First Blog

ok, my first attempt at a blog. scoff if you must.

i'm sure in time i'll hang my head in shame when i re-read this stuff...

i do want to thank the fellow bloggers out there who have inspired me to put my thoughts to screen.

here's a little bit about me:

i recently got married after being engaged a year. my DH and i have been together for seven + years now. it was a strange match from the beginning, as he's 4.5 years younger than me. when i first met him i scoffed at the idea of us ever hooking up...he was 20 and i was a ''worldly'' 25 (or so i thought!). but you know, over time, it just worked. obviously.

we are childless so far, but if you count pets as kids, we have four hairy children and three scaly ones. two dogs: hudson and czar; two cats: sid and tasha; three fish who shall remain nameless at this point. it gets a little crazy (and hairy) at times around here, but they all make life just a little more special for us. and less lonely.

i work from home for my husband, so spend a lot of time on this machine. i love being at home and don't miss the social interaction of work at all. in fact, i hated working with other people. there were always those out there who let others pick up their slack, and others who did pick it up. the pickers and the pickees if you will. so i just do the books for the company and i'm quite content with that. i know when my deadlines are and really only spend about 8hrs total per week working for him. the rest of the week is occupied by running errands, looking after the pets and trying to bring order to chaos.

as for my personality, i'm sarcastic, critical, and picky. and those are just my good points! really, i'm just a quieter person who is content to sit back and watch the world go by. my ideal moment is either gazing at stars or sitting and enjoying that first cup of coffee in the morning.

so in my spare time i spend a lot of time surfing the net, reading, emailing friends. funny, i got an email earlier this week which commented on keeping in touch with friends via email, and phasing out friends without email. so true in my case. i'm not much of a letter writer, but i love to email. up till now, email has been my primary diary source, as my thoughts, activities , trials and tribulations have all been recorded in email to friends and family.

i'm hoping to put some of that stuff down here.

thanks for reading.
