This Old House....
I have a confession to make. I've been cheating on you. I'm sorry, but it's true. No, it's not you, it's me.
I started this blog almost two years ago as a safe place that I can come and vent. I eventually let a few cyberfriends know about it, and eventually it grew to become a fairly large blog. Bigger than I ever expected, anyway.
Over the last few months, I find myself censoring my words more and expressing my true thoughts less. I find that I am writing for the readers, and not for myself. I post because I feel that I have to and not that I want to.
Don't get me wrong. I love you all, and I will miss your comments dearly. But it is time for me to move on.
I started another blog a few weeks ago, and I think that I will move over there permanently. Yes, I've been cheating on you, and now I'm going to leave you for the Other Blog. I hope that the Mistress Blog and I are very happy together. And I know that you'll find someone else, in time...
*smooches*

I really, really, really hate to see this.
But, I think I can understand. I hope that you and your Mistress Blog are very happy with each other.
SMOOCHES. Please, don't be a stranger.
I'm sad to see you go. I truly enjoyed everything you had to say.
But...you know best. Take care & good luck!
I really enjoyed reading your blog & I'm sorry to see you go. It was fun watching your daughter grow... she's only a few weeks older than mine. Good luck & take care!
what?
Well, I say no!
Really!!
(do I sound intimidating? ;)
You can't just walk out of our lives now after how many years?
Sorry..plugging my ears...not going to take goodbye as an answer!
Okay, so I'll confess.. I really wanted to say what Jen said above!
Hi Marisa,
I'm a friend of Nancy & your bro.
My name is Barbara Francis, when Nancy told me about you having cancer, i sent you a little angel.
She sent me a pic of you & pupa.
I keep it on my fridge next to pictures of my parents (will tell you about them at a later time)
Every morning i see both your beautiful faces staring back at me.I hold you,and yours in my prayers always. I always get news from Nancy on how your doing and am so happy for you! After reading about you ,i feel i know you (maybe in another life)
I would love to one day meet you,
maybe you can come to the Bay for lunch or coffee. Nancy and i are thinking of starting a book club,
you can be the( president). This is the first time on a blog (hope i'm doing it right).Hope we can meet soon,
Stay well,
Bless you,
Barbara
Cancer?
Whoa?
Christine, please update us!
Wha?! Christine, I think I'm about to sprout the Bella pouty lip. Yup, there it is. Waaaaaa!
I do understand, and definitely get what you're saying, but I'm so sad that I won't get to check in on you and know what's happening in your life on a regular basis. Should you ever decide to share your Mistress Blog, I hope you'll count me among your readers, but of course I'll understand if you choose not to do so. You brought me to the blogosphere, and I thank you for that, as well as so much else. Keep me updated on you and the lovely Maura, please please please! Hope to see you guys again sometime soon...
As for the comment from Barbara, I think that was meant for Marisa, who also commented above. Nothing we should be worried about, right Christine?
The comment was for me (a frequent visitor to Christine's blog).
Sorry for any confusion. *embarassed* I will let the lady know that she inadvertedly left a message on the wrong blog. ;-)
Thanks for letting me know, Crista.
Seriously. I don't know how it happens. I leave comments here and they go into a black hole somewhere.
Yesterday I said that I totally and completely understand. I am really, really going to miss you and reading regular updates about you, Maura, your family, etc.
It has been an honor to share ttc and pregnancy and motherhood with you. You are very special to me. I hope that we can still keep in touch.
I hope that someday the wind will change and you'll be back, but if not--I'll understand.
I have to say that I am quite sad to read this. However, I do understand. Some part of me has also been considering it lately but I am having a hard time breaking it off with you and the other sistas. I'm truly glad to have "met" you and dear Maura. I'll miss you terribly. It has been a joy to share this journey with you- and I'm ever thankful for having some one to share all the ups and downs of ttc, pregnancy, and motherhood with you. I hope we can "meet" again sometime....
SSCKs....
hi Christine, I'll miss reading your updates..
Dear Christine,
I understand the whole "writing for your readers" feeling. You need a place where you can get out your true feelings without censorship. We will all miss your *house* greatly, but most of us know enough where to find you outside of blog land, and already are blessed with you in our everyday lives in one way or another, even with out this *house*. I agree though, that you are going to need to give your readers a Maura fix!! Maybe an updated pic of her here and there on this *house*? She is too d@mn cute to not share!
Lots of luck with your *mistress*!
Oh! And Marisa, many ((((HUGS))) to you and your health struggles. So glad to see others beat cancer!
(no signature needed)
Sorry to see you go :(
Wish you didn't have to, We'll miss your updates and that beautiful little girl.
I hope that the mistress blog serves it's purpose.
Miss you :(
Wow .. I am going to miss you!!! Wishing you nothing but the best.
Oh my gosh!!! Good luck and I totally understand.
Oh NO! This is the only place I get to here from you anymore! PANIC! I don't get to check in as often as I would like, but I still check in. I hope all goes well for you and that I see you around somewhere... sniff sniff...
Well you left a great comment on my site and left this address as a forwarding. If this post is any indication, then I'm sure I'm missing out on a great new blog. Good luck.
Now who's "diary" am I going to read? Darn it!
