Introduction, I suppose

I guess I should do a little "introductory" post before I dive in here.

I am a complete and total procrastinator. I mean, I do get things done. I can meet a deadline. I'm not a deadbeat or anything. But I wait til the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND to do everything. My baby is almost 3 weeks old & I have about 65 more birth announcements to do. I also have 50 thank-you notes to write for baby gifts (many of which I received at my baby shower... in APRIL.) In college, I sewed my costume for our spring play the night before the dress rehearsal. I once finished a paper 20 minutes before class - it was worth 35% of my semester grade. I could go on and on... but my point is...

I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time. I created imaginary blog posts in my head. I had a list of all the great things I would write about. In fact, I even created THIS BLOG - 3 months ago - and never wrote one single post. So now, in an effort to break the cycle of procrastination - I am posting!

So hmm... about me...
I live with two members of the opposite gender - the Dear Husband, and the Dear Son. The Dear Son goes everywhere with me. The Dear Husband? Not so much. His newest hobby is golfing - he is taking a golf class for college credit. Ah, the beauty of a Liberal Arts degree - such a well-rounded education it even includes a physical education course. So we have spent two out of two days apart this week so far so he can hit some balls & get a tan.

I love both of these males very much, and if I ever complain about them, know that it is with a light heart and a smattering of exaggeration. (Who knows... the Dear Husband might read it someday. So I have to throw in this disclaimer... love you Dear Husband!)

I guess a good description of myself would be "jack of all trades, master of none." That's not to disparage my few talents, but rather my admission that I truly have too many hobbies to master one well. I love cooking, scrapbooking, sewing, crafts, writing, reading, music - and I always have at least one unfinished project in each of these areas. Maybe someday I will finish all of my projects. Then I will have nothing left to do with myself but go to JoAnns and start again.

one more thing. I often don't like starting my sentences with capital letters. perhaps it's from all that chatting online & texting, combined with the fact that I'm no longer a student & very seldom write papers anymore. however, I ALWAYS use punctuation. something about not using punctuation bothers me a lot. and I always capitalize proper nouns. ironically, it drives me crazy when my English students don't capitalize when they should... then again, they are being graded. no one is grading my blog.

Anyway, I will try to make my blog as interesting as possible, seeing as how I HATE reading boring things myself. That way even if no one reads it, I can still go back and read my entries and be entertained. (Wow... that sounds a bit narcissistic.)

The Dear Son needs his mother now...
