I have an announcement.

&nbsp;

You may have noticed that this blog has hovered around The Year of Play looooonnnnng past 365 days.  I've mentioned before that changes are a-brewin' behind the scenes of Diary of a Late Bloomer.  It's all terribly exciting.  To me, at least.

&nbsp;

And now for the announcement.  May I have a drumroll, please?

&nbsp;

<strong>I am dreaming up an E-Course.  Woot x 2!</strong>

&nbsp;

The topic of the E-Course is still very hush-hush, but what I can tell you is that it has FINALLY moved out of dreamer stage and into action stage.  Eternal dreamer that I am, this is a big step.  Woot x 3!

&nbsp;

Action Step #1:  The Outline.

&nbsp;

As a former educator of 16 years, I get giddy over outlines.  You should have seen my lesson plans back in the day.  Outlined to the hilt.

&nbsp;

During the outline process for my E-Course, I am combing through the archives of The Year of Living Curiously.  Reminiscing over <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/01/16/day-109-i-composed-my-six-word-memoir-whats-yours/" target="_blank"><strong>this post</strong> </a>stopped me dead in my tracks.

&nbsp;

So what does all of this have to do with my Half Birthday?

&nbsp;

Bear with me here.  I am Queen of the Tangents.  I know this about myself.

&nbsp;

In an attempt to redeem myself from Half Birthday Dorkdom, I will say that I don't go big or go home with cake, presents and balloons on my Half Birthday.  I do feel a little Half Birthday rush of joy and make a mental note of where I am at in my year, and what I would like to celebrate in the next 6 months.

&nbsp;

As a Happy Half Birthday to Me, I am requesting a do-over!

&nbsp;

And I have decided to change/edit/obliterate my halfway depressing Six-Word Memoir.

From March 15th 2013 and onward, my NEW and IMPOR
