Whaaaat!?  Did I actually just join the 21st century and set up a blog?!  It has literally taken me almost a year to finally find the motivation to learn how to do this blogging thing.  Admittedly, I now fully understand our parents' and grandparents' generations hesitan... no - fear of joining the cyber world.  I'm not even bad at computers but there's just always been something about blogs that utterly perplexed me.  Whatever, apparently I'm over it.  

I have to thank my little Booger for inspiring me to get this up and going.  Some of you may know her as Abby, Abigail, Abi-goo, Abby Mintz M.Ed, but to me, she will always be my Booger.  I finally read her blog (abby-chapter2.blogspot.com... follow her), and not only was I impressed with how well-spoken she is, but she actually has something to speak about.  Probably much unlike what this blog will turn into, but hey, if you can tolerate reading your 1,017 Facebook friends' daily status updates on what they ate for dinner and how they hate/love/hate/love their boyfriend/girlfriend and why Lebron James is a sell-out and the Cubs continue to be a disappointment (things we all know but really don't need to talk about anymore), then I figure this blog can't be that bad.  Think of it as trendy.  Similar to those of us who can claim we voted for Obama before he was running for President.  Reading my blog now is like your own personal investment into the future granting you the ability to claim: "I read her blog before she became _______ (insert one or more impressive adjectives or nouns here - i.e., "famous", "a rock star", "an Olympian"...)".  I would end this paragraph with the previous sentence but I'm pretty sure Mrs. Bressler taught me not to end a paragraph with a parenthesis, so I'll end it with this sentence.

I have a feeling only a few people will "get" this.  Ema will.  Future blog entries will have a little more insight into the life of an Olympic hopeful, a lot more insight into Capone's daily adventures, and an equal amount of narcissism.  iCan't help it that iWas born into the iGeneration where iBelieve that my daily activities are of utter importance to all my family and friends and friends of family and friends and all of their third cousins twice removed.  iThank Abba and Ema for this.

More later.  :)

Kisses!
