Hi gang.
Remember me? Your friendly blogger friend who went on a ‘break’ and kinda actually had a mental breakdown and is back to talk about it but not really talk about it because feelings are overwhelmingly feeling-y and she’s dealing with a lot of them lately, are you cool with that?
“Um, with what exactly?” you are asking.
I don’t know. Where were we?
Haha, everything is fine!
Everything is not fine.
I’m dealing with some life stuff. Stuff beyond broken vacuums and missing keys and naughty toddlers. It’s … really hard to be honest. I’m facing a lot of uncertainty in my life. And I deal with it by hiding in a little hole and not answering emails or texts or returning phone calls or speaking to like, any people, at all, ever.
But that’s dumb.
I don’t want to be like that.
I want to come back to my happy place where I share cool stuff with you and we talk about furniture and makeovers and Justin Bieber, or whatever.
And this really is a happy place. I hope you think so too. I finally went through all the sweet emails and comments so many of you have left for me today and it really lifted my spirits. I should have done it sooner. So thank you. Thanks to each one of you for that, (especially Justin W. who always makes me laugh the most). It really, really, really, truly means a lot.
I’m going to be ok. I’m healthy and my kids are healthy and we are gathered here today to get through this thing called “life,” which yes, is a Prince lyric, fine.
If you’re currently having a hard time at this life business too, I’m here for you. It won’t last forever. And this tiny hedgehog is on our side too, so obviously everything will be ok.
I’m excited to get back into a routine again, I think that’s important.
So I’ll see you soon gang.
I mean it this time.

Please take care of yourself. Many of us have been in that little hidey-hole and can sympathize. Things will get better. All the best

February 8, 2017 at 7:05 PMLindsey, so sorry for your pain – Life sucks sometimes. You are so awesome and bring so much creativity and fun into people’s “everyday”. I know I look forward to checking in with you daily and like many others, I’ve missed you.
Hope things get better. You’re too awesome to be down for long. Luv & Prayers are being sent your way.

February 8, 2017 at 7:14 PMYou never fail to make me smile. But, your mission in life should include making yourself smile! Here’s to knowing that you are worth all of the hard work to get through the rough stuff.

February 8, 2017 at 8:58 PMAwww! Sorry to read you’re having a bad time! Glad you’re *sort of* back! I’ve checked this space every. single. day. Not just for befores and afters, but for the funny commentary and random Prince lyrics. It’s safe to say your readers will be here for you- sending virtual uplifting, hugs, and prayers!

February 8, 2017 at 10:54 PMI have been following your blog for a long time. It’s one of my favorites. Sometimes we need to take a break. There’s nothing wrong with that. Sending big hugs and positive thoughts to you. Take your time and when you come back it you will be more fierce than ever.

February 8, 2017 at 11:26 PMHi Lindsey – I’m glad to know that nothing health-related is going on and that alone is a huge blessing. Take your time to get out of whatever you need to deal with, like I always say, “blogging takes a backseat anytime to anything that concerns ME or my Family”. Best of luck dear!

February 8, 2017 at 11:50 PMHi Lindsey
The problem with social media is it turns bloggers into ‘stars’ without the kind of sycophantic supporters the millionaire famous have to do their tweeting etc for them.
Lindsey, your readers are total strangers: absolute nobodies in the scheme of your life before you became a blogger, and not much after.
You owe your audience n-o-t-h-i-n-g.
Your level of humorous writing demands more than non-writers realise, particularly when the makeovers get a bit repetitive. There’s a limit about what one can say on the subject of chalk paint, let alone make it entertaining.
Stop your blog forever. No reasons, no excuses. Just STOP. Now.
I’ve enjoyed visiting, but you need to be less burdened by trivia.
If you decide to post again, I’m sure people will re-find you.
My best wishes.
Deb from Australia

And no matter how hard things can get, always remember: this too shall pass.
But while it’s still happening, please take care of yourself. And take all the time you need/want. You are more important than your blog.

February 9, 2017 at 3:40 AMLindsey, I started writing “I’m sorry you are going through life” but that sounded funny to me. Of course, we have to go through life unless we want to just stay well, stuck. I’ve done that before. It isn’t fun. In fact, I might be doing that somewhat right now. Darn procrastination. Anyway, I understand your coping strategy. I do exactly the same thing. I don’t talk to anyone and hide. (Well, I do talk to my children and haven’t ever been able to successfully hide from them.) I’m glad you’re starting to feel better. We’ll be here when you return. Sending virtual hugs your way.

