a blog-virgin no more!

hello to everyone!
i'm a little apprehensive about being so new to this "scene". will anyone read this, or care? i suppose that answer will come in time. in the meantime, i guess if you don't like it, go somewhere else, right?
i've created this blog for several reasons, and here are some, in no particular order...

to post ridiculously adorable pictures and stories about my family, especially my daughter joely...for family and friends near and far to know what the heck we're up to...for a space for fellow panic and anxiety sufferers to read my thoughts and hopefully somehow gain peace from them (or at least an, "i'm not the only one who feels this way!")...i suppose to ramble on and on about whatever strikes my fancy


...i'm sure i'll come up with more reasons as we go...

i'll have you know i am obsessed with the dot-dot-dot... (i even say it out loud in conversations)

i will post this puppy and get other things going on this page. welcome!
