So, I’m not going to lie.  I got the idea to start blogging from watching the movie “Julie and Julia”.  I just finished watching this flick (which everyone saw ages ago) on Netflix Instant and was inspired.  The movie was pretty adorable, in case you were wondering, and definitely makes typing journal entries into the infinite abyss of the Internet seem exciting.  I am not, however, nearly as daring as she was.  There will be no “mastering the art of French cooking” for moi.  Instead, I plan on using my blog to express all of the strange things that pop into my head (but that doesn’t mean I didn’t just purchase 3 cookbooks from Amazon, too..)  ;)

I’ve got a disease.  Oh no, not a deadly one or anything (well, no one has attempted to whack me for it yet, at least), but a verbal disease.  I never..oh, what’s a nice way to put it.. shut up!  I’m whole heartedly convinced that most of the people in my life are constantly thinking “is she STILL talking?” as I gab and gab.  THIS is exactly where this blog comes in handy.  You, dear reader (singular for now, as the only reader I expect is me), are incredibly kind to listen and welcome to comment to your heart’s desire.

An ex-boyfriend of mine once responded to most things out of my mouth with “good story.”  It took a couple of months before I realised that this was his answer after glazing over and thinking about football for twenty minutes while I yammered on.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I offer you - a “good story”, multiple musings from the insane mind of me.  I plan on throwing in a photo, recipe, soundbite or two.  We’ll see.  I’m a blogging noob and don’t generally enjoy following the rules, so get ready for a completely random experience.
