It will probably be the only New Year's Resolution that I will accomplish, but here it is. I am starting a blog. Not because I dream of "Julie & Julia" (which I do) or because it is my favourite movie (which at the time it is). I am writing a blog because I want to write and I am always finding excuses not to.
This introductory blog is as awkward as a first meeting. I am feeling a little shy and you do not know me very well. What can we expect? Well, I can tell you that I have lots to share and I have my family and friends who find me fairly entertaining. Sometimes that is a good thing, other times I am good-natured that it is at my expense.
So it is a New Year...it is night...and it is quiet...with just us looking ahead to a year we cannot even begin to fathom. I am a fairly cheap date. I will blog for attention...for comments, good or bad, as I have a lot to learn here...but mostly I will share with you things that I have discovered, things that I enjoy and think you will too, and probably things that will take me out of my comfort zone. I will be piecing bits and snippets of my life to make a pattern that you can see. It is a lot like quilting, which I like to do. Or, it is like adding together ingredients of my life to serve up something that I think you will enjoy...a lot like cooking or baking, which I also do.
I was going to start off sharing a recipe for my buttermilk biscuits, but it is misplaced among the after-holiday chaos. That will then have to be for another post. But I will share it here with you and then I won't have to hunt down that little recipe card ever again. I would like to post pictures but I am waiting for my new camera to arrive. So yes, I understand that I am a little unprepared for this first meeting....but I thought it was important to get this blog started, tonight, now, and not put it off any longer. After all, it is a New Year's resolution.

I love this first page. Very cool. Very colorful. Looking forward to lots. And don't be shy....you have a lot in there....don't worry about what anyone thinks, you are not being graded!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - You are off to a good start. Congrats on completing your first resolution of the year!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne. I love the picture. The chickens have that antique, homey look that I love. Although blue is not my favorite color, I like the choice of blue you used. It is by the way my favorite color of blue.
ReplyDeleteI cannot picture you being shy, you have always seemed full of self confidence in my eyes. I always looked up to you and wished I was more like you in so many ways.
I think your fist posting to your blog is a great start; I do feel that I DO know you though since we met in the fourth grade and you were my only friend, my best friend in the whole world.
I can't wait to see what you do here when you no longer feel "awkward". Again, I have a difficult time picturing you as "awkward". You have always come across and confident and you have a graceful presence about you that I have always admired. I look forward to pictures, I hope you don't keep me in suspense for too long!
I hope many people will come and enjoy what you share here. You have a lot of talent and many experiences that I believe others will enjoy learning about.
I love you dear friend and always will.
Joy
Great start! I am looking forward to following your adventures in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2010 Suzanne! What a great way to start out the year with your new blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Your opening picture is wonderful -- peaches -- makes me think of summer already! :-) (Will you be posting the recipe for it?)
ReplyDeleteBTW, you are not extraordinarily ordinary you are EXTRAORDINARY. I have always admired the way you accomplish all the things you do in your life. You are a marvelous mother, teacher and friend. I'll look forward to following your thoughts and "snippets" as your blog continues.
How is your quilting going?
Wishing you a year filled with fun adventures.......
Actually, those aren't peaches...that is an apple-cranberry Dutch baby and I will post pix and the recipe the next time I make it!
