Decisions. Decisions.

So I set the whole thing up, then I panicked and didn't know what to do with it.

Also, it occured to me that the template I chose was rather stuffy and pretentious and I knew a moment (or three) of regret.

Best to pretend it never happened.

But a conversation with friend this morning got me thinking about what I had started 2 full months ago, and I was inspired to come back and poke around for a while--see if any of it felt more natural a second time around.

It took me a full 25 minutes to deduce the exact combination of username and password that I used the day I opened the account. (Note to self--in future, write these things down, for fuck's sake!!!)

I'm still just as stumped as to what to do here. Go public with friends and family? Keep it entirely for myself? I don't know. On the one hand--what's the point of doing it if no one's ever going to read it? On the other hand--only a selective amount of bitching can be done depending on the audience you invite to drop by.

Nothing's set in stone. For now I'm just puttering. Apparently I have commitment issues.

There but for the grace of God.....

I'm starting this blog against my better judgement. I want one, you see. I've been wanting one for quite some time now. But I'm fairly certain I have nothing very interesting or unique to add to the staggering array of blogs already out there. Also--consistency has not traditionally been one of my strong points, so there's a very good chance this little project will only seem attractive to me for the next fortnight or two.

Still--it is an excellent way to practice writing, to journal my life and my childrens' childhoods, to unload and unwind. And really, given the afore mentioned multitude of already established, quality blogs out there to choose from, there's very little chance of anyone stumbling upon my little corner of the ethernet to poke fun, or criticize, or worse, demand accountability.

So with that little caveat, I begin.......
