moving day.

Because, this time, I'm ACTUALLY doing the thing. Yeah, I half-assed it last time. Not now.
I'm totally WHOLE-ASSING it this time!

~~~~~

Wow, this feels weird.  But oddly right.  A little bittersweet though.  Oh, who am I kidding? -- It's a LOT bittersweet.

On these pages of Life Candy, I've shared many of the fun and funny things my gorgeous little family and I have experienced over the past 8 years.  We've grown up together over the years.  Do you remember what it used to look like?

Oooh, aaah...

You've laughed with me, and occasionally at me (it's okay -- I find myself in ridiculous predicaments a lot... especially with these clowns I live with), and it's been such a blessing to have you all here commenting your funny comments and hanging out on my online home.

It's like having you over at my real house, but not really, which is good, because, you know, COVID. And I'm an introvert.  I don't like people in my hermit cave except the creatures who actually live here with me.  So, if I haven't invited you over to my actual house, it's not you -- it's me.  I mean that.

But I digress.  Where was I?  Oh yeah.

Today, I officially say goodbye to Life Candy.  

Oh, she'll still be here.  She'll continue to be a source of joy in the future for me, for my family, and for many who Google "rectum cloths" or "bill campbell" and end up here, reading about my "cycles" and cutting nipple holes into shirts for job interviews.

Good times, good times...

As the title to this post suggests, I'm moving on to different things... a new blog.

But why?

Primarily, my little blog fodder have grown up a little and really aren't as willing to do the crazy-ass shi*t that kept you coming back in the past.
My children are in their teen years, and I've decided to hand over the management of their own interweb/social-media presence where it belongs... with them.  I'm okay with it.  They're savvy, somewhat paranoid, and tend not to overshare... unlike me a parent of theirs who shall remain nameless.

Oh, I'll still occasionally blog about them in my new place.  Just not as much.

My scientist-guy husband, on the other hand, can't get away that easily.
He says I'm stuck with him, but we all know he's stuck with me.

Ahem, anyway...

To continue to blog under Life Candy doesn't feel right any more.  If I'm being completely transparent, it hasn't felt like me for a LONG time.

It's like wearing control-top panty hose.  It looks good, but it's not entirely real, sometimes uncomfortably twisted around one leg, bunchy around the crotchal region, and going to the bathroom can be such a nightmare, especially when your skirt gets stuck in it, and...

Damn it.  So...

I have a new blog home!  And I'm so EXCITED!!!  

It's comfy.  And I'm all about the comfy.
It'll be all about my crazy fun experiments to improve my life, adventures with family and friends, weird things that somehow happen to me, and the everyday joys of being a girl.
It's like Life Candy, except with less sweet and more cowbell.
I'm so excited to share it with you! So, head on over to...

If you loved it here, you'll love it there!

Thank you for coming and allowing me to share my life with you here at Life Candy.
Hope you jump over with me!

  2. Nen - I remember when I said Au Revoir County Girl and Hello Chez Rougie. We grow and changes sometimes those changes require a new platform to reflect the new identity. Even if it's scary realizing the old one doesn't fit any more. Congratulations - Life Candy means a lot to me. You were one of the first bloggers I connected with and you became part of an amazing circle that supported me at a time I needed it most. Oh - and you made me laugh. A lot. So a toast to Life Candy, and a toast the new blog. Cheers honey - I am so proud of you and can't wait to see what you do next!
