I've been a blogger for many, many years. I can recall a time when I blogged with total abandon, writing about anything and everything and enjoying a loyal following of other fellow bloggers.
Those were the days. A bunch of nonsensical fun. Each blogger writing in a style unique to them. The variety was like my own personal smorgasboard where I could feast my eyes on whatever written diet of words I desired on any given day. Or I could gorge myself on ALL the varieties at once. Manna from heaven!
Lately it seems I've lost my muse. So I search. I read. I visit other bloggers seeking inspiration. While I haven't quite found where my muse is hiding, I have found some fascinating individuals who rekindle my love for writing and stir the smoldering embers of writing with abandon. Take Annah for example, at When Red Means Go.
She's a little risque, totally off the wall, but I completely get her sense of humor! She's blogging her way to "famosity" and makes no bones about it. I do, however, think the whole "eating kittens" part is a bit of a sham, but shhhh, we won't mention that! I laugh at the thought even as I hide my "kittens" from her keen eye. (Forgive me Annah, I tried to email you for permission but this crazy system wouldn't allow me...grrr)
And then there's Geri, a military wife and mom to two kids. Her life is never dull as she dances dangerously with her cats, takes on the principal and coaches like a bulldog and waits anxiously for her husband to be deployed. There's never a dull moment around her house! You can visit Geri at

I'd like to find my sense of "abandon" again. As I tumble in and out of one blog after another I feel I should bring a gymnasts mat. Sometimes I laugh so hard I fall to the floor. Other times a post is so outrageous it makes me swoon. Never, however, am I ever bored!

I'm not Erma Bombeck and I know as you read this, you're sitting in stunned disbelief. It's true though. Sure, we have many qualities in common. Our quirky sense of humor, our flair for writing, our disastrous and sometimes not so disastrous encounters with day to day life. We even sport a similar hairstyle and hair color!
