January 4th and here I am. I resolved that in 2010 I would get back to blogging. It took me a few days but I've been elbow deep in barf for 8 days so you'll excuse me for being late.
I'm Sara. I used to get paid to write a blog. I wrote religiously, everyday for 4 years - although let's face it some were crap. Getting paid to write a blog was interesting - first, they wanted me to 'appear' slightly younger than I am, so I am now the only 40 year-old who commonly refers to people as dude. Secondly, when you write a blog on a website (or in my case 7) that are owned by a publicly traded company - you can't swear...and well FUCK that was hard for me. Sorry Moo Moo (my granny). She used to claim I was still single because I have a mouth like a trucker...she's probably fucking right. Okay that's out of my system for now.
About two and a half years ago, I decided to have a baby. This was a challenge because a. my ninety year old step grandfather was getting laid more than me and b. I was used to being alone and the idea of never being alone again was quite daunting. Now, I'm the mother of a 17 month old and yes, the old man is still getting way more action than me and I'm still coping with never being alone. Suffice it to say, this journey put a kaybosh on my WTF blog. I wasn't getting into the crazy shenanigans like I did in my former life and I also couldn't quite lie about being 25 anymore. So I stopped. And I missed it. And thanks to encouragement from friends and some **cough cough** former readers - I'm back.
Here are my rules - I hardly have time to wash my hair let alone do grammar checks so deal with it. I'm going to flip flop between now and the last two years. For the faithful WTFers, I said I'm pregnant - then here is the baby - then I was gone. I'd love to fill you in on the past couple of ridiculous years and also keep track of the next few. Someday, these posts will be a diary for Will - so let me apologize now kid, because I will continue to be honest, and divulge the secrets of my life (and yours) and yes, i will swear like a trucker.
(I may also ask for tips on how to format these things??? Man no more pay check and no more IT help desk!)

ReplyDeleteI loved your WTF blog. Will continue to follow your blog now that you are back in the "real world". From one single mom to another, it will be fun to relive some of the experiences. You wil get thru it. My son is now 19, don't know how that happened so fast but enjoy it while you can, potty mouth and all!
Yayyy. My favourite blogger is back, thank you. I don't recall ever saying 'be younger than you are', but rather, 'the target audience is 18-34', but none of that matters now. Your charm on the blog and anywhere you communicate is that you are you and it doesn't get better than that, 'cept for maybe you plus Will. Welcome back.
ReplyDeletemarriage has made you even more of a softie...thanks boss.
