But Mama, everybody's doing it. All my friends have one. I'm the only person I know that doesn't have one. I promise I'll feed and water it. I'll finish what I start. I'll STICK WITH IT. I won't leave it on the shelf to gather dust.
Okay, so now I have one, a blog, that is, so I promise that six months from now I won't find it all dusty under the couch and say, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." After all I have lots of stuff to write about. I'm not just any old boring grandma of 3 (soon 4), approaching her 5th decade of life in the process of adopting from China. How many grandmas do you know that climb in and out of their bedroom windows? Of course I wasn't happy about that, but when you come home late Sunday night after a weekend trip and find out that your husband has refinished the wood flooring in front of your bedroom and the only way in is through the bedroom window, there are not many choices. After saying, "I have to do WHAT?", I could have a) found a new home and a saner husband, b) gone to the 24 hour WalMart and tried to replicate what I needed to survive the work week, or c) climbed through the bedroom window. I thought "C" was the best choice until the next morning when the husband informs me that I need to hurry up and get ready because he has to take the ladder to work. All I can say is that climbing out of bedroom windows is a lot more fun when you're sixteen and wearing blue jeans. Not that I did that, of course.

Welcome to the world of blogging! I never thought I would have much to say on a blog, and actually, I don't have too much to say. But hey, the best part is that it doesn't matter if anyone reads it as long as you had a chance to say it, right? And isn't your bedroom like 20 feet off the ground?
G-Daddy says it is 10 feet off the ground but it might as well be 20. I'm petrified of heights.
Yea! I finally read your blog and put your link on my page. Isn't this fun??