February 9, 2017 at 4:42 AMI’ve definitely been through “life” – and gotten help from professionals (including meds) which helped immensely. It can be hard to being honest! And, if it is a burden, don’t worry about this blog… take care of you first. It must be hard to do with four little ones!! #reignofterror I love your humor and your content… but you is you and that comes first.
Rosie S
February 9, 2017 at 6:55 AMAw, yup, sometimes life just kicks your butt. Sending the best vibes your way. I echo what the others have said…take care of you and your family first!

February 9, 2017 at 8:02 AMLindsey, I’m glad you checked in…. I was getting worried. A lot of my friends and family have been in a funk…including me. Here’s to getting out of our funk and off the couch and back to the gym. <<<<<<<< That was for me. HA!!
Take care of you and your family first…. that is the most important.

February 9, 2017 at 8:14 AMKudos for putting yourself out there. Hope you find the help and support you need. I’m not a big blog commenter but I’ve been a long, long time follower and love what you do! So here’s a long overdue thank you!

February 9, 2017 at 8:31 AMLindsey- Deb from Australia said it best – “you owe us NOTHING!”. You have given and given and we appreciate it! You have brought so much lightness and fun into my little world and I so wish I could do the same for you. I do want to pass along a little bit of wisdom that someone shared with me once. It has stuck in my brain and I love it:
This is a new chapter in your life. The most exciting thing is that YOU get to be the author!
(write those pages Lindsey! make the story amazing!)
**blessings**

February 9, 2017 at 8:33 AMI feel quite differently then most here and i may be wrong. But this is where you said your happy place is and if it is then stay and blog. Write about makeovers once a week if you have must ot write about what ails your heart or soul. We have laughed with you and we can also cry with you. We can encourage you and send you loving thoughts and prayers. Someone accurately said we didnt know you before but we know you now and i believe i will “know” you for my lifetime because you have made me laugh. I’ve been inspired by ideas on your blog. And my husband knows you as my funny blog friend with the 4 kids! Wishing to here from you soon (or later). XxX

February 9, 2017 at 8:40 AMAs someone who once spent weeks (okay, it was months) after a bad break-up huddled up in a ball in the corner of my sofa I am really not in a position to offer advice to anyone, but I will offer this, in the sage words of Winnie the Pooh, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and loved more than you know.” And one other thing. Don’t do what others think is best for you. Do what YOU think is best for you.
Sending positive thoughts your way.

February 9, 2017 at 9:58 AMI have missed you very much and so glad that you are coming back. Life is so hard sometimes, but just remember you are not alone and we are here to support you! I will be praying for you and your situation.

February 9, 2017 at 12:06 PMLindsey thank you for updating us. I along with the many others have been concerned. Good thoughts are coming your way chickie.
Beth
February 9, 2017 at 12:11 PMI just want to add another word of encouragement but everything I want to write sounds like a bad facebook meme. For example: “This too shall pass. Maybe like a kidney stone, but it will pass.” See? Awful facebook meme with small kernel of truth. I too have endured “life” and I quickly go into hermit mode and hunker down in my own little cave. And yet here I am, I emerged on the other side of it. So please just know that you have a lot of people who are rooting for you and supporting you. We may not know you in person, and we may not know what is going on, but we do hope you can feel the love and encouragement through your wifi.
Chin up. You’ve go this.
Jennifer S.
February 9, 2017 at 2:10 PMI checked back everyday – I missed you! But I would have kept on checking back, because you are worth it! Please know that there are lots of us out here. We may not have reached out to you, but we were thinking about you and hoped that you were well.
And as a fellow Arizonain, I was just hoping you were too busy enjoying the weather. 🙂

February 9, 2017 at 3:07 PM1. I am sorry. I respect your openness. I love this blog – the only one I actually follow. But I realize there is a real human on the other side. One that makes me laugh, inspires me, but has all the ups and downs of being a human. Whatever path you take going forward, just know you made this human better, after, this blog.
2. You have some very lovely fans with great advice. Really so lovely.
3. Take care of you!
4. Hugs.

February 9, 2017 at 3:08 PMMissed you, hope you get back to your happy place soon ! Life sucks sometimes but hopefully it will pass.

