Why Blog? Why Now?

Why blog? Because I have ideas, that's why. Lots of 'em. I am constantly jotting my thoughts down on post-it notes or whatever other little scraps of paper I can get my hands on. Whenever I open up my purse, clouds of half-folded post-it notes fly out like spring-loaded snakes from a prankster's peanut can. I need a place to chronicle all theses little gems of wisdom. I plan to transfer some of these thoughts, which include my opinions on various topics and observations of everyday life, to a blog. (It's such a funny-sounding word, “blog.”) Oh, and lists! Expect to see many lists on my blog. I love lists, all kinds, perhaps to an unhealthy degree.

I am not exactly a stranger to blogging. I had a blog once upon a time, but it was on MySpace if that gives you any idea of how long ago it's been. In fact, it has been so long since I've blogged that as I was recently reading through entries from my previous blog, “Amber: The Woman, the Legend, the Blog,” it seemed as if I was reading the writings of someone else, and I began thinking to myself, Oh, that is so true!...Boy, can I identify!...Preach it, girlfriend!... Then, I remembered that I was the author, and I just felt stupid.

Well, anyway, now I'm back on the blogwagon. Back in the saddle, if you will. Yee-haw!
