Oh hey there. I used to have a blog. I wrote almost every day.
Then I started working for myself, and the blogging fell off a bit. What used to be a much-needed escape became just another hobby.
I posted about getting engaged and planning my wedding. Then I went on my honeymoon, came home, blogged about half of the trip, and disappeared for over a year. Sorry about that.
I’ve missed writing. I’ve missed having a space where I share thoughts and memories (even if it’s just with myself years later when I look back on old posts). So I brought the blog back to life.
You may have noticed that the name changed. In fact, if you didn’t, I’m not sure how you are here because the URL is completely different. When I started my blog back in 2011, I thought about my blog’s name for about five minutes, came up with something I thought was clever (bye bye, bitters – because I used to be kind of bitter in a way and now I’m not!), and went to town. Very quickly, I realized the name didn’t quite work. A few people asked me if the site was about overcoming alcoholism because they thought I was saying goodbye to bitters. I started to cringe when I told people the site name because it always necessitated an explanation. This isn’t the reason I stopped writing, but it was something I immediately wanted to change when I started up again.
New name: my name. No back-story necessary.
I moved 95% of the old posts over to this site and spent a month or so fixing links and moving pictures so everything is hosted here. If you dig back through the archives, there’s bound to be something that didn’t quite transfer properly. Just let me know.
I have no grand plans for what to do with this site now, I just wanted to jump back in. Here goes.
