Deep Breath- Blog #1

Huge step, starting a blog. No Joke...
I seriously have had this on my to do list since BEFORE the 1st of the year. Pathetic, I know.
Well, in my opinion, my hesitation is responsible & it shows that I have thought this through. See, if you know me very well, you know there are two distinct sides of me. First side- extroverted, up for fun, spontaneous, maybe even a free spirit. On the other hand, I do have a side that leans to the more controlled & controlling. I will find myself making lists just to cross off jobs, planning our vacations and weekends to the minute, & pretty hesistant to try anything new until I have researched so much about it that it is no longer new. Yes, I know it sounds crazy.
What does this have to do with a blog, you ask? ALOT.
So, for my fun-loving, spontaneous side, I say why not...I've got a lot going on that I would love to share with the people I love. But then, my controlling, super duper list maker, scared of the thought of screwing up side says DON'T YOU DARE! When you start a blog, you put yourself out there. Even if it is just for your friends & family. It still is up for judging & that scares the CRAP out of me.

So, please be gentle. Feel free to judge, but know I am judging you too & take this for what its worth...a totally inexperienced, Type A (but sometimes B) personality trying to make the world a little bit better for my growing family & my fantastic friends (Not all of this is through a blog, but if you smile occasionally, I did my job).
