Trying this out....

I never really thought I would create a blog.....for many reasons. The first (and main) being that it would become addictive and take up too much of my time (I mean, I have a stack of books I want to read, pictures I need to go through, a recipe book I want to organize - as well as a list of other projects I want to try to complete, so in creating this blog, obviously, I'm not checking anything off my list of "things to do"). BUT....I so enjoy reading family and friends blogs. PLUS, I'm hoping that since Chris is in Iraq right now, when he does have access to a computer/internet.....that he may be able to access this and see some pictures faster than it takes to snail mail things to him, so....all in all - despite all of the reasons that I didn't want to create one, it seemed like a good time. So, this is me starting my blog...and my list of "things to do" is getting longer and longer.....
