I'm actually kind of a mess about this, but I think it is for the best. The whole haloscan issue changed the history of this blog irrevocably anyway. I have decided not to delete this blog, though. I want it here for me, if for no other reason. There are things that I said, and ways that I said them, that really capture the spirit of who I was and what I was doing at the time, even if I don't have the benefit of your gracious and caring (and sometimes challenging) comments anymore. In particular, strange as it may seem, I'm especially sad to leave the December 2004 saga that chronicled the pain I felt, and the support you gave, during that painful time when my husband was in China and I learned that marriage was in serious trouble. Those were the 3 or 4 worst months of my life by far, and you were there with me to help me process and to lift me up. (I kind of want to link back to that first post, but without the comments it really sounds more pathetic than it was. That post alone had something like 50 comments.) I could talk to you in a way that I couldn't talk to other people. I could share details, and intense emotion, and process out loud. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had all of you during that period. I feel similarly sentimental about my early days of motherhood and your interest in and support for my new family.
I'm in mourning leaving AAYOR, but I'm hoping to take the best parts with me to a new place. This is in keeping with my hopes for 2010 and beyond: finding and embracing the me that I am now while still honoring the earlier versions of myself. (That sounds less schizophrenic in my head than it does on screen.)

And for your investment in AAYOR, and in my life, thank you.

I'm glad you'll still be blogging even if it's not here as AAYOR! I wasn't around in 2004, but I've been here since you got pregnant with Bug, at least!
I'm so glad you left a link! When I read the subject line I was worried! (Not that I don't keep track of you on Fb, but Fb isn't the same as blogging at all.)
Good luck with the move, and I'll see you over there!
(Off I go to update my bloglines.....)
I found your Twitter request before I checked my feed reader, and was all like, okay, but who IS that?
(Yeah. Not being a doofus is my resolution for 2010.)
So glad you're going to keep on blogging!
i'd follow you to the ends of the earth.
AAYOR has been great! Reading your posts and interacting with the fellow-readers have been wonderful! I admire both the older and the newer version of you! Enjoy whatever you do!
