Here goes nothing...

I always told myself, and friends, I would start a blog whenever Andrew and I started a family and write about my ups and downs throughout the entire experience. I wanted to use it as a way to keep people I do not keep in touch with as often, updated with this oh-so-busy-crazy-thing-I-like-to-call-life... and also use it for myself, to document my life so that I can look back and do what I do best... get all nostalgic about the good-ol'-days. ::Tear:: (Did I mention I haven't had a GOOD cry in like two years!! ... We'll save that for another entry...)

WRITERS NOTE:  I suck at proper grammar and punctuations, commas, etc. when I write.  I know how it SHOULD look, but when I write, if I am not turning in a paper I do not pay much attention... I write how I speak!  Oh, did I mention I L-O-V-E to use ellipses??  YES... I do! If these are the types of things that you, as a reader, just cannot bring yourself to get past while reading my entries, then please stop reading here...

I got really enthused, excited, and eager about this blog and set up a page (back in August). I decided I would just start writing about my thoughts. Thoughts were expected just to flow out my mind and I would have enough of them to write a blog entry a day! RIGHT? YES, I was on a roll with these expectations...  I thought they would just flow. (Trust me, this brain never stops... even in my sleep, it is going 100 miles per hour!!)  I think I made at least ten attempts that went a little like this: Sitting down in front of computer...Body Position: Indian Style (my favorite)... Hot Tea to the Left of Computer... Blog Opened... Fingers Ready... Ready... Ready.... YEP, got nothing!  Laptop cover ::SHUTS:: ...Maybe tomorrow...

I do not consider myself an excellent writer, or a writer at all for that matter... sometimes most of the time I find it hard to put into words everything that is going on in my mind.  I write the way I think, and speak what's on my mind... which sometimes gets me in trouble. I will try to be objective in my writing (yeah right... but really, I will try to see both sides with controversial issues).  Okay, lets be realistic... this blog will be VERY subjective, but it will be me through and through.  I think this will be a great way to practice expressing what I am thinking and in the mean time, keep friends and family in touch with my thoughts, experiences, and life in general!  ...Well, my not-so-exciting life, but hopefully it will be enough to keep you reading! ;)  Here's to hoping...
