First Official Post

Ok, so here I am...and this is my first official blog post.

I have to admit, I've been a "blog snooper" for quite some time now. I click from a friends blog, to their friends blog, and then their friends blog, and then to another random blog that they follow, and so on, and so on. I'm not sure what the attraction is. I know that one thing I've found for sure is that there are a lot of women just like me in this world...married, kid(s), job, house, desire for a life :)...etc. I've also found some pretty cool blogs that have really caught my attention like this one here.

So with all of this "blog snooping" I thought to myself "maybe you should start your own blog". So, I got myself all set up on Blogger, set up my profile, found my profile picture, and then...nothing. I came up with a blog name, but I'm not too fond of it. I've thought about a "theme" for my blog, but not sure that I want to go in that direction. I've thought about various posts for my blog, but haven't had a chance to really "put pen to paper" so to speak. And I guess I've found that I'm really the kind of person that if I can't do things exactly as I think they should be the first time around, then I won't do them at all. To be honest, I'm not really sure how many people I'll tell about having a blog just yet. I may post this and let it sit. I may even end up deleting it if I think it sounds funny after I've posted it. But, then I think to myself...this is me. This blog can be a place where I can express myself. I like to write, but haven't done it in like a million years. I like to entertain people, tell funny stories and be humorous, but I don't always have the right audience. So maybe this is the place for all of that. Maybe this is the best place to let the thoughts flow...share random thoughts and ideas. I'm not sure who I'll be sharing with...as I've said, I haven't decided that yet.

I guess what I'm also hesitant about is the fact that people that read this might want to comment on my posts. I know, I know...I can turn the comment section off. But maybe part of me wants to hear what people have to say about my posts, while another part of me could care less to hear what people think about me! And maybe some of my thoughts that flow here are for myself...which I guess would be better left for a diary right?! These are all thoughts that have run through my mind as I've thought about how to go about this blogging thing.

Another thing that has kept me from moving forward is time. Did you know that there are only something like 84,600 seconds in a day?! That may sound like a lot, but in my world, those seconds just seem to fly by. I've already got another website up and going here if you want to check it out. It's kind of a family thing and place to post pictures (more on that later). But it's something that I keep up specifically for our family, and more specifically for Logan and it's a place to post our pictures. But I haven't had a lot of time lately to keep it updated. So I'm worried that I'm now venturing out into blog land and am committing myself to keep something else maintained.

Along with the time issue, the last thing that has made me balk at this whole blogging thing is the fact that I maybe get about 10 seconds of absolute quiet time each day. And, as you can imagine, it's nearly impossible to do any reasonable thinking, much less typing in that amount of time! More on this later...if there is a later when it comes to this blog!

So, here I type...the longest posting that you'll probably ever see on here...and the only one for now! If you've made it here, it means that I wanted to share this with you...if you've made it this far in the post, it means you either have nothing better to do, or you were hoping for a more exciting ending! Happy reading... :)
