I never thought I'd actually see the day where I would have my own blog. I did actually have a (mandatory) blog years ago for a computer class I had at the University of Wisconsin (go Badgers!) -- blogs were new to the scene then and our hippie teacher was "experimenting". Anyway, main point is I thought it was ridiculous at the time. I mean who really cares what I have to say? And do I care about some other stranger's opinions? No, not really, but here I sit...err, type.
Over the years, as MySpace and Facebook and Twitter (though I know nothing about Twittering) have blown onto the scene, I find myself and my "friends" relatively addicted to updates, quizzes, notes, old photo posts, gifts, flair, top 5's, music, events, etc. etc. Don't get me wrong -- I don't plan on deleting my page anytime soon. I love staying in touch with my friends, and it's great finding old ones or adding new ones, but I only friend those I really know.
So why the blog? Well, in a time where the economy is the worst my generation has seen and social media/marketing is climbing, a girl has to do everything in her power to market herself above the others. It's not pretty out there; in fact, it's down right depressing at times, so I plan to focus on the positive here. There are so many fabulous things I love from my childhood to now, and I am constantly finding new and wonderous items to fawn over. So allow my whoring, as it were, to also bring a smile to my face as often as needed. And if no one reads it? No problem. But if you are, 10 points if you knew the title was from "Steel Magnolias", my all time favorite movie...but more on that later.

Hey sis...you know I'll read your blog. I'm so proud of you. You're far more intelligent than I could pretend to be. I can't believe all the things you can do; blog, Web site, etc.
Naturally, I get 10 points; knew the movie before I finished reading the quote.
Here's a quote to keep you smilin'. Let's see if you know this one:
"When I get lonely and I need to be loved for who I am, not what they want to see. Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me. We have a connection. Home is where the heart should be."
"Keep, keep it together. Keep people together forever and ever." As if I wouldn't know a Madge quote coming from you! Thanks for reading bro!
You know me - I'll get zero for any movie quote you put up there unless it is from a kids movie. It will be fun to follow your blog - keep writing!
