Like all good origin stories, this one begins in a
garage. No, wait. With a birth.
Ten years ago, my son was born at the tail end of
August. I had a semester off from teaching, so I felt like I had a little time
on my hands to do some writing. A coworker
suggested I try a blog. So I did.
Four cities, four libraries, four book clubs later,
I somehow have kept it going – in all weathers.
Only recently have I begun sharing my posts on
Facebook. Before that, I would intermittently
send out an email, casually mentioning the link. After I shared it with
a Moms book club I belonged to, I heard about the following conversation:
“That blog M* sent out. It’s so funny and smart.”
“Morningstar writes it.”
“She does??!!”
Since the blog turns 10 this month, I’ve compiled a list
of 10 of my favorite posts I hope you’ll
enjoy reading (or re-reading).
Because, well, that’s kind of the point.
2008 That
thing is Toad!
2011 Under the Wire
2012 Happenstance
2015 In Storage
2016 I
Have My Own Quirks

and Ruth”

Well, I am not a very regular reader, but I am a faithful one- and I think I've been reading your blog almost as long as it has been around- you must have told me about it one day when we ran into each other on the stairwell- me going up and you come down, or vice-versa.
Congrats!
