To quote Monty Python - I'm not dead yet!

*pokes her LJ with a stick* Hmm, it's not dead yet. Good to know.

so, HI! I'm attempting a comeback. Or something like that.

It's been far too long since I was here last, and I decided to read through my friend's list before commenting. Doing so was surreal, so many names that I absolutely recognize, but the details of the person have been blurred. In some cases I went back and re-read several of their posts to re-familiarize myself with them. All the while I should be working, of course.

I've missed you all- though some of you I still chat with via Facebook. A funny in it's own right, as I've gotten to know your real names but have forgotten the old LJ usernames.

While it's impossible to go back in time and re-create the sense of community, and belonging, that I felt before with LJ- I think it's entirely possible to create something new. Also? I think it's time. :)

A reminder/update for me. Name is still Anne, still married to Steve (lazy_cat_steve- though that LJ hasn't seen the light of day for even longer than mine). We live in Ann Arbor, MI, and still have no children, but do have a dog and two cats. The cats have changed, back in August 2012 we adopted a lovable orange fuzzball that I named Dafydd. Dafydd is... an interesting fellow. Brightest thing about the boy is his fur. Sadly, my beloved Sasha crossed the Rainbow Bridge 11-29-15. She was 18 years old, and had struggled with kidney disease for the last 4-5 years of her life. She was my soul-kitty, and I still miss her terribly. I do have my boys to distract me - Leo is still a pain, though he has mostly passed the Danger Boy!! mantle on to Dafydd, and Kyle is still my darling doggins.

Of course there's so much more. But I wanted to get an entry in, and get myself back into the habit of checking and updating. :) For those of you that are still around- thank you.

So....I forgot your LJ name (even though I see you on the Facebooks all the time) and I was like, hmmm....she seems familiar....LOL

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

LOL! I know! All these people I followed to FB from LJ, and now I can't remember who they were on LJ! I'm slowly figuring out some of them.

Okay, some I'm still a little confused by, I know I knew them- but I'm not remembering all the details.

I've missed you!

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! It's feeling pretty good to be back. :)

Funny how FB brought me back to LJ...after it first took me away.

Hello! and nice to see folks posting. :)

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

Right? The last day or so the LJ FB group has blown up, and I think it's brought a lot of people back to at least poke at their LJs. :)

*hug*
