I'm Taking the Plunge...

Here I go... after being introduced to blogging by a high school friend more than a year ago, I've played around with the idea of creating my own blog.

The funny thing about all of this is that when my friend told me she had a blog, I had to ask my husband what a blog was. He was astonished to find out I did not know what it was. I'm not exactly a computer nerd, but I worked in the Computer Lab in my dorm when I was in college and since moving into the work force, have been the go to girl for just about all things computer. If I didn't know the answer, I could find it. However, the all things computer just covered basic computer knowledge. How to save, how to import files, how to recover stuff you thought was lost. Microsoft Word and Excel applications and an occasional Power Point presentation. When it come to the internet, I could shop, do email and surf with the best of them. But... put together a web page, or even think about hosting a blog? Nope, no way, out of my scope of things. Besides, who would want to read about what I do?

Besides, reading the blogs are much more fun. I get to live vicariously through other people. Then it hit me one night as I was waiting for my husband to get home and reading through the regular list of blogs I enjoy to see what was happening... the people that I am reading about really are no different than I am. Just people who want to share with other people what is going on in their life. I look at it as kinda a living diary. Only with people who don't hesitate to give it back to you!

So, gradually the idea has grown and as I sit here the day after Thanksgiving with my son at Grandma's, my husband at work and time on my hands, I decided to take the plunge. Here is my shot to ramble on and to see if someone else thinks I have a life to live vicariously through.
