Hey you! Remember me?!
That girl that used to come see you and leave feedback on your blogs every day? That girl that keeps changing up her profile picture because she's not sure which one might be less recognizable? The one that keeps wondering "Is today the day that someone from high school stumbles here and sees my face?! Would that be so bad? Would the shit hit the fan? Am I crossing the line of paranoia? Does my work know where I'm going and what I'm doing everyday? Would they care? Do I care? Can I get away with it until we move?" Anyway, here's the deal:
I've hit a road block with the blogging thing. It seems over the weekend our network updated it's firewall or whatever..It seems I've been firewalled out of my own blog. And anyone else's blog that uses blogger. I can no longer view my own blog, or any other blogspot.com sites. I can no longer comment, but I can use my dashboard and write new posts. And all of your comments are sent directly to my gmail account, so I can reply to each of you personally, just not on my blog. I. Am. So. Pissed.
But, I'm gonna roll with the punches and keep writing and hopefully everyone will stick around. I really love this you guys. I haven't written anything besides the occasional letter to the editor of the tiny-town paper since college and I'm loving this blogging thing. It feels good. It releases something inside me. It captures something I don't want to lose. And probably the best part of it all is getting to 'meet' and get to know all of you.. Really. No, none of you know my real name, or come over to grill..none of you get that late night, pissy phone call when Mr. Mustang and I bump heads (did you think I was going to say bump uglies? Get your pervy minds out of the gutters, damn)...none of you know how beautiful and funny my children really are, but we're connected just the same. Some of you know me better by this point than most of the people that see me day in and day out. I'm loving that connection and I'm gaining things from it that I can't quite articulate.
Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know why I've been kinda MIA this week. Also, if anyone loves me enough to cut and paste some recent posts ...that would be sweet, because, yes, I'm that anal about keeping up.
Love y'all.
Peace.

Good for you, keep it up.
I feel the same away about the writing at the moment, I can't seem to widen my topics, but the words keep coming.
Lovin' it.
I was all set to ask you if you wanted my wife's old laptop (so you could blog at home), as I got her a newer one. But then the newer one died, and she's back on her old one.
The thought was there, though.
Problem solved right here and now. Move y'allselves up he-ah.
i'm happy to hear you'll still be posting! i'm really enjoying your blog. :-)
I wonder if you could skirt the issue by getting blogs through feed readers. Not that I'm trying to get you to break all the rules and go all punk rock at the office or anything.
Another sign that "The Man" is trying to keep you down....RISE ABOVE!
Glad you're still around. Was getting worried.
Glad you are still with us. Hope you can still get to all of the other blogs and are still able to post.
We would hate to lose you.
I'm hooked, so I'm stayin. I actually have the opposite problem at work. The IT dept did some kind of system upgrade recently and now NOTHING is blocked. It's amazing how a thousand people CAN keep a secret if it's important enough.
Glad that you are going to stick around, although I liked having you over at my place too.
Keep it up adn I will keep visiting.
Can't you subscribe to a feeder and get the posts emailed to you?? That would be really frustraing, but at least you get to write. We're not going anywhere. Don't worry about the comment love!!
Blogging at work...for shame!
Not that I would EVER encourage the delinquency of a worker bee, but here's a suggestion. Type your blog post into a Word document, save it onto a floppy or CD, and run by the library on your way home to post it.
It could work. :)
Been here since the beginning, and I'll be here tomorrow. Just keep plugging away . . . computers be damned!
Ya gotta love Blogger. I swear, sometimes I think it pulls stuff like that just to see if we're paying attention.
I feel the same way about blogging. And, I'm not reading for the comments from you (although I do love your visits) so you know I'll keep coming. Blog on, That Girl!
Hope you can get it worked out. Bourbon and marshmallows just isn't the same without a thatgirl post.
Hey, TG. Hope you have powered through your technical challenges.
I had a little freakout and proclaimed a hiatus, which turned out to be only three days... like you, the writing thing has gotten under my skin. So I'm glad to hear that you're keeping on keeping on!
You just keep posting, and I'll keep coming back to read! ;-)
Come back, That Girl.
