Very Cool things about Blogging

So it’s kind of hard to just pick up the pieces of my life and start blogging again without any explanation what-so-ever of where I’ve been and why I’ve been gone but that is exactly what I am planning on doing right now.   Suffice it to say, it’s not that my life has been so kick-in-the-gut-god-awful-bad or that I have totally lost interest in you and your very special life, it’s just that I didn’t really feel like re-hashing all the crappy hands I’ve been dealt lately and instead opted to sit out a few rounds.

Interestingly enough, I did learn something important about myself while I was away which felt horrible while I was in the midst of it, but I find very illuminating looking back on it now.  So you probably are dying to know what it is now, huh?  Okay..okay…here goes…

I missed blogging.

Who knew?

What started out as a very private place to come vent my dieting frustrations developed into a little corner of the cyber world to share my triumphs and read about yours and in so doing keep me motivated to move ahead…er, ah,  downward….

Which now brings me to my blog for today…

1. I love being able to say what’s on my mind (and for some insane reason that I have yet to fully grasp, I have a bit of a following so to speak…unless 16,200 of you accidentally happened by my site by mistake…in which case I take that last statement back and blame the pink in my cheeks as a mild case of sunburn)
2. I am free to come and go as I please without impacting anyone ….(except my scale)
3. There are no expectations placed on me here (for better or worse)
4. This is a totally anonymous board (except for the fact that I threw a real picture of me up there and the fact that you all know me here ).
5. I can ramble on and on spouting, off my own misguided weight loss notions and should you happen to disagree with my insightful theories I can

• pretend that you don’t exist and that this place is all about me.
• Igonore you and take my keyboard and go home
• Delete any snarky responses that are posted on my blog…..

or ultimately….

• Block you from posting to me at all…how cool is that?  Okay so I have never had to do any of the last two items…but it’s cool to me knowing that I can…so um…try me…

anyway I’m back to say I missed you losers and this place…

thanks for checking on me…

Seriously!

There you are

I'm glad my smart ass friend is back!  I missed your posts.  I missed you too, but mostly your posts.  OOOH!  Are you going to delete my comment and block me?  Nah!  I hope not.  Hope to hear from you sooner this time.

Hey, you posted!

...glad to see you popped in for an update! I missed you, too. Really, I do. Write when you get a chance, ok?
