Future Memories

Alrighty, here we go!  One of my goals for 2011 was to become more technologically savvy.  So, Lo and Behold, here we are with my first blog post.  This comes just days after creating a Facebook business page for my insurance agency and updating my business website that has sat dormant for 3 years while I asked myself "Why doesn't anyone use my website??"  It feels good to enter the modern era of computer-based, ego-driven (I felt so popular when my FB friend number topped 200!!) information sharing.  Don't worry, I don't plan to go too political with my posts!

In actuality, I have no idea what this is going to be.  A way to share my thoughts with family and friends?  Yes.  A way to vent? No doubt.  A diary of sorts to keep track of important events and little details that I will likely forget as time rolls on?  Hopefully.  I am realizing that as kid #1 approaches the 6 year mark and kid #2 just passed the 3 year post, I haven't done a very thorough job of tracking the funny sayings, doings, or makings of the offspring.  And while I have saved enough lovey-dovey, sappy anniversary, birthday, just because cards to and from my husband to open up a Hallmark store, my memory gets cluttered with the heaps of new passages that are piled on each year.  To remember what it was like to be young, newly wed and BORED...oh my gosh, can anyone with kids remember what it felt like to be bored?!

Anyway, I figure this is a much more appropriate place to post my often inappropriate thoughts than Facebook.  There is nothing like throwing out a weird rant on FB and then realizing nobody had a thing to say.  Ya know people saw it, but then you start of over-analyze the fact that no one said anything and then question whether you should have posted it in the first place.  (My mother has informed me that I have posted "unnecessary" things on FB before).  So, here you have it!  An open pasture for the words to run wild! 

Once upon a time, I wanted to be a writer.  Instead, I became an insurance agent.  Not too far off, right?  Needless to say, I could use a creative outlet.  If you want to be mildly entertained and often grateful you are in your own shoes and not mine, feel free to tag along on my little journey.  We will see where it goes!!
