Ahhh… life after a public apology. I feel like I could sleep for a week. First off, I need to extend a huge thank-you hug to ALL of you. If you had any negative, grumbling thoughts, you kept them to yourself. Bless you. The kindness wore me out as it was. Meanness might have done me in. Second, I hope you’ll believe me that this wasn’t just some sort of attention-getting gimmick. I genuinely meant …

But it’s a good kind of worn out. And while I’m completely overwhelmed by all the insights you shared, questions you asked and issues you raised, I feel blessed. As is very apparent by your comments, many of you …
let’s talk politics
You’d think I’d have learned my lesson. Certain blog topics have not been kind to me–panties, politics, pygmy goats. Okay, so I’ve never had any negative feedback about pygmy goats. I have been attacked by them though. I’ve sworn off talking about undergarments for the next five years (at least!), and I’ve shied away from talking politics ever since the election.
