To Blog or Not to Blog....

Do I really need a blog?  No, I do not NEED a blog.  Do I want to have a blog?  I think so!  Why??  Ever since my last viewing of Julie and Julia, I've had blogging on my mind!  I'm not exactly sure why, but watching that movie, and reading the blog updates from a few of my friends who have blogs, makes me long to give it a try.  Also we have a lot of family and friends who don't get on Facebook, and I'm looking for a way to keep them connected to our lives.  Maybe a blog will do the trick!  I'm going to give it a try and hopefully it will be a fun -- and not too time consuming -- way for me to share what is going on with us with those we try to keep up with.  If it's a complete failure, then at least I'll know that blogging is not for me and I can silence the nagging voice in my head!   So here's to my first blog entry!
