Is this still here?

And can I still use it? Funny the previous stuff (from three years ago, ahem) is kind of good... if by "kind of" I mean by comparing it to other stuff out there to read. It says of my 6 prior posts I had something like 395 views... more than my previous tomes ever received and I was a lot more diligent with writing there, as was my mother in reading each and every post. And commenting. So update. What's been up in the world according to Gidge. Two weddings and thankfully no baby, unless you count a three year old bouncing chihuahua. And luckily, the funerals are far enough down the line as to not be more than a blip of sadness. Wedding one... Me! Finally found the right bridal sundress for an afternoon backyard BBQ with all the required F&F. Small and intimate. Loved it. It was perfect. From the water guns to the meltdowns. Hottest afternoon in the Draper sunshine but the revelry complete. And now I am a wife, and still am. He hasn't gotten a chipper yet. Wedding two... My daughter. I am now officially an empty nester, although the nest has been pretty much empty for the last 3 years. The event, huge. Again hottest day of the year in the Mercer Island sun. Again, all the important F&F's in my life were present...and an additional 130 folks who were somehow associated with the groom. Luckily (?), I did not get to meet them as I was the official wallet, planner, caterer, clean-up and MOTB. At least I had a perfect dress for the occasion. But the shoes...oh the shoes. Now almost two months later, I still support the bruises under my 4th toenail. (TMI I think.) I have to say again, once I was able to relax after the event, revelry was complete. And I am a mother in law. And to date no announcements of impending grandmother status change. thankfully. So three-ish years have passed with events. Mundane and not so. but at this juncture best to admit the passing of time and move on. And start fresh. I'd like to say I'm 5'7" but yeah I am definitely under tall. So let's chat.