February 9, 2017 at 3:11 PMLindsey: Went thru the same thing years back. When I sang Christmas songs at church, I cried because they made me sad. Got so I wouldn’t leave house. Meds, therapy and good friends pulled me through it and now they can’t get away from me or shut me up! Hang in there; it’s a lot of work but it is so worth it. You get your life back again. Be strong, say your prayers and know that your blog friends are praying for you. By the way, we miss you too and can’t wait for your return!
Julie
February 9, 2017 at 3:55 PMI really don’t know what I did or how it happened, but one day your blog started showing up in my emails. It seems like it was long ago. I’ve LOVED them from that beginning. I have missed reading them. You are always so positive and humorous! And, I love the before and afters that folks share. Just wanted to let you know that, and I will say a prayer for you. Praying that whatever is going on, you’ll turn toward the Lord and find peace and comfort.

February 9, 2017 at 4:08 PMWelcome back! Hope all will go well and I’ve prayed for you and your family!

February 9, 2017 at 4:14 PMThank you so much for sharing your real life; it’s validating for those of out here in the blogosphere that read your hilarious and happy blog and wrongly deduce that you have the perfect life. I’m in the struggle, too, sister, and I totally get the “don’t want to go to church today or talk to anyone I know please just go away thank you very much” thing. I’m in it with you and if it’s any comfort knowing that you have people out here like you, supporting you, and praying that you feel bolstered and encouraged by us fans, instead of burdened. And by all means, please take all the time you need to take care of yourself, fill up, and find peace. I love your blog, I always read it right away because you never fail to make me laugh and inspire me, and add a little sparkle to my day. Sending hugs…and lifting prayers.
Debra
February 9, 2017 at 4:42 PMHugs to you. Life is hard and kids are, well, kids. Husbands/partners/significant others and parents bring their baggage too. How we manage to walk upright sometimes is baffling. Take time to care for yourself and know we are all cheering you on.
Karen
February 9, 2017 at 4:55 PMSo glad you’re back cuz yours is the first email I read after work when I take my email/blog/fb/pinterest break each afternoon.
I totally get just crawling in a hole and not talking to anyone! But, if it’s your marriage, don’t be like me and wait 27 years (literally!) to talk to a counselor.
Praying that you have a wonderful support network to help you get through this season, whatever the difficulties are!
Hugs, Karen

February 9, 2017 at 9:05 PMI was just searching for you the other day, thinking that maybe my email wasn’t receiving your blog posts. I’m so glad to “hear’ your voice, and I am so sorry that life is being life right now. Take care of you, and come back when you are able. I know a lot of us miss you and your posts, but I’m willing to bet that every single last one of us would only want you to come back when you’re in a good place. Blessings.

Mary
February 9, 2017 at 10:09 PMI am sorry. If it is health related, be sure you see your doctors. I discovered that mine had a physical source and thought it was just mental. While I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, I now understand what it is like to experience it and that is what being human is about. My weakness is now a strength to the next person experiencing it.
Bets
February 9, 2017 at 10:47 PMWhew, you’re okay!! (And by “okay,” I mean you are not dead on the side of the road in a ditch, which is exactly what I imagine when my kids don’t come home from school or work on time and I see an ambulance heading in the direction they should be coming from, and then I keep worrying until they walk in the door. Ugh, I really HAVE turned into my mother.)
I am really sorry you’re going through crap. Crap is so… crappy, and it sucks too. Sending you love and light and help in whatever form works best for you. We love you, but you’ve got to do what’s best for you. I appreciate that you came here to check in with us.
mercury
February 10, 2017 at 6:20 AMLike almost everyone else, I too have had seasons of great difficulties. Serious, heart-wrenching, soul-battling struggles. I have a quote that I keep nearby. “You’ve got a new story to write. And it looks nothing like your past.”
It’s a simple reminder for me that we can make life changes that will alter our path, and move us toward greatness.
Thanks for the light and love you bring to the blogsphere. I look forward to more when you are ready <3

kwolff
February 10, 2017 at 10:04 AMWelcome back! I totally and completely get the need to “hide” when things get crazy. I do that sometimes and it helps to remove some of added pressure of the outside world. I hope that you are doing well. I (along with others) appreciate the update even though you don’t owe us a thing. Hang in there and know your loyal fans will be here when you are ready. Hugs to you and your family!

