Dear blog, you won't believe what happened today....

So, here I am writing my first blog. This will be a new experience for me as I didn't even really keep a diary as a kid, at least not beyond a half-hearted attempt in junior high. At least that diary had the thrill of needing a key to open it and pink, lined pages. A blog just doesn't seem to have that same, romantic feeling of opening a journal book and pouring out your heart (OK, maybe I read too many books about genteel young ladies in junior high). At least I found a background that looks literary-ish (real word?). So, I shall endeavour to prevail!
