Yay for me!

One year of blogging!

A year ago, I was going quietly crazy wanting to get pregnant but not being sure I could stay at home and go through the same routine day after day. And then came the blog. Now I'm six months pregnant and I'm not sure I can stay at home and go through the same routine day after day. So much has changed.

Actually, it has - I have found so many other people who are going quietly crazy in such similar ways. And people who are in the same situation and are not going crazy and thereby show me how to cope. And people who are in completely different situations and offer me a view of a world outside of my own little world.

I've also found a love of writing and shaping a story. I have stopped watching TV almost completely. I have started to read again. I have sung the praises of mindfulness, of exercise and meditation, of gardening and even (twice) of baking. Oh, and there was the gay porn of course.

I have kept this blog pretty much separated from my "real" life - Babes, An and a couple of friends read it, but mostly you are my dark little secret. I'm wondering if I'll "come out" in my second year. Probably not. Or maybe one day I'll just post the address on Facebook. Actually, I'm pretty sure that won't happen. There's only so much dirt I want ex-colleagues and distant family members to have on me.

In honour of this anniversary I'm having a little party tonight - feel free to join me if you like. Especially if you're a lurker you could leave a comment - see it as my birthday present.

Happy anniversary to me! And thank you all of you who come and read. Thank you even more to those who have stayed to comment. You have made my year so much more exciting than I could ever have expected. So - thank you, and do please stop by again.
