To hell with the blues


I haven't been here in six weeks.

I was stressed out over the holidays, and busy with all that nonsense. Then I lost my internet connection due to not paying my bills.

I'm back now, though. Catching up, and trying to write, and looking forward to reading and talking to friends.

I just wanted to get this first post over with. And get on with my life. ;)

So...

Merry Christmas!!
Happy New Year!!
Happy Groundhog's Day!

I hope everyone is well.

Welcome back, Ash! I like the green. Soothing, like springtime. Happier than the blues, for sure.

Heyyyy Ashley!
It's so good to hear from you, although I'm sorry that the holidays were so stressful. Hope February turns things around.

sweeeeeeet :) Happy Monday! And, honestly, how often do I get to say THAT?!?! Exactly.

Welcome back - quack quack. That's all I've got. Beer's over there. ;) just spending some rather melancholy days over here as well reminiscing the approaching 3 yr mark of the demise. You'll understand I'm sure. That & a birthday all in one month is really a bit much for any woman over 30 :) :) :) (You'll understand one day ABC ;) )

Hugs - Heidi

ok - are you playing hide and go seek w/ your photos again? yoohoo, Ashley...I was hoping for clicks of BG at Christmas, but now I'm just hoping for a digital lo site ;)

Gary said...

Welcome back.

Nice picture. Looks like Van Gogh.

FiL said...

You're back! Hooray! See? I was right - the sun did come out tomorrow, er, today, er, yesterday.

Dang it, who care when it came out? It's out. And that's grand!!

Colin said...

Whew...! It is so nice to read your words again Ash. They matter to a lot of folks around this interweb place you know. As ever, Colin.x

you forgot hannukkah, kwanzaa and festivus

A. B. Chairiet said...

I did, didn't I? So sorry about that...

Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy Festivus!

And Happy Hanukkah to you, Josh. :)

...

Colin: It's so nice to read your words also.

And thank you. I'm glad to be back.

I'm glad you're back too. :)

...

FiL: You're right...the sun comes out, and who cares when!

We'll don little red dresses, and be glad. :)

...

Gary: Thank you. It is Van Gogh, actually. I like to pretend it's The Starry Night‘s soul mate, or maybe its long lost twin. The blue heavy blanket is lifted, and the town becomes a field. :)

...

Heidi: As much as I love playing hide and seek, I've merely taken down the link for the digital lo because I don't think I'm going to do that blog anymore.

I'll just post my favorite pictures here...Christmas photos included. :)

...

Heidi: Love the quack-quack! Made me laugh, and miss "town"...

I'm so sorry you're feeling melancholy.

I hope you're feeling better now, or soon.

Hugs to you too!

More later (...plus, I have something to tell you! *Ash smiling, and acting nonchalant*).

...

Bee: I'm lucky to have you lurking.

You’re a wonderful writer! :)

Thanks for saying anything at all.

...

BB: I've missed you too!

I can't wait to cozy up with your writing and archives.

I hope you and Jemima are both doing well. :)

...

JC: Thank you.

And I love your avatar!

It makes me giggle every time I look at it. :)

...

Brian: Hi to you too! :)

It's good to hear from you also.

I hope the new year is treating you well.

...

Daibh: Thank you. I'm so glad you like the green. :)

Happy Wednesday!
~ Ash

Mimey said...

Darling You're Back! Yay!

(I guess you knew that already)

I've been studying Van Gogh with my class. We spent a lot of time looking at that picture. So that was a pleasant welcome for me. I'm totally into the brushstrokes :-)

Hope your world is full of joy,

Jxxx

I loved your photos! I'm sorry I didn't comment. :)

We'll definitely hang in there. :)

I'll be in touch with you soon.
