I guess it really says something about how ginormous the internet is when the only hits I get against all combinations of my formal name, maiden name, nick name, middle name and last name are my facebook profile, outdated linked-in profile and old high school swim meet results. There were gobs of way more interesting people popping up such as doctors (both my maiden and married names!), none of which had a negative stigma attached to them. I find my lack of presence online amazing seeing as I spend 95% of my workday and potentially another 20% of my personal time in front of a computer. I'm obviously not making a huge impression on the www community which makes sense since this is the very first blog I've ever written. That's right, I'm a blogging virgin!
I must admit that it took me quite a few attempts before I was able to actually get this blog up and running. The initial setup was a piece of cake! The content on the other hand proved to be more challenging. I didn't want to just throw a blog out there about nothing. The internet has enough junk out there, I don't need to add to it. I wanted to create something that could be an ongoing personal project, an outlet of sorts, where I could blog about issues that are important to me, hobbies I don't have time for since I'm going to night school four days a week for my mba all the while working in a competitive corporate environment, my jokester of a husband that I spend far less time with than I'd like, my furry dark haired 85 pound child Coalby, the limbo-land I find myself in during my mid-twenties.... you get the point. Alas, I've found my voice and started blogging. I hope my future readers find my future blogs as entertaining as I know I will. Before you know it I'll have more hits on google than those doctor name stealers!
