Well, I just finished a shot of Johnnie Walker Black Label and decided to go for it. I've been pondering this step for weeks now, and well, I've decided with the help and encouragement from some others, to go for it!
I'm supposed to be working on my taxes. I'm not, yet. I will, I will, but not yet. This is the latest that I've ever attacked that particular task. I am just not feeling it this year. My son (24-SR in college, living at home) announced today; "Saturday, you're helping me with my taxes." Never mind that I've done his taxes every year since he was 16. This year, though he had decided that he should take matters into his own grown up hands. I can get with that. I relinquinshed all files and let go. Well, he took the files, stored them in his room for a few weeks, until now, when he announced... I'm more than happy to help. I did have something else to do Saturday, though. Ah well.
Tonight, (this morning actually in CST), I'm choosing to start this blog. 'Tis fitting as the reading and marveling over a number of blogs for the past few months have immeasurably upset a carefully designed organizational flow.
I don't know what tone this blog will take. Obviously, since I'm a mom of two adults living at home, that element will be here. I am also an only daughter (2 brothers) with the whole boy-girl child AND middle child stuff going on. I've got mother-daughter issues as I have a daughter and I am a daughter. Who knows where this thing will go.
I do know that I have been humored, thrilled, fascinated, educated, saddened and just plain interested in the array of what I've encountered in blog land over these past few months.
So, here I blog. Welcome to my rendering of my world. I'm not quite sure where I'm going, but I do hope the ride will be vigorous, entertaining and enlightening.
Wednesday, March 29th 2006 * So, here I still blog. So many changes but some things remain the same. I thought then, that I would enjy blogging--I wish more of the folks I read then were still around, but new bloggers have filled the void. Thank you to all who visit here. Your presence is a joy.
Useless trivia: You started your blog on my birthday!
ReplyDeleteI always love reading the first entry of someone's blog. :)
Still fun to know you bounced back to the beginning. And here I am raising the issue again. :-)
DeleteOh yeah, taxes. I guess I should get on that...
ReplyDeleteGood to see Jane is blogging. Yay.
DeleteHappy blog birthday!
ReplyDeleteI was a little late to the party but have enjoyed it ever since.
And yeah, taxes. This year I told my 23 year old daughter to learn do her own. But I also need to get my butt in gear.
Thank you 8. I have enjoyed having you over and visiting your place as well.
DeleteThat was then. NOW? Mine have been done for weeks and his? No idea. He is a 30 something now and well, won't / can't share that part of his life with me.
Happy Blogiversary! I admit, I was a little surprised that you were sitting down with a shot of Johnny Walker... I mean, it's a Wednesday/work day! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'll have to look at my taxes too. Darn it.
Thank You. As it happens March 29, 2006 ( the first post date) was a Wednesday. At 45 going on 46 I was perimenopausing and sleep, well, didn't come easy. Still doesn't. come to think of it.
