I'd Like A Blog Too, Please

First things first, this is my premier blog entry. A friend of mine writes the Backwoods Boogie column (I know, I am supposed to refer to it as a 'blog'). Not only is she sharing her stay at home mama perspective from the southern Chester County hillsides, she is sharing her beautiful photography as well. In essence, I want one too. True, I will have to learn some essential blogging skills such as uploading media, choosing fonts and blog designs.

Being a creative type, I wonder how I've made it this far not ever having made or maintained a blog. I think I'm going to have to think up another term besides 'blog'. It sounds a bit too 1983. I 'll have to set some posting ground rules as well; this blog may not interfere with my established night owl tendencies. Too late on that one, it is past midnight already. Blogging while thirsty puts me at a risk for dehydration. Anyone else ever feel like managing their thirst is a part-time job? Always blog with a fresh glass of water nearby. Refill glass when empty.

Most importantly, I think this blog will help supply a sense of creative accomplishment. Life is full enough with survival tasks and endorphin diversions. Who will wash the dishes in the sink tomorrow, if not I tonight? Is the task not the same, bleary eyed as the French press bubbles or weary eyed as the nighttime tea steeps? Perhaps a time niche will develop, an hour or two every week will appear, and I will respond creatively. We shall see!
