Alright... I cave!

So, I'm giving in. After months and months of hearing about and reading other blogs, I'm finally caving. I have to admit, however, that for some odd reason this is a lot harder than I expected it to be. I actually set up my account on blogger like a month ago, and from time to time I come to look at my very empty blog and try to convince myself to get started. But, even with all of the millions of things that I would like to talk about, I find myself totally speechless. So here I am, on a day that is absolutely no different from any other day, and I'm totally caving.

It all began with my sister who lives up in Washington. (I know you're reading this right now, Shayla... Hi!) I really owe it all to her. Both my desire to start blogging and my absurd fear of it. I love reading her blogs and hearing about her days and it got me all excited to start my own, and then I'd think a little harder and realized that the reason I loved her blogs was because she was so freakin' good at it! She never fails to me make me laugh, if only because I can relate so ridiculously to half the things she says. She's an amazing writer and it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps my blogs wouldn't be nearly as much fun as hers. And then, back to the other hand, I think of how much I miss her and with life being so crazy and things getting in the way, her blog in many ways makes me feel like the gap between states isn't quite as large. So here I am, trying to close the gap a little more... between her and perhaps anybody else who stumbles upon my craziness.

Shayla was telling me that a good way to begin blogging is by doing the whole "100 Things About Me" post. Which, by the way, when I really start thinking about it too hard, I can come up with, like... 3. Don't laugh... it's a work in progress. So, that's my goal for now. We'll see how that goes!
