Hello,Again!

Hello, again,
I have really loved hearing all of the sweet words of encouragement and support from everyone.  Yesterday was insane.  I’d had been set up with the first post all day long.  My man told me to post it around noon.  Yeah, could not do it.   I stared at that thing off and on all day.  Finally, my man came home, read it and asked me why I had not published it.  I told him I could not do it.  I was sitting at the foot of the bed trying to work up the courage.  He took the laptop, pushed the publish button.  Panic ensued on my part.  Lots of dirty glares and how could yous were uttered by me.  He just went off to watch tv with a smirk on his face.  He loves to see me squirm.


I sent an email to Meredith telling her that it was posted, no details mind you, just that it was done.  She replied quickly asking how was she to find the silly thing if I did not send her the link.  Yeah, that’s me, in a panic, forgetting important details.  I sent her the link and went to hide.  Yes, I hid away doing laundry and well trying to calm myself down.  It only worked until things started popping up on my laptop.  I shoved the laptop over to my man and laid down refusing to even look at the thing.  It had grown eyes and ears as far as I was concerned and I wanted no part of it.  My man told me to grow up and email Cat and Meredith back.  He reminded me I liked them, they would not bite. Oh, and to grow up.  Sheesh, he was being such a big meany, laughing at me while I curled up in the fetal position biting my nails as if the end was coming.  I blamed him for hitting publish.  He coaxed and teased me back to the laptop.  Okay, he pinched me on the bum a few times and told me to get cracking, that I could do this.  I did and all was fine and wonderful.  The nervous breakdown over and I was spent, so I headed off to bed.


This morning I was amazed at all the additional comments.  You are all wonderful.   Now, I was excited to have everyone stop by and visit, but I still need to get over my intimidation of this blogging thing.  I was encouraged to get the next blog up quickly.  I have decided to do just that.  Why?  Because I enjoy wallowing in my insecurities  while I snarf my children’s good Halloween candy and chew off the remaining of my fingernails off.  Nah, because Meredith told me to and I tend to view her as a bit of an expert in this world of blogging.  Yeah, also need to post about this whole new approach to life, but I might need a couple of pints of strawberry cheesecake ice cream and red velvet cake to get through that one as the candy rations are low and the fingernails are gone.….

P.S. I was able to push the publish button by myself this time. LOL!
