Hello. I have noticed some new people venturing into my space, so I thought I would reiterate my opening message from day one of this blog:
Ok, so this is not the sort of blog that, say, my sister, my mother-in-law, or any other reasonable person I know would do. (Ok, I personally wouldn't call my mother-in-law reasonable, but some people would.) It's not a family update blog or an opinion blog or a how's-my-day-been blog or whatever. It will be some of each of these, and a little of something else. Mainly, it will be a look into that frightening place that is my inner me. Oooh, ick, I know. Who wants to see the inner anybody? Not really a top desire today. I personally would rather stick my hand into a blender than to see the inner feelings of, say, my mother-in-law. So, feel free not to bother reading. I just feel like having an online diary. And if you know me and decide after reading whatever drivel comes out of my head that I am, in fact, nuts, well, it took you long enough to figure that one out, didn't it!
There. Now you all understand what I'm doing here. These are my inner thoughts/emotions/opinions/fears/joys/everything else laid bare before you. If you choose to judge me, go for it. I can take it. If you choose to worry about me, please don't. These are just the things everyone feels from time to time. I'm just being a lot more honest about it than most people. Mostly, I hope you simply choose to find some nugget of truth that makes you feel a little less strange about being, um, strange. For we are all strange in some way or another. Claim your strangeness. It's what makes you you. This blog is about what makes me me. Unapologetically.
That being said, WELCOME! Come in, sit down, have a cup of coffee or wine, toss in an opinion or a comment, whatever. Oh, and don't be frightened that I will jump down your throat for disagreeing with me. I only do that to my sisters. And, occasionally, my dad. But they all deserve it. :)
