Here I am...enjoying the last day of 2009 and a lazy day off work with nothing to do (okay -- LOTS to do, just choosing not to do even one little bit of it! so pllllttttthhhhh!) when my Bestie called and advised that she was starting a blog and I most assuredly needed to do one too. Apparently, both of us have much to share with the world at large (just ask us....we'll tell you....no....really...ask us! I double-dog-dare-you!)!
Okay...to be honest, my first thought was "A blog?! What in the world would I blog about?!" But the more we talked, I realized that we actually are pretty darn interesting women...and besides....when has she led me astray before (with the exception of the night at a redneck bar in the boonies doing karaoke and dirty dancing together just to watch the guys go a little apoplectic...but alas, I digress...)?
Now I was committing to start a blog. Where to begin?! Is there a "how-to guide?" Do I need to put on shoes and run to Borders --like I need another excuse to go hang out at Borders -- one of the last bastions of an honest-to-goodness bookstore?!
After hiding my shoes from myself, the first monumental task (now I have, on occasion, been known to exaggerate a smidge, but this wasn't one of those times...promise!) was choosing the name of my blog. Do you have any earthly idea just how many blogs are out there with clever names....all of which were the very ones I was TRYING to choose?! The part that makes me want to write my Congressperson or take some other such radical action is that so many of those seemingly witty people (I am merely supposing this to be true because they chose names I wanted for my blog and I am beyond witty! darn those blog-name-stealers, anyways!) have pages with a great title and then nothing on there but one initial post from the year 2000...what the frack is up with that?! Who gets distracted from such an important thing as posting to your blog for 10 whole years?! Even I, who have won major awards for being easily distracted (or at least should have won if there were cash prizes awarded!), am not THAT bad!
So...here goes...my first post for "Abundant Musings" and the concurrent pledge (can't be a New Year's resolution since this is new -- maybe next year?! a girl has to have goals, right?) to not be one of those people who never posts again and simply takes up a great name that someone else really wants to use for their exciting new blog that they will obligingly post to each and every day.
Until next time...thanks to my Bestie for the nudge (she's expert at that, actually!) and Happy 2010!
