Starting Out

I used to be one of those people that shunned the idea of having a blog, but as per obvious the idea has been milling in my head for a little while now.  My stressor, have you, was reading a CNN article about the healing powers of writing things out.  So here I am blogging for the first time in a decade when livejournal was prevalent and I had posts entitled "Why My Boyfriend Is Awesome" (two great examples: Because he surfs and because he plays in a band.  Needless to say, that relationship lasted less than two months.)

I've decided to keep this blog semi-anonymous and only semi-autobiographical.  I want to write about things that interest me or annoy me and things I'm passionate about or trying to figure out.  These things will include but are not limited to:  my disastrous attempts in the kitchen, the funny things the naked cat does, the Casey Anthony trial, traveling, family, and work.  I dislike blogs that turn into a long stream of consciousness about one's life - I want to make this interesting to reflect on in the future; I want to make this for me so I can have a little sunshine in an otherwise hectic life.
