My first blog!

So this is it. I finally did it. I've had several friends lately tell me I need to start a blog. I had intentions of starting one months ago, but I was held back because I couldn't think of a good name. Dumb excuse, I know, but I was also worried about people I didn't know reading about my life. I think most people, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here, are just curious about what other people do and what their lives are like, but there are those who are just plain creepy.

As I blog wander occasionally, I'm always surprised how detailed some people are describing themselves, their children, etc. Fake example: "So we live here at 1215 Little Handcart Lane in Happy Town. Our daughter Emma goes to Bucking Horse Elementary School where she's a second grader. She's wearing a pink shirt and cute blue jeans today; she has blond pigtails. My husband's out of town for 2 weeks and Emma and I are all alone in our house. I'll be gone from 2 to 4 today. The extra key is under the pot at the back door and the crystal is in the living room." OK so I jest a bit, but some people give out way too much information in my opinion.

So in the interest of privacy, I'll only refer to me, my husband and everyone I mention with the first letter of their names. One, so creepy people who want to rob us won't know who we are and where we live and two, to respect my family/friends/neighbors and their children whom I might mention.

Hopefully this will be the first of many posts.
