Let's give this a try...

Well, I have decided to enter the world of blogging once again. I used to keep a blog, but that was about 7 or 8 years ago. I think it really helped me when I was in highschool- it was a private blog, and I was able to release all my thoughts without worrying about what anyone would think of me. I haven't done any journaling or blogging since highschool, so maybe it's time to get all my thoughts out again. We shall see...

As of right now, no one knows about this blog and I have yet to decide on whether I will tell anyone. I'm not as worried about upsetting anyone with what I say, but sometimes it can be pretty embarrassing to share your every thought. I'm such a "pleaser" that I wonder how I might alter what I'm writing if I knew my friends were reading it.

So, for now, it's just me...and whoever else might stumble upon my random thoughts and ramblings. I'm sorry to whoever you are!

I have today off for Memorial Day and I've spent most of the day scanning pictures of my mother onto Mark & Treasa's computer. Mom's 50th birthday party is only a couple weeks away, and I've decided to put together a picture slide show for the guests. I've sifted through many pictures, pulling out cute baby pix and trying to crop my dad out of others. I have run across a number of pictures with my Grams in them, that has been surprisingly difficult. But, I don't want to get into that right now.

I'm just so excited for my mom's party! She doesn't ask for much, but this is something she asked me for more than 2 years ago. She told me when she turned 50, she wanted a party, but no "Over the Hill" stuff. So, we are doing flamingos. She has about 60 people she's invited, hopefully the weather is nice, so we can stay in our back yard...my house can fit that many at one time!

I can't believe my mom is 50, I'm so proud of her. She is such an accomplished woman and stronger than most anyone else I know. She and I are very different indiviuals, but I sincerely hope I can be as great of a mom as she has always been to me.

OK, that's enough for my first sitting.. I don't want to overdo myself!

I think I'll try going for a walk, I need to start exercising.
