new blog, first post.
I miss my old blog, Dancing Frog Ramblings, which semi-chronicled a few trips through South America that Anthony (husband) and I took. More than trips they were travels, I guess. In truth, I blogged like 4 times during our year abroad, and once after a trip to Brazil. Anyway, I miss it so much. This morning, while doing our breakfast routine with our 13 month old son, Amado, Anthony put on a radio station from Peru. It was a cumbia station, with the radio announcers screaming the name of the radio station (Rad-i-o Cum-bi-a Punt-o E!) over the music repeatedly. They played the one cumbia song I recognize for 47 minutes straight. Listening to it, I was transported. I was crammed onto a bus that smelled of wet wool, wedged between Anthony and the window, hurtling through the forest-and-sea-green shadowy Andes, cold grey mist seeping in through the window that I was fighting with the other nearby passengers to keep open. And I thought about my old blog, and I thought about many other things, and I thought that I have way too much on my mind these days NOT to blog. Plus my mommy friend has an awesome blog that I marvel over, and it's totally inspiring (I'm talking to you, MemoryJones!) And there is so much going on, and I don't want to forget it ever, and facebook status updates are not always appropriate for expressing and recording. So here we are.
Hi.
I promise you, zero readers, absolutely nothing. I will blog very sporadically. When I do, it will be a shitshow of bullshit. I will overuse many terms (mainly 'shitshow') and make up a few that make no sense (like 'shitshow of bullshit'). I will be self-absorbed and forget to think about the Reader. I will ramble, obvies. And after all that, I'll forget this exists. But for now, this seems good, to blog like this.
