Are you humming Willie Nelson now? You should be. I am.
I’m hitting the road tomorrow traveling to a corporate leadership class by way of NYC (oh, how I love NYC). I’m meeting a friend, then spending a week learning good things. What? You can learn good things at leadership classes, especially when you’re as a big a sucker for rah-rah as I am. Worst case, you learn that nobody should ever take that class. Am I right?
Posting this week will either be lighter or heavier than normal, not sure which. I might either be lost in the spiral of future geographic opportunities or fired up and planning my next gig. I’ll let you guess which one of those will mean more posts.
I will miss you. Really! So in the meantime, let’s have an informal delurking day to keep us all unproductive catching up on each other’s blogs. Unlike my usual posts, commenting on this one doesn’t require you to do any soul-searching or divulge anything uncomfortably honest.
All you have to do is say hello and how you found me (unless you have a better comment to make, in which case you totally should) and include your blog link.
I’ll start: Hi, I’m Marisa, and I’m still looking for me… but I found this blog by way of a marriage, divorce, engagement, blogging gig at Weddingbee, and marriage.
Wocka, wocka.
You can just say something simple like, “I Googled dramatic relationship angst and found you.” Or whatever is appropriate.
Oh..I get to be first, what fun!! Hi, I'm Jennifer, and I stalk you from your WeddingBee days. You are an amazing writer and I am constantly awed by how open and honest you are!! <3Jennifer (aka CrabCake)http://moonlightmagnolias.wordpress.com

Hi I'm Jenny, and I think you know me as Mrs Peony.

Hi Marisa! I found you through WeddingBee too! Have fun in NYC!!!

Hi! I think I came here from Weddingbee. But I stayed for the pups.

Yay!I found you one day on your wordpress blog after googling relationship advice, then on weddingbee, and then lost my bookmarks and by some fluke miracle of clicking magical links, here I am again! Hurrah!

Found your blog through Jenna's, I'm pretty sure, and I was so excited you were actively blogging elsewhere. You, Jenna & Kasia are my favorite Bees, so I'm glad to be able to keep up with you three as newlyweds (like I am). I always connected more with you because I've also been divorced and always felt like the wedding industry was not made for second-time brides. lol.

Hello! I'm Teresa and I found you through Weddingbee (tessabella76). You write the best posts!
[Reply]
Like many of the others I read you on Weddingbee and then found you through Jenna's blog!
[Reply]
Hi, I'm Leen! I don't remember how I found your blog. I'm pretty sure it was through one of the Bees! You're one of my favorites and was just ecstatic to find your regular blog! I love your honesty and style of writing!
[Reply]
Hi Marisa, I found you through Weddingbee and enjoy your honest and refreshing posts. Thanks!
[Reply]
Hi Marisa, it's your bee sister Kasia, a.k.a. Your Main Squeeze Mrs Sea Breeze. (Well not really, but that was kinda fun to say out loud.)I heart NYC but I heart you more!

Hi mar. I'm your brother. We share the same mother, father, sister, and ridiculously large extended family. I'm extremely jealous that you're in NYC right now. I miss that place.

hi, i'm amanda j. i followed you here from weddingbee via twitter (i think). i don't have a blog or a google account, but i swear i'm for real. i like your writing. it gives me warm fuzzies even when it is neither warm nor fuzzy. i'm a newlywed (almost a year) and i have two big dogs and one teeny puppy. yes, i was serious, your wedding recaps on weddingbee brought me to tears.
[Reply]
Like so many before me, I followed you here from Weddingbee.
. Oh. And I'm Elana.

Hello! I'm Caitlan, and like many others, I followed you over from Weddingbee. I am SO happy you're still blogging! The blog world needs more refreshing writers like you.

Got here from the BCC. But I think you know that.

Hi– I found you through weddingbee. I'm loving this blog because I've been married for a year now and I think it's about time I move away from the wedding stuff and focus on the marriage stuff.
[Reply]
Hi, I'm CeCe and I found you through Weddingbee, and then again through Jenna. I stayed because of the honesty you write with (and maybe a little bit because of the cute animals as well):)-Cwww.craftysmurfette.com

Hope you're enjoying NYC and the chance to get away from your office! I'm sure your pups will miss you greatly!I started following you on Weddingbee, much like many others. Besides Mrs. Lovebug, your posts were some of the few posts I bookmarked and re-read time and time again.

Hi! I'm Cacey and I found you through Jenna's (That Wife) blog. The name of your blog caught my eye so I had to click on over and was happy to find Mrs. Cheese from WB. Hope you're having a fantastic trip in NYC!
[Reply]
Ok, so same as many people I loved your posts on Weddingbee, and then I saw Jenna/Mrs Avo following you on Twitter, so I did too, then I moved over to the blog!
[Reply]
Finally found you! I've been stalking (er, following) you on the Bee and recently found this site through your twitter via Bruschetta's twitter. Ok, I know I'm crazy, but I love your blogging!
[Reply]
