Greetings Friends! What is UP???

Well. Things look a little different since I first started blogging back in 1908 or whatever. Some of the OG's will remember my first blog, Face of the Cookie. I'll admit I don't remember a lot of what was written there and it's probably for the best the whole thing is gone because who knows what 2008 me might have said that would be INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE nowadays. There was the time I equated a cold with AIDS (I WAS PUSHING BOUNDARIES DON'T YOU SEE) and then got into a blog war which resulted in someone offering to fly me to Africa and I accepted. Still waiting on those tickets.


But I digress.


I've developed a tendency lately to ruminate on past mistakes which I think is just my version of a midlife crisis. And I am HARD on myself. What I like to do is wait until right before I fall asleep and then suddenly remember every cringey thing I've ever done or said. Then I fall asleep about four or five hours later. It's great. I'm doing great.


Then there are the failed relationships (whee!), mental and physical health situations, divorce and now I'm a single mom! Things are going exactly to plan! I'm doing it again, aren't I?


Let's focus on the positive stuff:


Post divorce, I had to jump back into the work force and, as is my wont, I got a job through Twitter as a content writer for a tech company. From there, I kept rising up until this last layoff. And I know what I need to improve to succeed and am actively working towards that - mama needs a job because I really like eating.


I also really like what I do. I like learning about something technical and explaining it to an audience in the simplest of terms (acoustic imagers can see sounds! etc).


So what now? What is this blog going to be about? Will it retain the whimsical, tipsy, slightly hungover vibe of Face of the Cookie? Probably not because I don't drink anymore but the whimsy? I've got buttloads of whimsy.


I imagine this will be an amalgam of different stuff (politics, social issues, food, exercise, whining). My blog probably won't change the world but, in the past, it allowed me to make friends from all over - many of whom I still am friends with to this day (intern Megan, I'm looking at you <3333). Mostly, it helped me bring all these little dark thoughts into the light which is my version of therapy. Therapy is also my version of therapy but who can afford it in these trying times?


Let's see how this goes - if I stick with it and well...if anyone reads my words of whinedom. WISDOM. I meant wisdom.


Welcome back to FOTC! I've missed you.