I want you to be peaceful. As a survivor of life, my way of getting out of the hiding place was to get back to some sort of life. It’s not easy, but it helps. And just trust and believe in your Creator. Blessings

February 13, 2017 at 12:54 PMYup, this business called life can be pretty tough! I have been through it all too, trust me, divorce, no job, angry step kids, cancer, kid running away, nervous breakdowns, depression, all kinds of icky stuff, but I have learned from it all and with the help of the Lord I am okay so I know you will be too. You are that kind of girl, I’m pretty certain. I too will be here when you return.
Love and hugs, Cindy

February 13, 2017 at 2:31 PMUgh, life. I have a little mantra that I try to remember to repeat when everything feels crashy and crumbly. “All will be well. And all will be well. And all will be well.” I think it’s based on something in one of Elizabeth Gilbert’s books. Also – this too shall pass. Hang in there, sister.
Kimberly
February 13, 2017 at 3:39 PMMelissa Maris, I think maybe you are quoting Julian of Norwich, “All shall be well.” And since I am not only pedantic but I, too, like quoting sage advice I will quote the wise Taylor Swift. Lindsey: Shake it off! I mean, you’ve won a haiku contest AND you taught your own self to crochet! You’re unstoppable! I read many blogs and yours is not only engaging for content, but you are so stinkin’ witty and literate you make me smile and challenge myself to catch all your allusions. And you’re cute as a button. Post. Or something. When other things fall apart it is good to have a creative outlet. Nothing kicks you in the big girl panties like routine, creativity and ad revenue! XOXO

February 14, 2017 at 12:39 PMHey friend! We think of you often, and when we do we whisper a little prayer for your strength of mind, body, and spirit. So thankful that you checked in with us. In the end, all will be well. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). One day you will wake up and your joy will have returned…it is a promise from the Lord. Every day you endure is one day closer you are to your joy coming back.

February 17, 2017 at 1:07 PMI hope things are going better for you. I’ve often heard it said we really never know how many lives we touch. You’ve never heard from me, but my best friend and I have been loyal followers of your blog for sometime. We’ve cheered and jeered all projects, but you’ve always been there presenting them with a lighthearted bit of humor. Please come back to us if you can. We miss you.
Amanda
February 17, 2017 at 3:52 PMI’m sorry for your struggles. Everyone has experienced them in some way. And although it’s not in YOUR way at least you know others go through really dumb stuff, too. I hope that you (and your kids) can find the encouragement and relief that you need and deserve.
Paige
February 18, 2017 at 5:54 AMLindsey, I’m checking back in. Even though I’m not an “official” follower, yours is the first blog I check and have checked every morning for years. I know it is probably too much to expect you to be back already. I just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you until you do. I’ll refrain from sending more comments (unless a month goes by and I can’t contain my concern), but please know that I am here for you. If you need a stranger to vent to/dump stuff on, shoot me an email. Sending more virtual hugs your way. Paige
Missey
February 18, 2017 at 8:31 AMOoooooh, girl, I know whereof you speak! Sometimes I think with creativeness comes extra feelingness, too . . . a blessing and a curse!
In any case, take the time you need. We will all be here when you’re ready! Hugs to you.
Christine Albright
February 19, 2017 at 7:49 AMOh honey, you take the time you need. Your blog has always been my favorite, so I (like many others) will still be here when/if you choose to start writing again. Take care of yourself and your little ones — because that is the most important thing of all. Lots of love and hugs…Christine
susan
February 19, 2017 at 5:12 PMI first started reading you when I had my own break down and my marriage was ending. Reading your blog daily was me giving myself permission to envision a new life for myself that involved creativity and Humor! You probably wouldnt think that a blog like this could be a lifeline for someone whose world was falling down around her ears, but it WAS, and it has been ever since. My youngest was 3 and my oldest was 9 and it sucked! But it was grownup ME time to come here and smile and be inspired. I hope you know that your words have made a difference to me. Every last funny cheesy thing you’ve typed. I’m cheering for YOU now as you go through your own struggles.
Laura
February 21, 2017 at 11:39 AMHope things are getting better for you everyday. You are missed here but we all wish you the best.

February 21, 2017 at 12:25 PMNot that there’s ever a good time, but your post came at a perfect time for me. I too am going through this thing called life… with my own small businesses being neglected to get a job (I refuse to use the term “real” job because running two small business while being Mom to my daughter is realer than anything) Thanks for being honest and open. So many of us are right there with you, Linds! A big Italian squeeze to you from here in Philly. XO

February 21, 2017 at 3:27 PMSo good to hear from you. You are greatly missed and loved by many. Take care of yourself an know that God is always there. Thoughts and prayers coming your way!

