Why Blog???

Per the nudging of some rather pushy friends and my own desire to occasionally do something a little more intellectual than see how symmetrically I can cut up hot dogs, I'm giving a stab at blogging.  I'll admit that this takes me out of my 2-sentence Facebook post comfort zone, and the glass-half-empty prepubescent girl in me is sort of expecting to fail for a couple of reasons--

1.  I struggle not with committing, but with staying committed.  Without a deadline or minimum requirement, I slack...and slack... and slack.  So if I don't post again until December 2013, you'll know why.

1.  I have no idea what to write.  It seems that a great majority of potential readers are most interested in witty, slightly sarcastic humor that make some sort of amusing commentary on society as a whole.  Quite frankly, I don't know that I'm intelligent enough to come up with a post of that sort time and time again.


I'm not sure where that leaves me.... Is this a journal?  A scrapbook?  A great big editorial page?  For now, I'll write when it hits me... whatever "it" is.  Can you hear the inner right-brained, hippy English teacher in me???

So forgive my low-tech, feeble effort at a blog page (truly, I'd rather have my toenails removed without anesthesia than attempt to create another webpage).  If you like what I have to say, I'd love for you to "follow" my blog via email updates.  And even better, please feel free to comment below each post if you'd like!  I'd love to know that someone out there actually finds this whole undertaking remotely worthwhile.... if not, it's back to hot dog geometry ;)
