This is Me

I've always wanted to have a blog...to have the opportunity to write about my life and have my own little space on the web. BUT, I put it off because, who am I? I'm nobody special, my life isn't gossip-column worthy by any stretch of the imagination. I don't have a bag of crazy stories to share and the most excitement I could get in a weekend is finding out that the Noggin On-Demand station was reloaded with new Blues Clues episodes.

On a side note, in case you don't know Blues Clues as well as I do, it's a kid's show where a cartoon dog (Blue) and her owner Steve (or her friend Joe, depending on what episodes you're watching) play a game called Blue's Clues to figure out what Blue is thinking or feeling. Each clue is marked by Blue's paw print and, while finding clues, Steve/Joe fall into a collection adventures with their household friends...and I'll spare you the names of all the characters...and yes, of course I know all of them. My son is a bit obsessed with the show ("Mommy Boo Coo") and I'm PRETTY sure I've seen every episode about 511 times. I could guess Steve's shoe size if I wanted and I've been known to sing the show songs absentmindedly to myself, usually to the horror of my co-worker.

Then, one morning as I showered I got a "smack me in the face realization" (I get those frequently...they seem to come in the morning when I'm still drunk from sleep, or lack-thereof) and I said, out loud to myself I'm sure: Why can't I blog? Why not me? My life may not be comparable to P. Hilton but it's a cute little life just the same. And my son can be pretty damn entertaining, (toddlers seem to have that way about them) so why not introduce the world to me and my life?

So, here I am. I'm a 27 year old woman, married, mother to a 19 month old, living in the great state of Wisco and I'm pretty satisfied with my life. Although I have long left behind my days of clubbing and bar-hopping...not that I did that frequently in the past...I have a beautiful son, a wonderful husband and I'm proud to be who I am.

So, as my blog list grows, you'll learn more about me, my family, friends and so forth and I guess you can be the judge on if my life is exciting enough for a blog. Hopefully I will prove that a mother and wife can lead a flashy life and live to blog about it. But, regardless of what anyone thinks, this is me and this is the way I like it.

Let the party begin - peace.
