Heather Anne: lookin' better than a body has a right to

Last week Abigail told me that I’d be doing NaBloPoMo in November. At some point in the last year I gave Abigail the authority to make all my decisions for me, which is kind of a tricky thing, because now I can never get the power back unless Abigail gives it back.

So, um, NaBlo it is!

I thought I should maybe warm up. Start blogging a couple of times a week to rebuild my stamina.

If I am still showing up in any of your Google Readers, well, hi! And if I’m showing up in any of your other RSS feeders, er, why aren’t you using Google Reader?

Look, I know me being here is a surprise, and everything inside you is screaming for a DTR. But really, do we have to? The last time I made out with a person it was all, “Oh, what does this mean?” And I was all, “Uh, it means I like to make out.”

Right?

We don’t have to talk about how long I’ll blog or how frequently I’ll blog, do we? We don’t have to talk about whether or not I’ve been running my fingers over the keyboard for any other blogs, right? You don’t need to know if this is forever or if I’ve ever felt like this before, do ya?

Because you really don’t want to see me hem and haw and back peddle. It’s ugly. And you like your Heather Anne cute.

Internets, can’t we sometimes just do things that feel good because they feel good?

Awesome. I knew you’d understand.

So I’ll be blogging a couple times a week to warm up for the NaBlo marathon. It’s exciting, huh? I’ve been doing yoga. I’m getting really bendy.

I’ll see you later, okay? You’re good? We’re good?

Good.

…

Psst, come here, I’ve got a secret.

…

I missed you.

Sometimes, Heather, we have a feeling and we have to do something despite that.

HeatherAnne, bendy?! What is this? I'm so confused

I'm Bloing cold turkey. Awwww yeah.

(BTW, I use Google Reader and Bloglines. Google's better, but I need to keep the Bloglines around on account of all my words are clipped there.)

Sweet. I can start obsessing over your blog again. Don't worry, I have no expectations, I'll just go with what you're able to give right now.

Missed you, too! Glad to see you're "back." :)

My God, it's about time. My poor arm was getting tired!

Welcome back!

I'm still not bendy. Maybe I'll try yoga... nah. I'm not doing NaBloPoMo so what do I need bendy for?! Nice to see you here again. :)

Ahhh...all is right in blogland again. Whew. I was getting worried for a while there.

Sometimes you cause others to have feeling that they themselves don't understand.

Ka-chow...

Posted by: Mad William | October 1, 2007 12:46 AM

I'm sure the feeling's completely mutual.

Phew! I'm glad you posted, 'cause I was seriously starting to think I'd have to send a S.W.A.T. team to your house to check for signs of life. And to make sure someone was remembering to feed Margaret.

Good to have you back--for however long you make it.

Posted by: Talena | October 1, 2007 12:49 AM

Yay! Heather's back! I just moved your blog into my inactive folder, so I claim credit for your return. :)

Posted by: Angie | October 1, 2007 01:09 AM

I'm feeling a whole insecurity thing. 'cause I get all emotionally involved, and sort of personally addicted...ya know? I think it's because I don;t make out often enough. I should look into changing that...

Here's a secret

Missed you too.

Yay! I'm so glad you're back, Heather, in whatever form that takes. My days will be that much cheerier for having a dose of your Georgia sunshine.

Huzzah!

Also, Abs is really smart, so when she says clever things like that you should do NaBloPoMo, I'm glad that you listen. Yay Abigail!

Thanks for making my day (and many others' I'm sure!). Hope the well-earned break was invigorating.

And have a GREAT Tuesday.
