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.
