HAPPY 2010!!!

I've been wanting to create a blog for a long time, but am just now finding the time to sit down and figure everything out. You see, I'm not computer savvy, and in fact Nolan often teases me, saying that I am "afraid of technology," which I constantly argue, however his statements are partially true. I have never "gotten along with" computers, and they always seem to "encounter an error" and "need to close" when I'm working on something REALLY important! There's always the option of "reporting the problem," but at that point I've usually lost 1) anything I was working on (which conveniently I hadn't saved in the past 45 minutes) 2) I've definitely lost my patience and 3) I am ready to throw the computer out the window!! So believe me when I say that what you now see before you is a work that has been in progress for the past 3 days. I was getting so desperate in trying to set it up that I was looking for a "blogger hotline" number to call for assistance!!

So here's my blog. I'm not really sure what I'll be posting on, or if you as the reader will even find it interesting (because I can promise you that my life isn't thrilling), but I hope to have some thought provoking moments and some entries that might make you crack a smile or even laugh a little. I would like to be able to say that I will post every day, however, I've already made a few New Year resolutions, so I can't make any more promises that could very possibly be broken...plus I would hate to disappoint anyone who might be an avid follower! :)

I would also like to put this warning out there for those of you who aren't familiar with my writing (especially any of my English teacher friends):

1) I tend to write in stream of consciousness...with a lot of ellipses...and my friends from PT school know this well!

2) I also like to use exclamation points - even at inappropriate times!!!

3) I will probably not always use correct grammar, and possibly even misspell a few words every now and then, but knowing that people will be reading this, I would like to at least sound half-educated!

4) I'm sure I have comma splices like crazy...enjoy them! :)

So here's to a WONDERFUL 2010! I hope that everyone's new year is off to a blessed start! I, myself, know that I have so many, MANY things and people to be thankful for!
