Wow! Three followers - well, technically two of them are Aaron, but I'm trying to boost my e-confidence, so I'm going to go ahead and say three...
I'm only posting to grieve another error of technology. You know when your computer makes you type the word that you see - (I don't know exactly why that is, and I don't particularly care...it's probably both important and beyond me.) Anyway, most of the time it's a legit word like 'happiness' or 'rabbit'...but then once in a while it's complete jibberish. For example, it just made me type 'cleade'. Cleade is not a word - I checked. And it makes the lettering so jumbly and skewed that I really worried I might get it wrong. I mean I sat there for a while before submitting my answer, thinking "It's usually a real word. Why wouldn't it be a real word this time...is it just messing with me...maybe that's an I...nope - still not a word..."etc. Don't worry - I got it right. But I just need a little consistency here!
I now have to go work on the finale number of a student-created mini-musical for which I am partially responsible. Translation: I have to attempt to choreograph/alter the lyrics of Oliver's OomPahPah so that they would be appropriate for a waffle festival celebrating the solution of the Handicapped Pet Shop explosion mystery. (You may or may not need to read that sentence again.) I realize it sounds like I'm making it up. I can assure you I'm not.
Wish me luck. I will need it.
Love,
Carolyn

Remember when livejournal was so big during middle school-ish?? And I thought to myself - That's super weird. I'm never doing that... Well - I'm kind of doing that, although I promise to keep the emo to a minimum. And while I'm a little proud that I finally sat down to write this first post, I'm already frustrated because, frankly, my blog is ugly. I don't like ugly things and I have no idea how to fancify it like all my fancy friends. This is the primary reason I have waited so long to get this thing up and running...as most of you know, it could not have been for a lack of thoughts. I surely have no shortage of things to say. So, I guess I'll just whine publicly until someone shows me how to make it spiffy and personal. I suppose, at this point, I should just be grateful to have a working computer - (there was a minor boat-related accident that sent both me and my computer crashing to the floor...we're fine, if you ignore this hatch-burn armpit wound I'm nursing.)
Anyway, I don't expect this blog to be life-altering or even endlessly entertaining. I mainly only started it because Aaron was peer-pressuring me and I was starting to feel a little left out. But sometimes funny things happen to me and I like to tell stories of my many adventures. So...I guess if it can be even the slightest bit cathartic for me and can once in a while bring a smile to a reader's face, then it has served it's purpose. (Thanks to Hart for help with the url.)
I'm not nearly finished, but I don't want to overwhelm cyberspace. This was a big step. Stay tuned...
Love,
Carolyn
