Why I started a blog

It's funny how we've incorporated the internet into almost everything we do: shopping, bill paying, communicating, researching, etc. Instead of just couch potatoes, now we have internet potatoes. You can sit in front of the screen for hours reading up on things. I'm guilty of it when it comes to the news, friends' blogs, or sometimes looking at different store websites. And now, I've finally decided to start making use of it to keep track of what's been going on in our little patch of the planet. So, even if no one else reads it, I wanted to start a blog to keep track of things that the girls do, instead of starting more random word files that are saved haphazardly on my computer that I never read again. I always enjoy reading other friends' blogs and hearing their success stories and the funny things their kids do, and figure why not start one. Of course, there's no telling how consistent I'll be at updating it, but for the moment I wanted to give it a go.

Fair warning to anyone reading this: I'm very wordy and pretty long winded in my writing style so it will probably be a challenge if you don't like to read much.
