Every once in a while I get a thought in my head worth blogging about, but when I do have a two-handed moment, I can't think what they were. It's just as well, since I had a very sobering experience tonight, having nothing to do with motherhood. Travis and I happened to turn on the TV and see Andy Rooney. I haven't seen him in years, not that I ever did pay that much attention to him, but he's gotten REALLY old! Like, skin-falling-off-his-face old. And he had such tremendous insights as "I don't think anybody calls the fourth of July 'Independence Day' anymore; we all just call it 'The Fourth'," and "I don't think even the Labor Unions make much of Labor Day anymore'." He gets paid to spew crap! And I was inspired to blog. Anybody else enjoying that irony as much as I am? Even if it is at my expense. :)

So, after hearing Rooney randomly leak his decaying brain juice, I felt like a little piece of my brain had in turn rotted away because I insulted its intelligence. I hope I haven't treated you to the same experience in my blog over the past year. I don't know how much I'll continue blogging, but if I ever can get a significant thought to stick until I can get to a computer, I'll add it. As Emily grows, I'm sure there'll be more bragging to appear on this site.

This isn't a farewell or end, just a warning that the updates will be less frequent. Thanks to all of you who've been so encouraging to me from afar. I am so glad I started this when I found out I'd be Emily's mom someday. Isn't that wild? I'll be her mom forever. It's crazy scary and incredibly cool at the same time. :)
