One year of blogging

I missed marking my one-year blogiversary a couple of weeks ago.

When I began blogging last year, it was a tentative response to the pain of broken friendships and the isolation of a new job after ten years of being a stay-home mom. I wasn't sure if I would like blogging, and I knew that if I didn't really enjoy it, I wouldn't continue doing it.

I guess I liked it. I've certainly learned a lot about myself and about other people. And I've made some incredible friendships through blogging. Cool people I never would've had the opportunity to get to know, were it not for this medium.

In about a month, I'm going to be playing the piano at the wedding of two awesome bloggers, SarahK and FrankJ. They're both WAAAAAY more "famous" as bloggers than I could ever dream of being, but I still get to be a part of a really terrific match. I feel very, very privileged and honored.

The wedding is in Fort Worth, Texas. I get to stay a couple of nights with my mommy and daddy, who live north of Fort Worth in Denton... and SarahK has insisted that I will be singing karaoke at the reception. I have no idea what I'll sing, though... I wonder if they have any Nelson Riddle orchestral numbers? Somehow I doubt it. Maybe some Cyndi Lauper?

I heart iTunes, by the way.
