Trying things on

Phew! There should be an intro to blogging course in college just to hatch one of these suckers. Making a blog is like making a website! Somehow I didn't put the two together...

I am a speech pathologist in a public school therefore I have a lot time in the summer. Thus, I have plenty of time to do all types of "projects"... which is what I want this blog to be about. Cooking, traveling, DIY home updates, trying new things, etc. That is where I will start at least, we'll see what direction it takes me.

So here I am, trying on a blog for size. I hope it is not like trying on clothes. Trying on clothes is a very frustrating experience for me and any one around me. First of all, I rarely remember to check the sizes before I go into the dressing room, so I'm constantly having to put my clothes back on to run and get the correct size. It is as if I get hypnotized by the apparel and have to try it on immediately without any regard for fit. Then I slowly stare at myself in the mirror and reposition myself as to see every angle. If I am shopping alone and still unsure about the outfit, I ask a stranger's opinion. I am not above asking complete strangers how it looks, but I prefer having a honest friend by my side to tell me to quickly return an item to it's original place on the hanger and to, of course, check my sizes. Shopping alone is still something I'm working on. Camera phones have decreased my approaching strangers... bless my poor friends.

Now that you have taken a brief look into how my mind works (my brother told me I should name my blog "Blab Blab"), bare with me, because I'm going to try this blog on and see if it fits.
