About Me

My photo
On the planet since 1973. Living in sin with M since 1997 and honestly since 2002. Failing at baby-making since 2005. And whining about it here since 2008. Come on in and sit a spell. This train wreck never seems to end.

Errr, I lied

Please don't hate me, but I think I want to continue posting here. It seems reigning in some control by going private wasn't really what I needed (which is obvious with the one lone intro post that I wrote on the private blog nearly 2 months ago). I guess I needed a break from the blogosphere for awhile, to catch my breath, and to just "be".

I'm sorry I have missed so much of what is happening with everyone. I know there are always so many ups and downs to be found in this community on any given day and I'm sorry I haven't been around. I am hoping to dig myself out from under the mounds of posts logged in my google reader in the days/weeks to come. I hope you will have me back.

Because I have been a bit hasty with my actions lately (going private and shutting this blog down, taking a break from blogging at Fertility Authority, deactivating my Facebook account...) I have set up a private blogger blog, just in case. I'm not really sure how much it will get used, but I did move 4 of my old posts there...stuff that I would worry might hurt an IRL person's feelings if they ever happened to stumble on my ramblings...basically stuff that made me feel like an asshole.

If I do happen to post something privately, I will make a post here that will look something like this. If you sent me an email to follow Shades of Grey, I will add you to the list for this one too.

I think Shades of Grey has met it's demise as No Regrets just really feels more comfortable to me. If I could move my lonely old post from there to here I would, but it seems you can export Blogger to WordPress, but not vice versa.

Ahhhhh, it feels good to be home.

p.s. Ugh! My "word verification" word somehow got stuck to the first word in my last comment. =)

I'm not trying to speak Vulcan or anything. =)

Oh, yeah! I'm glad you are back but definitely don't want you to feel rushed into coming back for us. This space is for YOU!

I'm so happy to see that you might be posting again soon though. We've missed you!

Flying Monkeys said...

I'm glad your back! I got excited when I it came up on my reader. Dork=me.
You have to do what is comfortable for you and if that is deactivating for a while then so be it. This is your journey and you have to walk in a stride that is comfortable to you. Lots of love!!

Welcome back Brenda!

I'm so glad you're posting here again. I wanted to sign up for your private blog, but I need to set up a more "generic" email account first and my lazy ass has not gotten around to it. I'm relieved to know I only missed one post.

You really have been missed.

B and D said...

Yea! I'm glad you're back. Although I tried testing the link for the new private blog and I couldn't log in? Maybe you're still moving people over or is there somehting different with Blogger vs. Wordpress?

Regardless, I am happy that you are back online! Hugs to you!!

I am so glad you are back! I didn't follow you privately bc I wasn't sure who you wanted along on your journey. Hopefully you will have no regrets about going public!

Brenna said...

I'm so, so happy to see your post. I've missed your voice! So glad you're back.

Liz said...

Phew, I thought my reader hadn't set up properly for your new digs. Welcome back to the old.

Me said...

I got goosebumps when I saw you had a post in my Reader. And I swear it's not just the Lupron talking. :) I've missed you B.

Hope you're doing ok.

Sue said...

I too left you up on my blogroll so it was nice to see a post from you. I'm glad you are back.

Melanie Routhier said...

Good to see your back!! Sometimes a change is need to make you realize how much you like the original. :)

Phoebe said...

I'm glad I didn't take you off my google reader! I so understand needing a break. BTW, I owe you an e-mail. So sorry - I've been a tad busy!

Lisa said...

I read the first comment and thought, "What she said."

Then I read the second (third) comment and thought, "What she said, too!"

Then I read the third (fourth) comment and thought, "What she said!" - at which point, I thought, ok, so we all miss you for very valid reasons and we're all happy that you're back! I'm not going to try to improve on what has already been said. I am only posting to cast an affirmative vote with the populous.

Lorraine said...

I actually love the idea that your story will keep going, in one place. Of course, I'd read it no matter where it gets posted!

Welcome back!

Momasita said...

So glad to see you posting again!

Shelby said...

Fantastic to see you here! It's weird how blogging works and where we feel most comfortable. As always, whenever you drop by, we'll be here!

sara said...

Oh my goodness...I'm so glad you're back! I missed you.

filoli said...

I have never been so grateful that someone lied to me. I can not stop thinking about you lately. I think I will be back in your neck of the woods a couple of times later this month.

Claudia said...

YOU'RE HERE!!!!

I had no idea you were back (I changed my link for you to shades of grey, so I didn't have this link on my blog) but I was reading Davila's blog and saw an update...

I've been so much missing reading you, B! Can't wait to read more - have I said how happy I am that you are back? Well i AM!!

Claudia said...

Oh, and by the way, YES PLEASE to a photo of you in the liminal state T-shirt :)

That would make three photos - does that make us a bobsled team? Or is that 2?

Lisa said...

Welcome back home, Brenda!

Blogland missed you.

Anna said...

Ahhhhh Brenda!!

Welcome Back! I've missed you tremendously.
Just returned home, and as usual checking this blog, (whenever i get the chance)-- yes, I've always been silently hoping you'd return--though I never expected it.

I still pray for you and DH almost daily. I hope you guys are doing well or as well as one can.
Soooooo happy to 'see' you back. Things just weren't the same without you.

Wishing you all the best,
till later
Anna

Lisa said...

No lies told, just a change of mind. You're allowed. :)

Tara said...

Welcome home!!! I've missed you.

Suzanne said...

Here you are!! I'm so glad you came back - Shades of Grey didn't feel right to me either. Now, I have to get caught up on your posts!!

Welcome Home! We missed you!
