OK, I've tried this quite a few times now. I have always wanted to start a blog journal about my day to day life for a few reasons:
- To keep my friends and family up to date about my family
- To be able to hold myself accountable for what I write down
- A medium for support in this crazy world
- To record some of my thoughts/stories so that I may be able to reflect on them
For some reason even though I am on the computer most of the time while awake (and partially falling asleep). I have been unable to sustain this blog, so here goes round 369 in which I try to consistently do this.
On that note I thought I start out with a chain note that was sent around Facebook recently:
25 Random Things About Me

- When my son was between the ages of 2 1/2 months and 14 months we moved 7 times
- When I was young I used to faint everytime I was about to vomit, with my most recent bout of the flu I found out I haven't lost that "talent"

- I have only been in love with 2 people in my life but I have been in "lust" with many more than that
- I think it's funny that there are no pictures of my with my mouth with braces on especially considering I had them on the last two years of high school
- I am addicted to chocolate and sometimes will go get some in the wee hours of the morning if I am still awake and craving it
- When I was younger I wanted to be Anne of Green Gables and even wanted to dye my hair green like she did in order to identify with her
That's about all for now, I will come back soon and try and have a couple different labels for this one blog instead of creating a bunch of different ones...but I am always up for suggestions.
Cheers,
Katt
