Beginnings...

So, I have wanted to do a personal blog for a while- finding time has been a struggle, but last night, laying in bed I thought- tomorrows the day. I came on to get it set up....only to discover that Blogger already had my info. From like, 2007. So apparently, I was all gung-ho then to set up a blog, set it up...and promptly forgot about it and didn't come back to it until when? That's right. Today. Over 4 years later. Now yeah, I've got a lot of shit going on...but that's sad. So now, let's see if I can commit (I'm really bad with commitment of any kind). To not just starting a blog, but actually writing in it. Actually putting some effort in, making time for this. Time for me. I think I have lots of interesting stuff to say. You may not think so, and that's ok. Don't read it then. I'm ok with that. But if you want to stick around, that's great too.

I have just become more familiar in the last couple of months with the whole social media thing. (I know, living under a rock etc.) I had facebook (because who doesn't??), but twitter etc was a mystery. Well, now I have figured out twitter (sort-of) and I kinda love it. I'm being exposed to a bunch of new, interesting people from all over with all sorts of stuff going on. Its fun.

In May I turned 40, and I decided to do a 40 in 40- forty new things in my fortieth year. Its been fun so far, and I have done lots of things, but still have lots on my list. Then someone I follow on twitter set up a challenge called #OpEleanor - all about facing your fears, doing something that scares you every day for the month of November. I decided to jump on the bandwagon. Number one, because I think I would like Megan (@undomesticdiva), she sounds like the kinda girl I would hang out with. Number two, because it falls into my lineup as well of doing new things. One of them on my list is start a blog. So I can check that one off. As of now.
