it is weird to think that i have been
coming to this page
for 12 years now.

my blog is almost a teenager.

and i feel like i have been a neglectful blog-mom...
i pop in here religiously for a month
and then i go on a bender of absence for 2 months...
i have good intentions
but i can't seem to get to the page...
i blame it on winter
which sucks
the ever-living-life-blood straight out of my
dried withered up veins...
the end of winter always kills me
and takes away my ability
to want to do anything
other than
wear pajamas
and cocoon myself in heavy blankets...

BUT IT'S SPRING NOW!
and temperatures are almost in double digits
and the days are getting longer
and i can feel myself becoming
more like
myself again....

so...happy birthday, little blog...
i wrote so much about you last year,
there's really not that much to say this year...
i'll save the sappiness for next year,
when you are a sullen sulky moody teenager
like any good blog-mom would.
(and again, if you are reading this,
thanks for coming by...it's totally not necessary
but very much appreciated!)
