Because I am sure that the universe is waiting with baited breath to know my thoughts and feelings on every blessed thing on the planet...I'm entering blogger world.
Seriously though, I am less than 3 weeks away from turning 36 and I'm feeling a bit of an itch to start doing some more things that are good for me and good for the world so here I be - creating a place in the Intarwebs for me to keep track of that and perhaps share some of what I'm up to.
I started a photography class this week I am so very excited about it! I have never been much of an artist but I feel like I have a bit of an artist's soul somewhere in me. One of the few ways that I have been able to express that soul has been through photography but sadly I haven't picked up anything more than a point and shoot camera in damn near 20 years (ok, probably 18 but who's counting?) so I have a camera back in my hands and it feels good. Now I need a nice day so I can go out and take some pictures! The fun thing about this new fangled technology is that I don't have to drop cash and take time to see the results of my pictures . I fully intend to share the fruits of my labour with you.
I love cooking. I love eating too (more than I should!) but I love cooking and I love to try new recipes. My natural inclination is not to gravitate towards traditionally "good for you" foods so I like to find ways to make my favourite things in a more healthy way. How I wish apples called to me more than Devil Dogs but alas and alack -- I have to find ways to make things that are good for me that I want to eat. In that spirit, my mom and I are going to join a CSA this year. Once we're all accepted to the one I picked, I'll certainly share the bounty (har!) but I am hoping it will inspire me to not only cook more but to eat better and eat better things for me.
I love travelling. In that department, I was blessed to spend a month in Germany last summer and a month in Utah. Both were fantastic experiences. I would love to do a big trip this year but I am not sure it is in the cards so I shall focus on some small trips. If nothing else I want to get to Nova Scotia this summer as I didn't get there last year and my family has a home there. And I need to go to Ireland. Need. Not want. Need.
I have a goal to complete 2 1/2 marathons this year which means I need to get off my duff and prepare and sign up and stuff. Perhaps this blog will help me be accountable.
Other than that -- I think we'll have random musings around here. Please comment, please join in and welcome.

Ummm. totally cute!
Yay! I've missed you. Maybe I'll be inspired to update mine more often.
Let's go to Paris!!!! SERIOUSLY! We can help the global economy. LOL
Hey! Wow..it sounds like we could catch up on a LOT!!! It sounds like you are really living life! So good to hear from you. There have been many times when I've wondered where you were in the world or what you were doing. I haven't ventured into the blogging world yet...but I have reasons for that. The things I'd like to most vent about, I wouldn't want certain people to see and of course, this being the internet, anyone can. I mean, I can find topics to discuss, experiences to share that would be safe but the true me always wants to express herself!
We MUST catch up. I look forward to reading more of your blogs.
