Even though Miss Iowa Diana Reed was robbed and was eliminated from the Miss America competition before she could perform her talent -- dance twirling -- on live TV, she rocked the house during the preliminary talent portion earlier in the week. Take a peek. It's only 2 minutes. The only thing that could've made it better is if she'd been twirling the flaming batons she's been known to twirl during Hawkeye halftime performances.
More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019. I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.
