First off, thank God there is a spell check on this thing! While I enjoy writing and I often experience an euphoric state after my more passionate pontifications, most of the time the words I truly wanted to use are not contained in the piece because of my horrific inability to spell. This, I am sure is just the first of many of my faults I will reveal within this blog.
Second, why blog at all? It is my husband's fault. I love this man deeply, but alas, he is often at the center of my more hair brained ideas in one form or another. I have recently turned 40 and as many of us do, I am going through a bit of a crisis. Not the get a sports car or squeeze on the side crisis, but one of the "what the hell am I going to be when I grow up" variety. For the last 10 years I have been a mom. I wouldn't change that and being so has definitely played a role in shaping who I am but I am at the point that I am ready to be something more. Not sure what that more is, but I know there is a more.
So, during my latest tirade in the car as I am bitching about something or another and my absolute disgust in the lack of real information on the subject and that we should all know the truth about what really happens during whatever situation has stirred my constantly bubbling pot, my husband simply states, "why don't you write a book about it then". God how I hate when that man is right.
Although after a little thought and knowing my limited time resources, because did I mention that I am a mom? I decided that instead of delving into my great all American, I can't believe you didn't write this sooner, it changed my life novel, I will begin instead with a blog. Give this writing thing a test drive if you will. This is my midlife sports car and I am going to kick the tires a bit, take her for a spin and see how fast I can get this baby to go.
Thanks for coming on the test drive with me.
