Breaking the Rules

Rules that I'm currently breaking:

1) I'm not blogging often enough, which the Pioneer Woman claims is very important ( "Ten Important Things I've Learned About Blogging")

2) I'm staying up WAY too late the night before a Flash Mob

3) Wearing white after Labor Day (ok - technically I'm not doing that right now, but I'm going to be wearing white later today.)

4) The white I'll be wearing is skin-tight-spray-painted-on polyester pants.  This is breaking several rules of fashion.

5) There is a good chance I'll end up breaking the actual pants...because they are beyond tight. (I'm not sure if there's an actual rule about breaking pants...but it's not a good thing either way.)

I will try to start blogging more often.......but there's nothing I can do about the pants (except pray that they do not break).

A Blog is Born

Someone (Valerie) told me that I should start a blog (or write a memoir), but I wasn't 100% convinced since the majority of my [good] stories involve people that I would rather not mention by name.  Do the rest of my stories deserve an audience?  I'm not so sure, so my plan is to just not tell anyone about this blog for awhile and use it as sort of as a journal.  This means it could end up like every other journal I've ever started in my life - unfinished and forgotten.  Of course there's also the possibility that it will be more than just another abandoned project - and with that burst of optimism, I will publish my my first post! :-)
