Happy New Year’s Eve, lovable, raucous Breed ‘Em and Weepers! This will not be eloquent, not one bit.
I love you very much. Thank you for putting up with my quiet, my loopy poems, and my messy brain. I give thanks for you daily (true. daily.). I wish I had a big mansion with an infinity-edge pool (or whatever that’s called) and an unlimited alcohol and catering budget so I could host a massive party and meet you and then tuck you in at night in bedrooms with 700 thread-count sheets and down comforters.
So many of you have stuck by me and kept on reading, for years now. The friendships I have made via Breed ‘Em and Weep have proven to be some of the most powerful bonds in my life. I am humbled by your love and support. My great dream is to hug as many of you as possible, and sit back and hear your stories in person. I’m tired of doing all the yapping here. Can we make that happen in 2012? Stay in touch, let me know if you’ll be near Albany or southern VT or western MA. Let’s make those hugs happen, people.
As for my very, very filthy New Year’s Resolution? Pop on over to Single Mom at Work and prepare to be shocked and titillated. (And if you live near Scranton, you might want to put together a posse of pals and make a team yourself.)
Did I mention I am so darn grateful for you?
Happy 2012. If the Mayans were right, well, that’s okay. You are the reason I believe in the innate goodness of humankind, and I don’t mind the end of the world, so much, having learned that lesson already.

We are grateful for you. I shout “yeah!” whenever I see a new BEAW post.
I just wish I’d figured out you existed sooner.
Besos,
JMU
You go, girl. I am a constant reader but an infrequent commenter. I am always in your corner but silently, and I am so happy that you’re starting 2012, end of the world or not, with hope and the good kind of change.
Back at ya, Jenn! Thanks for sharing the ride with us. Happy 2012 to you, the girls, the Mater and the furbabies!
Oh Jenn. I wish you knew how many of us out there are so grateful for YOU. I have been reading for quite some time, yet I comment very infrequently. You and your stories have remained a constant when so much else in my life has changed over the past 5 years. Thank you for sharing. In 2012, I’d like to reach out more. Virtual high fives all the way
Last year was a tough year for me in a lot of ways, but there were also many blessings along the way. Finding your blog was one of them.
Happy New Year!
Though I don’t comment often, I’m still out here, loving your writing, your spirit and your grit. Thank you!! I’m sooo tempted to do the Dirty Girl. Maybe, maybe…
Happy New Year, dearest one! I’ve been reading for…well, forever, I think…lol. If the Mayans are right? I’ll have no regrets for the time I’ve spent with you in this space. Maybe someday I’ll make it to your neck of the woods again and then I’ll make a point of buying you a cuppa something.
I’m glad Neil introduced me to your writing, and as I see you write through your life and persevere, I’m inspired to do the same. Thank you!
i love you! seriously i do.
