Life Behind the Curve

It’s 2009. What on Earth am I doing starting a blog in 2009? Don’t I know that’s SO 2005 or 2002 or 1999 or whenever the cool cats started doing it? Well, yeah, I admit I’m behind the curve on this online trend. I know that microblogging is the new thing and that Facebook and Twitter are growing at phenomenal rates. I’m active on both of those social networks, as well as a few others, and it’s because of them that I’ve decided to give this blogging thing a try.

Blogging is a way to start a conversation and sometimes those conversations may just be with myself. But to be quite honest, I have conversations with myself about all sorts of random subjects in my head all the time. Shoot, sometimes I even have those conversations with myself out loud. Why not put finger to keyboard and get these thoughts out? It’s been my experience on social networking sites that I’m often not alone in my thinking, so perhaps we’ll find out we have something in common that neither of us realized and you and I can have a conversation. (The other voices in my head could use a break.)

So here I am, starting my first blog. What can you expect on this bad boy? We’ll see…probably some discussion of current events, politics, food, being a mom and a wife and a member of my community, and more. I hope you enjoy reading what I’m thinking about and I look forward to hearing your thoughts as well.

Though I’ve never written my own blog, I do frequent quite a few, so please check out my blog roll and read the amazing things being written all over the web. If I can be half as insightful, inspiring and eloquent as these folks, I’ll consider this blog a success. In the mean time, you can find me living my life behind the curve.
