I hate writing, I love having written.
Dorothy Parker
I’ve been here before. Countless times over the years. Only for one reason or another, writing fell to the wayside. Life had a way of getting in the way.
Over the past summer I was forced to slow down by having emergency surgery. The day of my 46th birthday, I was in the ER having a turkey sandwich, and IV cocktail.
Waiting to be admitted for abdominal surgery the following morning.
It was rather life changing.
And humbling.
I had a lot of time on my hands during recovery. So I thought about the possibilities of making a little blog again. Wondered if there was room on th internets for a middle aged, Lilly Pulitzer loving, champagne drinking, dog momma?
I mean, why not?
I have a sense of style, (sometimes). Enjoy good bourbon, (neat). I am not your average middle aged gal, (kid free and joyous about it). I am a dark oddball given my career, (forensics). I have so much to say about all the things!
I put the idea away, (again). Fall was arriving. Football, travel, the holidays. When was I going to have time? I really needed to figure some things out before I could dive in.
Fast forward to now. The time after Christmas but before the New Year.
So much possibility.
Here I am. Giving it ago.
Old school. With my double space after the end of a sentence, and my Oxford commas, I am here.
Enjoy the ride.
