Going Back to My Original Plan…
In the “About Me” section, I described why I started a blog. Well, I have to put my original idea into action. In my head, the idea of reaching out, filling my life with new ideas and experiences, and sharing these adventures was great! In my head, everything comes about so smoothly and easily. Then reality starts to kick in. I admit that I am a little nervous about putting myself out there. Once I post my idea on a Facebook page, what will happen? Will I embarrass myself?

Happy Birthday to Me!
Birthdays come each year (stating the obvious). Some approach the date with dread. I choose to make the most of it. I tell people that as I get older, I just get better and use more hair coloring. Saying that, most years I choose to throw myself a party. This is usually a potluck brunch. Chaos is a part of this process each year. Why, then, do I do it? There are several reasons. First of all, having plans for guests is a great way to inspire more housecleaning than what would otherwise take place. I have learned in my house that having a neat house so that it is…
If it's not illegal, immoral, or blatantly stupid, I am willing to give it a try!
