Okay, so even though I ask my kids the cliche' question, "If 'everyone else' jumped off a bridge, would you jump, too?" I decided to start a blog because everyone else seems to have one! Oh, and because I love to write, and it's something I haven't made much time for over the past several years. I used to dream of becoming an author one day...I'm just missing two things: ambition, and the time to write anything of quality. So I guess blogging will have to do.
Questions I have asked myself:
1) Will anyone read this? (Doubt it!)
2) Do I have anything to say? (Debatable--if you say something and no one is listening, does that count? Like the old joke, "If a man says something in the forest and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?")
3) What's the point? (To get a chance to talk without seeing people zone out and/or roll their eyes--that oughta be refreshing!)
Quite frankly, I like to talk! And it's WAY easier to find things to talk about than people to listen to me. Why am I such a blabbermouth?! A couple of theories:
--I consider myself remotely intelligent and interesting.
--Everything reminds me of a story and I feel compelled to share an anecdote.
--I was a lonely kid and had a vivid imagination and talked to myself and my invisible twin sister quite a bit.
--I'm insecure and need attention.
--I'm somewhat witty and want others to think so, too!
(By the way, my favorite thing about myself is my modesty!!!!! ha ha)
So anyway, here I go...
I know my blog page looks like the pre-fab template kit (because it is), but I don't know jack about computers and it's all baby steps for me...
