A little bit light-hearted

Now that formal introductions are out of the way, I feel like I can post something not quite so serious. If you know me you know that I can be serious, but I'm at my best when I'm light-hearted and fun. At least that's what I think anyway. And since this is my blog, my opinion is all that really matters. :)

I'm really excited for the possibilities I have for my blog. I envision a good mix of stories, random things I find interesting, and occassionally interesting topics that I have an opinion on and want to share. I also envision having some different features that I'll incorporate to hopefully generate some conversation and comments. I'll do what I can to keep things interactive.

I thought one thing I'd like to blog about for the month of November are things that I'm thankful for. I know some people are doing "day of thanks" updates on their Face Book pages, but I'm going to post them in my blog instead. If nothing else it gives me incentive to log in and post regularly. And, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, so if I can make it last all month long I'm for it.

Today I'm thankful for creativity. I have creative friends and a creative husband, and they inspire me to do new and exciting things and to challenge myself. For example, tonight Craig made a ramen noodle stew for dinner. He found the recipe on a budget-friendly web site for starving college kids. He doctored it up with some herbs and spices, and it was delicious. I love that he is creative and inventive with food. I also have creative friends who blog, who come up with new and exciting ideas, and that feeds my creative mind. So thank you for creativity!

Another feature that I plan on mentioning regularly is a way in which I was amazed today. In my introductory piece I mentioned that I think you should be amazed by something every day. So from time to time I'll share things that have amazed me, and feel free to share things that have amazed you too.  Today I was amazed by the weather. For November 1st, we had gorgeous sunshine and 70 degree temperatures, and I can't remember the last time that happened.

I'm starting to run out of ideas to write about at the moment, and I have some other projects I also need to work on, so I think this will be the end of my blog for tonight. I'm sure I'll have something to say again tomorrow, so feel free to stop by.

And, because it's Tuesday, and Glee was on, I'll leave you with my favorite quote from tonight's episode.

"I want to talk about that thing we never talk about."
"You mean that Sour Patch Kids are really just Gummi Bears that turned to drugs?"
