If anyone had told me it would be an entire year between entries on this blog, I never would have believed it…..okay, I might have believed it…….okay, I know me. I knew it was a possibility when I said I was going to start posting a blog. But I was hopeful. However, life happens. And like the roller coaster this blog is named after, life goes up….and it goes down…….sometimes WAAAAAYYYYY down.
Yeah, I know. That’s a really corny title. Just lightening the tone a little before I get into something that’s probably going to take me deeper than I’d like, but here we go.

So much has happened, I don’t really know where to start, so I’ll just jump in somewhere.

Well, that rough ride is over, and I’ve come into the station….a NEW one! After (too) much fretting and worrying, I have a new home. (yay, me!) Continue reading “Into the Station”
This post may be a bit different from my previous ones, but it’s still part of the roller coaster ride of life. Continue reading “Kiddie Coaster”
Okay….so forgive the distance between posts. I was hoping to have great news about what was over the crest of the coaster to post here, but unfortunately, I have crested the hill and see a long, dark tunnel looming ominously before me……..wheeeeeee……

After riding the Fury 325 at Carowinds Amusement Park (shameless plug), I didn’t think there could be a longer, more anticipatory wait for ANYTHING than that first drop (artist’s rendering pictured above).
I was wrong. Continue reading “Anticipation…..”
