It might be wrong to be THIS excited about ICLW week. But, that's OK because I don't want to be right, if this feeling of love is so wrong. Happy ICLW week everyone! Welcome to my little place, I hope you find something interesting. If not, it's OK to fake it. I'm totally fine with that.
Last month, I did a little bit of an intro and I did the ABC's of me, as well. I'd do it again, but I don't think my simple little brain can do it with new and exciting nuggets of myself. So I'll just give ya a bit of a rundown about myself. I'm also going to link up this biotch. I had this BRIGHT idea last night and it might be fun. Lets see...
Here is my first post. Which is ALMOST a year ago! Tomorrow is my blogoversary! So excited about that. My life isn't very exciting. Except for blogging. That's my excitement and my guilty pleasure.
My mom passed away a little over 3 years ago and I ran from dealing with it until THIS year. I went to the church we had her funeral at for the first time in January. That was a tough thing to do. It did help me face reality, even though it was and still is pretty painful. Through friends and family, I've been able to get very far in this whole thing called "grieving". It is not an easy task, although it is easier when I've got so much support to help me though it.
My family means a lot to me, obviously. My dad and my sister are pretty amazing. We've always been a close family and have only gotten closer since my mom passed. My husband is pretty much my rock. He's been very patient with me and very caring. Sometimes he tends to say things that it takes me a minute to understand what he's saying, but once I think about it, the fury subsides.
At the moment, all is well in my little world. My dad is coming for a visit and he'll be spending a long weekend with us! I'm SO excited! It's been WAY too long since he's stayed for a visit.
I'm going to have to cut this short, as I'm headed out the door to go get my dad. Have fun finding new blogs and reaching out to others. Enjoy your day!

So sorry about the loss of your Mom. My sister was killed a couple of hours after turning 17 and I truly get the whole grieving thing. Somehow, someway I guess we eventually learn that life does have to go on and they are still with us. So glad you have a great Dad, sister and husband!!!!

That's a great introduction. :)
As always - a great post!
Hope your weekend is fun filled and full!
Hugs to you!
You must be SO excited to see your Dad, I hope you have a fab weekend with him.
oh and I forgot to say, if you can sneak in and steal them you can have my shoes - I wouldn't notice them missing but I don't think I can bring myself to give them away!
(this is a really disgusting fact) I have 300+ pairs in storage in Australia that I haven't seen in 5 years that I still can't bring myself to get rid of!
I love ICLW, I think it's perfectly fine to be so excited :)
Congrats on your blogoversary tomorrow! (I'm excited about this week too!)
Happy ICLW!

I love ICLW too! Have a fun weekend with your Dad!
Happy Anniversary!!!!! Woot woot!
I love the beginning of ICLW when everyone posts a little intro to their history. They always manage to add something new and I'm like, "I didn't know that!!"
Happy blogoversary! The blogoverse (I think I just made that up after compounding blogoversary and blogosphere) is a much better place with you in it...heck, the WORLD is a much better place with you in it.
Thanks for sharing so much about yourself. I get excited about ICLW too. It's always great to meet new friends online. Happy blogoversary!
I am so sorry for the loss of you mom. I'm sure she is watching over you.
Have fun with your dad this weekend! Happy ICLW!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but it sounds like you are finally finding ways to deal with it and I hope you find the emotional healing you need.

It's already your blogoversary, down in Australia!! And it's ROCKIN'. I've got the place pumpin', jammin' and slammin'.

Great intro! ICLW is such a fabulous time of the month!
Happy (almost) 1 year-blogoversary to you!
Thank you, as always, for the super sweet comments you take time to leave on my blog. I always get a little giddy when I read the notes you leave for me. :)
I'm so glad that you've received the outpouring of support that's SO needed when we're grieving. I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers on a daily basis as you remember your mom and the amazing woman that she was.
Have a happy, healthy holiday weekend! *hugs*

You seriously need to remind me abot ICLW cause I forgot to sign up - again! Sigh. Thanks for your encouraging words - you sound like a very wise Buddhist!
Happy Blogaversary Babe!
Happy blogoversary! I too got really excited and tackled a lot of my Google Reader yesterday to leave comments galore.
What a great little introduction. I love ICLW, there are so many fun people to meet.
Happy blogoversary!
I am so sorry about your mom. And so glad you have a great dad and sister.
I lost my dad last year and it is sometimes hard to remember that he is dead because they lived in England and I am in the US - so I am used to not "seeing" him regularly.
I hope you are able to work on your grief. I found that photos and talking to my relatives and getting stories about my dad really helped me.
Happy ICLW week!
Happy ICLW girl! I hope that this brings out the love in the blogland that eveyrone so desperately needs. Happy Blogoversary...that's awesome! I'm toasting a virtual mango margarita to you!!!
Happy Blogaversary! I hope you have a great visit with your dad!
ICLW
