Four days ago I decided I would start a blog.
I had been toying around with the idea for quite some time - back when I owned my bakery and was trying to drum up new clientele - but never ended up doing it. Now the bakery is closed (not for my lack of blogging, I'm sure), and I'm home full-time with my son, so I've decided to give it a shot. I mean, I've got all this time on my hands, right?
I started out doing research reading other people’s blogs. Man, there are a LOT of them out there. And all those people have been blogging forever! I began to wonder if I was showing up a little late to the party. You know, like jumping on the sports team bandwagon once they start winning games. If you know me, I’m not about just being trendy. But then I read some article that said blogs were on their way to being even bigger in the future, so on I went!
After receiving some advice from friends, I landed at blogger.com and began the process of designing “my blog.” I usually give myself credit that I know how to use a computer, but designing web pages is not my thing. I do have to say that using the templates on blogger is surprisingly easy - although, it took me almost two days to settle on my current design. There just too many choices. I have the same problem when ordering at the Cheesecake Factory, which is probably why I always end up eating the same thing.
I digress…
Having not written anything in quite some time - beyond a grocery list or the random birthday card – I must admit to some apprehension getting behind the keyboard. What should I write about? A blog should be longer than a “status” one-liner, right? I’m sure it’ll get easier after I get some entries under my belt.
Hang in there.
I promise I’m much more interesting.
The title of my blog, as you can see, is “From… A to Z”. There are a couple reasons. The first being that “A” and “Z” are my initials. The second – I don’t want to limit myself to certain subjects, so I can cover just about everything…. From A to Z.
See, I’m clever.
I’ve got big plans for this blog. It will mostly be an outlet for my thoughts. I’ll have to brag about my son, of course. I’ll relay amusing stories about my husband (who, by the way, has been saying “you can put that in your blog” ever since I brought up the idea). I may even share some top secret recipes.
Whatever it becomes, I hope you enjoy it
