i remember the day mom and i were painting my porch swing and i told her "i think i'm done blogging"...i didn't think i really meant it but obviously i didn't come back.  then, whenever i would sit down to do a post it seemed very daunting...today, i was talking to my mother on the phone and she said "your dad's mad that you aren't blogging anymore"...well, i can't have my dad mad at me....so i'm back.  i've missed you.
