However (!!) for the past two weeks I have been the only adult in my house… and my kids have been with their father 1/2 the time, leaving me to wander aimless around the house. There were times, admittedly, that I talked to inanimate objects. And now that my isolation is coming to a close, I’ve realized one major thing – if I don’t get stuff out of my head, it stays there, taking up space.

It’s during those two weeks that I spent a lot of time online reading other peoples blogs. Most of them were clients or prospects. Some of the blogs were business-y, some were more personal – but all had that common feature of allowing the writer to brain dump. Which lead me to the realization – I need to blog for sanity.

So here I am again, on my blog that has not been touched since March (!!!) and I am going to make my attempt at brain dumping here rather then keeping it in my head to stir around and keep me awake.

I don’t have a subject in particular.

I doubt I have an audience (although if you are reading this – hi!)

I’m not looking to profit.

I’m not trying to change the world.

I can’t promise you will have a revelation after reading one of my posts.

What I can promise is that I am going to be writing about stuff. Sometimes frequently.  Sometimes not.

So…. that’s that.

-Until Next Time….

I can set it up. I can pretty-fi it. (Yes, pretty-fi. I make up words. It’s ok) I can promote it and SEO the heck out of it — but writing? Where do you begin????

So I investigated blogs. Which was cool, because I discovered that you can pretty much talk about anything you want and if someone wants to listen, they can… if they don’t, they don’t. It’s a nice change of pace for me, since I see the look on my husbands face when I talk sometimes. That look of “I soooo don’t care”.  So now I have a new outlet and I’m guessing my marriage will benefit from this. But what I could not find in all those blogs was how to START. What do you say in your first, your second, even your fifth blog post? If I walked up to someone new on the street and just started rambling about graphic design they would probably think I was crazy and slowly back away, then take off running, right?

After agonizing for a few days over how to start, I decided to just make my first few posts just ramblings about my leap into the blog world. Albeit I may be running the risk of people slowly backing away from the computer, then taking off and running out of the room… but here in the blog world, I can’t see you running so it doesn’t make me feel so crazy.

So for those of you who didn’t slowly back away and then start running out of the room – Welcome! Welcome to me rambling about web design, graphic design, photography and a whole bunch of other stuff that makes me tick. I hope in the posts to come that I can provide you with stuff you need; tips, tricks, tools, etc.. I will make a point to include useful stuff amoung my crazy, sometimes snarky ramblings.

Until next time…
