A Blog! Why now?

Well...here I am...my very first Blog post!

I must admit that I have resisted the "urge" to Blog for quite a while now. But, like with my initial resistance to CD's & DVD's...I think I have finally come around! LOL
It's not like I don't read other people Blogs or that I don't know how to Blog....I have been web-savvy since I got my first PC with internet 10+ years ago and have met some truly AMAZING women chatting on-line. In fact some of my longest running friendships have been with those ladies I met on-line! ((( Hi Melissa & MaryAnne ! :) )))

So, why Blog now?

Oh, I don't know...surely it isn't because I feel that I have amazing things to share...or insight into the world we live in...or the magical recipe for a happy life....

But this weekend I've felt like I needed a change...some new scenery...a new creative outlet maybe?

There are always so many things going on in my life that I often don't slow down long enough to reflect on it. Maybe now I will force myself to keep current with my own life...it sure seems that days, weeks and months fly by and I have nothing on paper to remember it by.
I do scrapbook...but really...I don't scrapbook *my* thoughts, even though I know I should. For the most part, my albums are full of pages about the kids....and usually, by the time that I get to the photos, the words I meant to write are a distant memory. So....we'll see if this helps!

Anyways...with my family and friends spread out all over the world...maybe this way I can actually stay connected with photos and the going-ons of everyday life in this crazy, procrastinating, over-committed, reality-tv loving, martini-enjoying, sleep-deprived, volunteer-aholic, caffeine-addicted persons life!

Ok, so my Blog goals are:
Slow down, write and reflect on my daily life
Expand on my journaling
Share my creations - photos, pages, cards
Keep in touch with friends and family
Make new friendships

And so it begins....so go grab your own Double-Double....and stay tuned!


PS - I REALLY hope this thing has spell-check!!!
