Resurrection

I have thought, on and off, over the last three years, about reviving this blog. Because I'm an extremely vain person, it warms my heart every time someone happens to bring it up in casual conversation. And I'd laugh and say that that was for a much younger, much more fun Meg, who, unfortunately, has been replaced by Law School Meg, who likes to suck the fun out of everything. But a recent series of events has caused me to reconsider the blog. First, Luke's naming his 2014 fantasy football team "Rex Has Big Ideas." I'm not sure if the name was a play on the blog (I think it was - we all remember Greg's Got Mediocre Ideas, which was another attempt to elbow in on my territory). At any rate, no, Luke, Rex does not have big ideas, and let's stop pretending he does. Second, I have a lot of time to fill now that I'm on the back end of law school, and there are only so many TV shows I can watch at one time (though Amazon Prime is not helping with that habit). Or maybe perhaps not so much time as inclination to not do work (I'm strenuously avoiding listening to a class recording right now). Third, and perhaps most importantly, I stumbled upon my last blog post, "The Great M&M Debate," in which I panned the (then-new) pretzel M&Ms. This shocked and dismayed me, as pretzel M&Ms are one now one of my favorite things in life. So, naturally, I was moved to resurrect this blog to defend the honor of pretzel M&Ms, and also to note the advent of other pretzel-chocolate combination products, like Milano slices. Though I have yet to try them, they look like they are going to be my new favorite thing. Thanks, Mom, for finding those.

In all seriousness, I stumbled upon this blog again and had to laugh. Who was this person, and where did she get off having a blog? Reading through the posts was like stepping back in time and I vividly remember all of the thoughts and emotions that went behind each post. I've had a lot of changes in my life recently and I have been seeking to recapture some of myself that I think got lost along the way. I feel like I'm at a good place for the first time in what feels like years, and that feeling helps drive new material. Plus, I've never stopped having big thoughts, and I'm vain enough to think you want to hear them, too. So here's to a new chapter of the blog, and all of the big ideas that will come with it.
