Rebirth

No, I'm not crazy about the new template, either, but the damn Blogger bar wouldn't get out of the way on the old one. I tried posting on message boards to find out how to fix it. I tried emailing the good people at Blogger. No dice. So I just bombed it out and started from scratch.

Besides, this is a new era in my blogging. As you can see from my archives, I've been keeping this blog on and off for almost three years. I have a tendency to overshare as well as overthink. So I had to consider how I wanted to balance my tendency to vent and pour my heart out with both my husband's privacy and mine in this ultimately public forum.

See, my M is a very private person, easily one of the most private I know -- hence why I don't ever call him by his real name or post pictures of him. The nature of my work, however, puts me in the public eye, and as mentioned, I do tend to let it all hang out. But I live with M, so I need to keep him happy. And respect my own privacy, too.

So I'm back. I will be talking about the happenings at Casa Christine and elsewhere, but I need to keep control over how much I share. After all, this ain't the three-dimensional world, as mentioned. There are offline friends, who I do share with, and there are online friends, where there has to be a ceiling. Some of my online friends have become my offline friends, like Jody of Big Dump Truck and Miss Butterstar. But when anyone's a Google search away from finding my angst, I gotta be careful. And to my fellow bloggers, be careful, too.

So that's really all I have to say for now. Just wanted to let you know that I am back in the hizzy. Carry on.
