Diving into the Blogging World ... I Got Stories to Tell!

I've been blogging! It just hasn't been in the right place. I've been over here, but as it turns out, I don't think that Posterous is quite the right platform for my new adventures. If you have been around here for awhile then you have gotten a few brief glimpses of my world in this blog. The glimpses have followed me there then you have gotten very brief updates on me. There are even pictures of me are weaved in here and there. Mostly, the goal of that blog was to create a place where I could share my likes, interests and clever finds.

BUT ... my needs are changin' in these here parts (soundin' like a true southern' girl), and I'm looking for a platform where there are more like minded people milling around. I still like sharing random fun facts, but the new plan is to share more of me! So, here I am in the blogger world!

Indeed ... NOW ... NOW is the time for more! I'm diving into to this personal blogging world! As a matter of fact ... I'm doing a cannon ball, BIG SPLASH and all, right into the REAL PERSONAL world of blogging! I am making a serious commitment for something more! I have been the information kind of sharer in the past, but now I want to morph into the story teller, a personal experience sharer, a real person in real words and real pictures.

I do believe that I have quite a story to tell. (Well, many stories really.) I hope to be really honest ... JOYS, ughs, "oh my gosh, can you believe it's" and all. Some stories about the past and some stories about the here and now.

"Why now?" one might ask. It's simple really. Someone suggested it. I want to write a book (...and, in time, I still plan to) and a friend suggested that I start blogging. His exact words were, "If you are serious about writing a book. You need to begin blogging regularly like yesterday." He made that comment on Friday, and I am VERY SERIOUS ... so here we are ... MY FIRST "REAL" BLOG POST!
I have lots of ideas of things that I wanna share ...

... a lot of stuff about ... what is it like to find out that you have a NEW Dad at the age of 28? The deep, down and dirty answers to questions that everyone is asking.

... my thoughts on nature versus nurture. (I am still a geeky science nerd after all.)

... memories from the times of deep insecurities. (Yep, I definitely got 'em, and I did promise honesty!)

... the differences between thriving and surviving (for me).

... why I think relationships are more important than "stuff".

... and much, much more.

Will you hang around to hear more? Do you have questions of your own?

Many people have suggested that I have very readable material in this life of mine! So ... let's give it a go and see what happens!

Until next time - Crystal
