After people telling me for years that I should start a blog, and after creating a Blogger profile 4 years ago that I never posted anything to, I've finally decided to give it a shot.

So here goes....

I have had ten thousand ideas of things that I should blog about and naturally now that I am in front of a glowing white screen, my brain has decided to suppress anything that has happened in my life beyond the last 2 hours.

That being said, I will simply use this post as my de-virginization (is that a word?) in the blogging world.  I won't spend time right now writing an "about me" type of post because I hope to commit to this long term and I think you will get to know me quite well over time (and for those of you that already know me, that's kind of pointless anyway).  

I look forward to this journey.  I warn you though that I am not a writer, so please keep an open mind and forgive any literary faux pas.  I hope I can provide insight, advice, humor, and kind words and I hope I can learn and grow from this as well.  

I currently have my mom, a niece, and two nephews swirling around me ready to watch Despicable Me for the 829th time (we love Minions in our family-more on that later).  I also currently have an unopened bottle of Dreaming Tree Crush wine waiting to be poured so now that my blog cherry has been popped, I will take to the wine and family for the evening. 

I hope you enjoy your Saturday evening, I know that I will.

Cheers,

Deborah
