Blogging - no - writing has become incredibly important to me over the past 12 months or so and without all the support I've received through this amazing communication portal I would have missed out on insights, love, intelligence, opinions, strength, and humor from all of you. Which is why SITS is such a great idea and community, and I'm glad I stumbled across it several months ago.
Anyway, here are three posts I felt represented what I do here the most:
- I'm introspective to the millionth degree - Grieving is like barfing: It hurts, but hopefully you'll feel better
- I'm hilariously funny (if I do say so myself) - 2:50 pm
- And I'm constantly trying to make sense of the world I live in - Sweaty hamster
And I apologize in advance for the language. I love all words and especially profanity. I've cleaned up the three featured posts, but I can't guarantee that other posts linked therein are profanity-free as well. Nor can I guarantee any others are, as well. There's just something so pleasurable and spicy about swear words; I can't stay away!
In any case, I hope you enjoy!

Hi Jess!! Happy SITS day! :) Super happy to have found your blog!
ReplyDelete"with the exception of this summer where I've pretty much lost my mind. Apparently, I'm not alone, so that makes it feel a little less traumatic at least."
Haha, yea... you're definitely not along, right there with ya girl!!
Following your blog now, look forward to reading more from you :)
