Alpina's blog post - Overwhelmed

I am overwhelmed by your warm welcome after all that time away from the blog - it's so good to have friends wherever they are. You won't believe but I had to cry a little when I read your comments just now. Well, here I am again - and as you might guess what brought me here is not just boredom or nostalgia. It's some changes in my present life.

First I have to tell you that in the past two years I have become what I always thought could never happen to me, what I even secretly abhor: a middle class, suburban, monogamous, fat-assed mum. Yes, fat-assed - I am not a spring chicken any longer, as the saying goes. I have entered my 44th years of age. In 6 years I will be old. It's now the time when the turmoil in the blood is supposed to calm down - according to some. Monogamous - who would ever have bet on that? Certainly not me.

But this can't have been all - that's what my senses have been telling me lately. By god, I am not dead yet, no, not at all!
