It's About Time...

Man....the pressure was on...I have been contemplating starting a blog for quite some time now, but just have not been able to make myself sit down and do it. By no accident I'm sure, in the last 18 hours both my sister-in-law and my sister just sent me the links to their newly started blogs....I guess I had no other choice but to "join the club" so to speak. I love the world of blogging for the easy opportunity it provides to stay in touch with friends and family and keep up with what's happening in their lives. I also love the world of blogging for the chance I get to read the blogs of innocent strangers whom I don't even know who happen to be hilarious and bring me a great laugh or two. I certainly do not possess the wit or charm or eloquence of some of my fellow-bloggers, but I just wanted to have a place to jot down my thoughts and experiences....life, my precious family, and the world as we know it...those will be my topics...it may not be of interest to another living soul on this planet, but that's ok. Perhaps the grandparents will enjoy seeing regularly posted pics of the kids, or maybe the kids will one day grow up and be glad their mom did SOMETHING to preserve the memories of their childhood (since their baby books are FAR from up-to-date and I simply cannot bring myself to jump into the world of scrapbooking, mostly because my friends are so good at it that I know mine would look like poo compared to theirs...but that's another story...), or maybe I'll just have a chance to "think out loud" every now and then. And what person, especially a woman, in this day and age doesn't need that?? So there you have it....I've done it....I've started my own blog!