February 22, 2017 at 4:36 PMI have followed your blog for several years. I have enjoyed the humor in your writing, and love transformations. you have helped me over the years by bringing humor into each day for me. I sincerely hope that you are able to reach the point of whatever transformation in your life, that you need to be able to move on. Whatever the direction, I pray its up.
Pam
February 22, 2017 at 6:18 PMHang in there – deep breaths and keep doing the next thing –
Kim
February 23, 2017 at 5:32 AMI’m so glad you’ve posted again! I found that I really missed your funny posts. You’re the only blog I really follow with regularity anymore. I usually “binge read” when I can. I hope everything is ok… if I knew you better or IRL I’d tell you life is full of ups and downs. The downs suck! But make the ups that much sweeter… I hope you’re on your way up!
Kammy
February 23, 2017 at 10:44 AMAs a blogger who doesn’t really read anyone else’s blog but yours… I have missed you, worried about, even gotten a call from my mom worried about you! Take your time, know we love you, can’t wait to read your blog again – but in the meantime we are praying for you!
Best news in the world: “When we were without strength, in just the right time, Christ died for the ungodly”. I’m so thankful! Romans 5 is the best news ever. 🙂 God reaches down and picks us up when we are at our lowest if we are willing to let Him.

February 23, 2017 at 5:50 PMHi Lindsey
So glad to hear from you again, but so sorry you are sad.
Life’s not fair, it just is what it is. I take a long, long time to recover from hurt, but, you know what? You bring much joy to others and you deserve to be happy. So…choose to be happy. As soon as you can. Until then, rely on your family, friends and virtual friends. You uplift us all with your humour and warmth, now it is your turn to receive love and support

February 25, 2017 at 9:57 AMEvery day I check your blog (with fingers crossed) that you have written something witty then my heart breaks for you when I realize you haven’t. I will continue to check daily and hope that one day when you are ready you will return. Sorry that sometimes this thing called life sucks. Sending you good thoughts and good karma.
Mo Goldsberry
February 25, 2017 at 8:13 PMI do so hope you’re working through this thing called “life” and you’re feeling better about things. I totally agree with the poster who said you owe us nothing but at the same time (she said in a perfect 2 year old whining voice) I hope that eventually you feel good enough to come to your blog because I LOVE and miss it. It makes me laugh every time I read one of your posts. Take care of yourself and your family first and come back to us when you can but not a minute sooner.
Tiffany
February 26, 2017 at 12:34 PMHope you are ok. We miss you, but take the time you need. We will be waiting.

March 5, 2017 at 12:08 AMHi Lindsey,
Your blog has been a consistent delight for me for years now. Considering your posts are about decor and design, it’s an added bonus that you’re also very witty and have a way with words. Thank you for sharing so much of your time over the years, and all the best to you and your little ones however you move forward from here. Sending you sunshine from Sydney. x

March 10, 2017 at 8:02 AMYou talked about easing back in, maybe let Just Justin guest post a couple? Or have people submit their photos with the write up already done? Hopefully with some humor included. Getting back to what you love is healing. Sending love.
Ann
March 11, 2017 at 2:22 PMI just wanted to add my note that I hope you are doing ok and that you are using this time to focus on your family. I have enjoyed your blog so much over the years and hope that you are some day ready to return. You are such a talented writer! Take care of yourself!

Judy
March 24, 2017 at 6:57 AMHi, Sweet Lady! You just hide out for however long it takes. You’ll know when it’s time to peek outside. I can do the hermit like nobody’s business, but I always, eventually, do the un-hermit and join life again. You will, too, I promise.
You’ve made me smile more times than you can imagine. The least I can do is pray for you. You just take care of Lindsey and love on your babies with all your heart. They have the power of healing!
MrsDLA
March 24, 2017 at 7:13 PMThank you for sharing this. I am too having a hard time at life. Everyday it’s just building. I’m glad that I randomly checked this blog today to see this message that I am not the only one. When you’re going through hell keep going!
Maureeng
April 2, 2017 at 8:05 PMI hope you;’re feeling better and stronger every day. If not, ignore the roadblocks and keep going. It may not be soon but life will get better and eventually you will come out of the other side of the wormhole. I’m not religious but I’ve risked a lightning bolt from above and sent up several pleas for you.

