Hi, it's me.

Okay, I'm one of the cool kids now! I've been contemplating a blog for a while now and I guess 2:26am January 2nd, 2009 seemed like the right time to go for it. I'm going to blame that for not being able to think of a better name.

I don't really know what I'm doing. I've forgotten the little HTML I learned in high school nine years ago, so I'm going to learn as I go. I'm not even sure how much of that I'll need. If anyone ever reads this, please feel free to offer suggestions, I'll gladly take them.

So what else. Well, I'm 27, a married mom of two, I'm on maternity leave right now and my favourite hobbies are crocheting and reading. I don't get enough time to do either. I work in an office for a grain exporting company. I'm Canadian. I live in a small town on the prairies with a population of less than 1000 people. My house is never clean, but I like to think that it's not usually too horrible - I just need more room for my books and yarn and it would probably help if I decluttered a bit, but I have a hard time throwing things out. I also have no real design sense. I grew up on a farm and would move back onto one in a second. I use way too many commas. I love my husband. I still feel funny saying "my husband."

This blog is going to evolve. I plan on using it to show off my crochet, keep a record of the books I read and possibly use it as a sounding board for whatever happens to be in my head at any given moment, assuming I ever any readers. I'd love to get feedback, and will probably do a happy dance for every comment I get because I get excited over things like that. Hopefully I will soon have something worth posting about.

  1. Blogger is pretty awesome when it comes to publishing. You don't have to know anything about HTML or any other codes to get a decent looking blog. I myself use a really simple blog template and just tweak the colors once in a while. I guess that's because I'm lazy. And I'm OK with that!

    I like your introduction. :)

    Oh, and one of my not-New-Years-resolutions is to blog every day. EVERY DAY!! And if that means just uploading a photo or writing a sentence or two, I'm going to do it! Besides, that whole not having a job thing makes it easier to do.

    Alrighty, back to knitting! And welcome!

  2. You are ambitious, every day!! I'm hoping to post once a week, lol. I had noticed actually, you hadn't posted on your blog for a little while, then all of a sudden I had missed a schwak of posts! I've been enjoying your pics, I'll have to figure out how to put some up here. Also how to put stuff in my sidebar, I think I need some buttons.
