I'll just hit the floor running....

I've never followed a blog from the very beginning so I have no idea what that first post normally looks like. Do they start off with an introduction? Or do they just jump right in with their existing thoughts, ideas, projects? If you've stumbled upon my little blog, then I presume you're more interested in the latter. But if I'm wrong, and you want to know about me, click the About box. If you want to contact me, click the Contact box. If you click on any of the other boxes, you'll be disappointed as they are currently empty. 

My prevailing all-consuming task is keeping on top of the resolutions that I made on 1/1/14.  Deals you make with yourself are tricky. You start off with good intentions and then somewhere around Day Two, you begin making side deals. "Exercise Every Day" becomes "Vacuuming Counts". "Eat Healthy" becomes "That Cookie Counts As A Grain". "Read The Bible Every Day" becomes "I Read That Scripture On The Highway Billboard....That Counts". And on and on.... However, here we are on Day 21 of the new year and I have kept up every. single. one. of. my. resolutions. Countless books, articles, and internet tales have told me that it takes exactly 21 days to form a new habit and my biggest fear is waking up tomorrow and finding out that they're all a bunch of liars. 



Thank you so much for taking the time to read this short maiden post. I told the one person who agreed to follow me that I would regularly update this blog and I will remain true to that promise.

I'm following you. I, however, notice that your link to humor is empty—a shell. Is this supposed to be metaphorical?

Thank you for following me, Ykw :) You are reading far too much into this. No mind-blowing metaphors....just haven't gotten to it yet. Stay tuned!

I can't wait to be part of your blog. I am looking at our trip and starting to plan. How does Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, and Shakespeare sound as a basis for our tour?

If you offer wine and humor and occasional wisdom, I will follow :)

    About Me

    I am a reasonably pleasant wife and mother who is passionate about homeschooling, homesteading, home organization, and humor. And I believe prayer, chocolate, wine, cheese and/or Bradley Cooper can fix just about anything.
