Alright, even more time has passed. I’m too hooked on this whole thing to just quit. I think that’s clear. But I want to print a retraction.

I felt the whole deal of proprietary memes was silly. I still do. I think it’s ridiculous. It ticked me off to get certain language lobbed my way. But I didn’t need to lose my head, and actually spell it all out, retaliate, if you will. I believe strongly that no matter how tiny or ginormous the “offense”, Christ is about letting it go. Not letting it get under your skin in an attempt to redeem yourself. He is the redeemer. I’m just the lucky recipient. And look how mature I was?! Getting all red faced over some stupid words with women I’ll probably never meet. Here I am, undies all in a wad over someone silly silliness, while I get all offended over their undies getting in a wad…hello pot, this is the kettle calling? Yeah, we’re both black.

So long to short, I like this. And I don’t want to get in any war of the words with anyone. Or allow myself to get my chain yanked. I’d like to be a better witness than that. So I officially offer an apology, to Miss Theresa and Miss Karin, and to any that read my rant. It was childish.

I felt what I felt, and that’s OK, but I didn’t need go off. Should you continue to come here, please forgive my snap. I’ll continue to look forward to our interaction. Thanks for being a cyber friend. This is the end of this.

Most Merry Christmas, and Happy Happy Hanukkah.

miscellaneous chatter 2:08 pm

it all seems a bit silly. Yep, I ran into some stuff I find distasteful. You think you’ve matured beyond being able to be triggered like I was, and then something triggers you. I didn’t even need respond to the input I received. But in this way, I’m glad I did. A few of you sent some great clarity, support and even kind compliments, which only served to solidify why I got into this whole thing to begin with. For fun. For me. For the practice of doing something I’ve always liked to do. And during this, I’m really digging “meeting” and “talking” with interesting new women. In a season of life in which I’m often home, often alone with the children, often drowning in the stuff required to run a home and raise those children, this is a great little gift that adds perk to my day.

Since I can’t seem to figure out how to remove the comments section, I’ll leave it. Besides, I’m not sure I can go cold turkey off them! And, I’m really stuck on my Queen sketch…wild horses couldn’t drag it off my template. Again, thanks to Ellen.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Warmest Holiday Wishes.
