Getting Started...

Let me tell you, getting this blog set up and going was definitely an adventure - and certainly a test of my patience. I have played with layouts, colours, templates - all so I can create the perfect representation of my 'life' online. As you can imagine, I gave up and settled on this - for now. I will probably continue to play with it and may even venture into the closet of my coding skills (I surprisingly do have a few) and create my own template just to be sure that I am properly represented. But to be honest - things will probably stay like this for awhile.

So, I am sure (if anyone is actually reading this) that you're wondering why all the drama - why chronicle the adventure that is my life - who could possibly be interested in reading that?? Well, for starters me, and then there is ... oh yeah, me, and well ok maybe my mom some day. But, seriously, I like to write but don't do it enough; I like to tell stories about the craziness that finds me; I work in technology and have dabbled in blogging but have never found a topic that really sticks. SOLUTION: A blog where I get to WRITE all my stories. How fun!! Perhaps I will come back to this in 10 years and wonder WTF I was doing as I reached the end of my twenties and toppled drunkenly into my 30s. Perhaps I will look back with nostalgia for all the wonderful times I am sure I will have. Perhaps I will share it with my teenage children some day so they can see that their mom wasn't really a complete nutcase - just a girl that had a penchent for finding the crazy. Whatever the result I plan to enjoy it & record it all for posterity. What better journal than the one you can hide in plain sight for the world to read or ignore as they see fit.

If you like it and want to follow my adventures, read on. If not, well your loss!!

Until next time...
