Let's try this again.

I am sure that you are thrilled to see this post.

I bet for a the past year you've woken nightly with sweats - terrifying images of blank screens and a the black hole created by a lack of witty commentary shuffling through your mind - asking yourself aloud in the dim quiet of your suburban bedroom: "Will MeanJean ever  blog again?"

I know its true. Because I know you. I know where you live. Because you are my mom. 

So, here I go. I'm relaunching my blog for the 197539853825th time.
