From the beginning, what I wanted primarily to do with this blog was get in the habit of writing every day. It was my first New Year's Resolution this year. And it's what, almost the middle of March? I'm late. Incredibly late, I know. But "late" isn't exactly a foreign concept to me. For one thing, I'm 32 years old and am engaged to be married for the first time. It took me 12 years to graduate from college. I still have a baby tooth that never fell out to make way for an adult molar. I figure part of me just likes to take the scenic route.
I also wanted to make this blog into the record of what I'm doing. I've always sort of found comfort in the minutia of everyday living. The books I read, the thoughts I think, the dinner I eat, the television I watch (or don't watch, as the case usually is). It helps me know that, since I have something of a routine, I'm normal. Normalcy is not to be overrated.
I've got lots to say... just remains to be seen if I've got the time to say it. But I shouldn't sell myself short; if I truly try to make the effort, I'm pretty sure I can at least allow this blog to sort of limber up my thoughts and get them to spin around like I've pushed "frappe" on the blender. Then the resulting thought juice can spiral down through my body and shoot out my fingertips to land--in order--on the monitor. Via the keyboard, of course.
What was that I said about normalcy...?
