, clever and lengthy posts, I’d somehow be doing something wrong.    But now I realize that I can come here and blog quasi-Facebook style. I think any shred of talent I may have in amusing readers lies there anyway – I’m better in short than long.  Plus I’ve jettisoned some emotional baggage, uncommitted from a few things that were becoming burdens and want to be here more often anyway. So stay tuned for brevity on all things – topics front of mind these days are doggies, gardens, home improvement, working out, and vacations.
