Whew!! Well, I've finally made it to this point...I'm not talking about having a "blog" of my own now, but just basically getting to this point of writing my very first post! Who would have thought that creating a simple blog {because everyone can do that} would cause as much utter frustration as it did me these past few days? Well, I'm telling you, I didn't think that. Jeepers with blogs popping up all over the place, and everyone seeming to have not just one, but several, I asked myself, "how hard could it be?" I'm fairly proficient with the computer, {I said fairly, and I realize that is pretty broad}, but this whole blog thing was a bit more than a "fairly proficient with the computer" project for me to to tackle! What have I learned as my "take away" today?
  1. my boys have no idea why I'm not fixing them dinner tonight {sorry!}
  2. that I'm eating any chocolate I can find...because I want a "cute" blog {how I deal with stress}
  3. that I'm not the admin of 1 blog but 3 blogs!!! Ok, I have to admit, I have no idea how that happened and when I went to try to delete those other two blogs...well, it added another layer of frustration {wish I had more chocolate!!}
  4. pinterest is so much more fun...{not to mention all those awesome chocolate recipes!}
  5. I'm determinted though, to make this work for me {cuz, I'm all out of chocolate at this point}
So, that said, I'm glad I'm to this point. It will be nice to click "publish" and jump over to my blog page and see this post....my very first!

Then, I must get some dinner around...I guess it's still early enough in the evening that I can throw something together...but, I'm not that hungry {wonder why....} and I don't like to cook when I'm not hungry. ...or I could learn a bit more about this whole blogging world...try to find a cute banner, or buttons or whatever else I may need to make this blog cute-er...cuz, it needs to be cute-er than it is.

I hope you come back and see all my new additions as I learn about everything in this blogging world there is to learn...then I can get onto why I wanted to blog in the first place and that is to be an encouragment to you to live your life TODAY! That has become a mantra, so to speak, of mine this past year as I've been ushered into a new a season of change in my life {50 birthdays has a way of doing that} I look forward to sharing that with you in later posts...

I'd tell you to sign up for email threads or something like that, or to follow me, or whatever bloggers do, but I'm fairly {there's that broad word again} sure that my page isn't set up for you to do that...I don't think...

Thanks for stopping by....

    Yes, one can "follow" you. There's a place to type in an email addy to "follow by email."

    I would say "I envy you," having your own blog and all that. I've thought about it, but who has time? There's this other thing I'm writing... curriculum for a cults class... (Oh dear! what have I gotten myself into!!)

    Seriously, though, you're off to a great start. I very much enjoyed reading it, chuckled a couple times, guffawed once (you're going to learn EVERYTHING in the blogging world there is to learn? Is there enough time?)

    And with that said, this "broad" (is that pretty broad?) is going to go... LOL :-D

    (Now I'm ROFL...)

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Sounds like an interesting curriculum! I've bought book on blogging and tend to familiaze myself with the different aspects of blogging..you're so right, not nearly enough time to learn EVERYTHING there is to learn :-) I'll try to learn what I need to learn to make this fun and hopefully enjoyable to my readers!
