Michelle has posted!
Okay, I feel like I'm spamming MKF, since I've posted everywhere about this - Announcements, forum-wide announcements, on the main blog, and JUST TO MAKE SURE people do not miss Michelle's message - she posted a wonderful holiday message this morning around 10AM PST in her profile =P - I am posting it in MK Fan Chat. It would be a shame if anyone did not see it!

Help, I can't see Michelle's message only the replies.

Yay, thanks for stopping by, Michelle!
The profile shows the most recent messages first, so you have to click on the last page to see Michelle's post. I don't think there's any way we can link directly to her post, unfortunately.Originally Posted by zins

I thought the same thing!
I’m a bit of the past, a bit of the present and, hopefully, some of the future. Michelle Kwan, April 5 2006
Ah, how lovely. And now we may begin to overanalyze and obsess over the possible meanings behind her words, as if it's a code, when likely she just had 5 minutes to spare and decided to post a friendly message.
But I'm game, so here goes....if one were to read into these things, the "I'm not sure yet what I'm doing for the New Year, but I'm sure I'll be busy" could mean she still doesn't know about a possible comeback. Really, I think this is the case either way, since I think if she truly knew 100% that she wasn't coming back (or that she is) she would own up to it. As always, I think she is taking it slow and evaluating her options and letting things come to a natural conclusion rather than force it or make rash decisions/announcements (or announcements of announcements).
Or, on the other hand, by "new year" she just meant how she was going to spend New Year's Eve.
But I liked the references to her spending time in the rink, even if it was to congratulate the little ones. Also, the "see you soon."
Loved seeing a note from Michelle. And thanks for the heads up about it!
Maybe it means she will be at Nats or Worlds??!!

Talk about jumping to conclusions. I hope you're right, but I won't hold my breath.
Michelle is a force of nature
Freakin Fantastic! Like Scootie-Hunk, I too was online when Michelle posted the last 2 years - this time I missed it...oh well.
Shame on you iloveskating! But, could it be that our Michelle will make an appearance at Nats for the Vera HOF thingy? And would she sport a Wang cocktail dress, rare Wang pants, a WEDDING dress
And a HUGE thanks to KJ for ferreting Michelle out whist she was online. Very effective, and appreciated.

It will sure be a busy year... Its 2009 LOL... I wonder why!!! LOL
PHD in Michelle Magic
Happy Holidays to you, Michelle! So glad you're getting a chance to enjoy time with your family and your friends at the rink. It sounds lovely! Thanks for thinking of us...you have definitely been missed! Thank you, also, for helping me through my PhD - I finally finished in Dec. I watched tapes of your skating when I felt like giving up, and found myself in need of courage and inspiration. You're the best!
Best wishes for the happiest and healthiest year ahead, for you and your family.
re. MK
Okay, I admit to thinking the same thing!
Also, with Vera being inducted into the USFS Hall of Fame at Nationals and Worlds being in MK's home town of LA, it makes you wonder if she'll make an appearance at one or the other (fingers crossed).

I admit to reading into the "see you soon!!" part, even noting the *two* exclamation points... and just as Miss Eggplant did, I, too, found the part about "the New Year" intriguing, lol! I'm sure she just meant the holiday itself, but... Here's hoping to "seeing" her soon!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, dearest Michelle! And thank so, so much for posting!

Oh boy an early Christmas Present. I have been as impatient for Michelle's message as my son has been to open his presents. This is always one of my favorite holiday moments, a message from Michelle.
