and so it begins...

I've always wanted to write.  I, of course, always thought that my English papers were stellar; my teachers may or may not have agreed, but that could have had something to do with my hatred of research, inability to concentrate on proper MLA format, and all around self righteousness.  The fact that one of my favorite author's is J D Salinger, who writes in a stream of consciousness that befuddles even the best critics, probably has something to do with the distaste for my writing.  Although I may do my best, emulating his writing style is difficult to say the least.  The best part of blogging though could just be that I don't have to sit and write that novel I've had in my head for the last five years, I can just put my opinion out there and see what happens.  Considering the random shooting thoughts that cross my brain on a daily basis, I should warn the content you follow may or may not make sense day to day, but then again, I've been known to spend 3 hours with someone and not complete a conversation.  I do have to thank my very good friend Jeanne McCullough (follow her at Adventuresinmommyhood2009.blogspot.com) for encouraging me.  The second best part of blogging?  All of my friends and family can read my rants and raves and not have to listen to my incessant opinions of everything.  Of course, nothing is off limits so here's to hoping I don't offend anyone!

Side note: I double space after periods.  Deal.
