Flapper's Folly

Okay. It's true my last entry here was in January 2005. Over a year; fourteen months to be exact. So why write now? I still read lots of blogs and I began to notice that many were celebrating anniversaries. Two, three, even four years blogging and I realized I had passed the milestone of not blogging for a year.

During this time the Puter Ho urged me to get back to it, but there seemed so many reasons not to. There was a point when I felt that continuing with the current administration in office would only drive me to drink or at least develop an ulcer. Words just could not, cannot, express my disgust. So, there was that. Then this other thing happened. Last May, almost a year ago, I became a grandma. Yep. I would like to say an obscenely young one, but actually it's perfect. I'm not too young, my daughter isn't too young, but I am young enough to be around a long time and hopefully play with my great grandchildren some day. There was also painting and redecorating the house. Falling on a watermelon and painfully bruising my ribs (NO, the watermelon didn't bust :P ) A host of other obstacles have stood between me and a return to blogging.

Then a few days ago my husband was looking at the stats of several sites he is part of and found that my little blog was still getting quite a bit of traffic. And not just spiders and crawlers and such. Folks are still linking to bits and pieces. I guess I felt that once I did it, it was gone. So with the Puter Ho beginning a new web venture, I'm determined to take a moment now and then and share my thoughts, experiences, and observations. And I promise not too many pics of our dear little Madeline.
