It's been a long time since I've posted here, and even longer since I posted with any regularity. I think it fell off when I returned to work from maternity leave, and then even more so when I got some new bosses about a year and a half ago.
And then I started cheating on the blog by posting to Facebook, and a little bit to twitter. There's something very satisfying about boiling a story down to just a sentence or two.
Part of me wanted to link those accounts with this blog. But those accounts were all tied up to my professional life. And then I wondered about coming out of the personal blog closet and promoting this blog to those people who were my Facebook people and knew me from work too.
All this thinking left me overwhelmed with indecision and left me in a state of inertia.
But I've wanted to get back together again with my personal blog. I've been thinking about the happy times we've had together. But I know we have to take our relationship in a new direction. And perhaps to a new domain. Maybe one of these days I will even get over the inertia. I will suddenly know what to do about the facebook connection, for example.
I will also clear out my blog reader, which has something like 20 different tabs for 20 different topics from infertility to parenting to breastfeeding to technology to news to the end of news organizations to cooking to a bunch of other stuff that seemed like a good idea at the time but is largely irrelevant now.
There is so much to say that I have not said. My boys are 4 and 2 now. The youngest was weaned after extended breastfeeding with nary a whimper of June 1. There are also stories I've never told. And then there are those pesky midlife crisis feelings I have. And when I say "midlife crisis" I mean "personal renaissance."
So I guess what I'm saying is, blog, I'd like to try to win you back, if you'll have me.
I'll gladly have you back. Very happy to hear from you!