April 7, 2017 at 10:25 PMDear Lindsey,
I just found your blog while looking for ideas on how to paint an oak dining table.
Wow, hearing your pain really resonated with me as I have been dealing with what I am assuming are similar issues as yours’ for several months. The most important thing that I have learned through my journey is to “have COMPASSION for yourself”. Love heals, and you must love yourself in order to heal, especially on the worst days.
Good health and happiness to you and your family.
Jo

April 23, 2017 at 8:48 PMSo, I’m just checking in on your blog and I see that you haven’t posted in such a long time. Which is so crazy because I haven’t toughed my blog since the end of last year either. I just sort of let it go dormant. I will pick it back up again but right now I have no interest. I too have been going through some stuff as well such as anxiety and depression related to my cancers and stuff so I totally get what you are doing. I hope you are figuring it all out – if you do, let me know. LOL God Bless you my dear! Know you are loved and missed. 🙂

I’m so, so sorry you’re going to hard times, whatever they may be! Life can be so hard! We’ve been in difficult circumstances, too. I don’t have wisdom to offer beyond what everyone else has already said, but I’m saying a prayer for you this morning. <3

May 25, 2017 at 2:38 PMHey there- Just wanted to let you know I’m rooting for ya and am wishing you all the best. I check on your blog often because it’s been such a bright spot for many years for me. There aren’t many things in life where you get an immediate before/after- so rewarding and I’ve always been inspired to keep on keepin’ on after reading your blog. Thank you for bringing daily inspiration as often and as long as you have. May this find you coping well with life- and I pray you’re finding your way. This is by no means a plea for you to come back (I totally understand if this gig is up) but it is a plea for you to carry on and do the right thing for YOU today.

KimberJ
June 8, 2017 at 1:14 PMHi Lindsey,
I know you’re going through a really rough time. I have a feeling I know what happened but that is beside the point. My point is we are all still here for you. You may be not blogging for legal reasons and I completely understand. If not you could maybe put up some postings from the past, sort of a year in review. Another blogger friend of mine did that when her husband hit her with a divorce. That way she held her audience without really doing any work. But another blogger friend had to shut down to prevent someone from claiming her income. So do what you have to do but know that we are here for you, ALL OF US ARE HERE FOR YOU!!! Much Love and strength to you.
Barbara Cox
June 14, 2017 at 4:57 AMHi Lindsey, I just searched for you because I realized I haven’t gotten any of your wonderful posts for such a long time. Sorry you are going through a rough time, hugs and prayers to you. You are my favorite blogger, I always looked forward to your humorous take on things. Use that sense of humor now to get by, and realize there are a whole lot of people out here pulling for you and waiting for your return, whenever you can come back to internet land
Susan
June 17, 2017 at 5:08 AMJust checking in to let you know we’ll all still be here when and if you come back to blogging! Life can certainly be hard and throw some really terrible curve balls but just know your virtual “family” is thinking about you as you deal with whatever hand you’ve been delt.

June 21, 2017 at 1:00 PMI’ve been MIA from reading any blogs for awhile, but I wanted to see what you had going on, because you always made me laugh. So sorry you’re going through rough stuff.

June 23, 2017 at 11:24 AMI have gotten out of my routine of looking at your blog. It was always my daily dose of happy to rummage around your posts.

We are doing one step every day and the books are in the “ugly” stage right now. The kids are looking at me like “Why are we wasting our time on this?” and I just laugh because I know they are going to love the final product. Thank you SO much for taking the time to give us a tutorial a few ywars ago and now that I check your blog every 3 or 4 weeks to check up on you. I do hope you’re taking care of yourself and that you’re starting to dig your way out of the hole.

January 4, 2018 at 2:38 PMLindsey, life can sure throw some curve balls. And it never really asks if you are ready for it, or gives you a courtesy count, like 1,2,3 ready or not….I have been told that this too shall pass. I hope so. Can’t wait for you to come back. On your time, when you are ready. Coolio.

February 7, 2018 at 1:50 AMI just thought I’d pop by to say I’m still missing you and hope things are better for you. I thought I’d be the only recent one but here ^^^ are others thinking the same. Even if you never come back, thanks for the funnies and the uber style xx
