I decided to do some renovations to this blog. They won't be anything major and they won't involve a lot of drywall dust (thankfully). In doing so, I tried to rewrite the "About this Blog" section. Finding that a bit of a challenge, I went back to the first entry for guidance. It's from March 10, 2010. It still holds true in describing this blog. If there are any suggestions for further renovations, please let me know and I will consider incorporating them (as long as they don't involve new drywall). Thank you.
And thank you for reading even one entry in my blog. It means a lot.
And So It Begins...
I'm blogging. Wow.
So, for all of you who are reading this, hi. I will go over a few things today to explain why we are here. It sounds so formal. It won't be.
First of all, I feel a need to express what's in me. Whatever that is. Maybe we'll find out.
Second, I want people to feel connected. If there's something about me that can help other people on their journeys, I want to help them. I want to share. It's not nice feeling isolated, like you're the only one with a problem or concern or experience. I know.
I don't want this blog to be all heavy though. I have a sense of humour. You'll see that. I enjoy laughing and I enjoy making people laugh. I'm a big fan of Gary on Spongebob Squarepants. He's an exemplary snail. I have, at various points in my life, set up a room in my house specifically for sock matching and, on a completely unrelated note, I have named a pumpkin. The sock matching room didn't help. And despite the love and affection I bestowed on my pumpkin, it succumbed to cold weather on Halloween night. Steve became compost.
I'm a Mum, a friend, a daughter, a neighbour, a reader, a wannabe writer (I love writing) and, oh, there must be more. I have some neurotic tendencies and I don't keep the cleanest house. I mean to though. I'm in a Book Club and I'm trying to lose weight. Those last 2 items are rather contradictory because we have really good food at our Book Club meetings. I love to bake and am repelled my cooking. I bought a slow cooker. My husband used it once. We know it works.
So, that's my first blog posting. Stay tuned. Please come back. We'll have fun.
Thank you for reading.
