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:

1. To keep my friends and family up to date about my family
   
2. To be able to hold myself accountable for what I write down
3. A medium for support in this crazy world
   
4. 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. 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,
