Start the insanity

Yeah, she’s back. I stopped blogging over at Kindred Spirits a few months back because I was over-working at my day job. I also quit because I felt like I was continuing to do it simply out of guilt. Guilt about what, I don’t know!! Recently, my friend, Marlene (who has an AMAZING blog about her son, by the way) encouraged me to start my own. So, I mulled it over in my mind. Would it turn into another guilt-trip where I felt like I HAD to post something so many times a week? Or could I just use it as an outlet and place to talk about what’s going on in my life and thoughts? Well, I’m attempting for it to be the second, but who knows how successful I will be. I admit that, when blogging over at KS, I had to filter my posts. I had to always think about my fellow kindred spirits and worry about what they may think of what I had to say. That was cheating, I think. So, I just widdled it down to posting a few censored links every week and calling it good. It was lame….and unfair to the girls, the readers, and myself. Maybe there is a new-found freedom in a personal blog. I don’t know. I guess I’ll try it out and see.

So, here I go. I’m not promising consistency or originality or delicacy or intelligence or wit. It’s just me jotting down a few ideas or thoughts in an attempted intelligible way. I AM a computer programmer, so don’t expect too much in the creative or grammatically correct categories. I also have a great knack for starting things and never finishing them. My list of unfinished, unrefined hobbies is staggeringly long…believe me. So, keep your expectations low and check back again sometime!
