Coming Out & Carrying On

I went to lunch today with a friend and actually felt comfortable telling her about my blog. She's going though something that another blogger is and I found myself telling her all about reading this other woman's blog. Too funny. Then when she asked if I had my own, I couldn't fake it. Welcome to my blog, M. Hope you enjoy it.

Now there are 3 real life people that I know that know about my blog. One of them is no longer speaking to me.... long story there. Funny thing is that I know there's one more person out there that's reading, but I don't think this person knows I know s/he is reading. Ah, the complications of blogging and trying to decide how public you want to be about it.

I've also decided that I should be doing this more often. I started last year mostly because Donna was doing it. I was also in a really bad place at my job at the time. And then there was the August Happiness Challenge of 2004. It seemed like a good exercise for me. And I think I'll do it again. Care to join me?

Today

It happened – I found a name in the obits that I recognized. Mrs. H, the librarian from my high school, died on Saturday. I’m sure she retired long ago from the HS library.

The service will be tomorrow at the church I went to when I was 3 years old. I also went to the preschool and kindergarten at that church. There was a barn with peacocks and sheep. There was the shell of an old car painted bright colors that we played on like a jungle gym. We could only take our shoes off while playing outside if it was 80 degrees or hotter. Oh, and the rope swing! Good memories.
