Welcome....

Hello~
Welcome to my blog. My name is Misti and, as my profile to the side reads, I'm a married mom of 2 boys. Despite enjoying the blogs of others, initially I was hesitant about starting a blog of my own. Blogging seemed to be an incredibly narcissistic thing. I mean, really, the entire world needs to know your thoughts? But then it happened: I began composing my own blog in my head. Content, layout, pictures or no pictures? Did I want a theme or just my thoughts of the moment? As I am prone to do, I obsessed over these matters for some time. To still my mind and take a baby step into the Blog World, I joined Cafemom.com, a website for moms of "all kinds". Take a look, you'll understand. I realized, after responding to a few posts, that the opinions and thoughts I had really did matter to some. Not only did I want to have an exchange of thoughts with the rest of the world, I needed to do so! (Working from home, with your husband no less, drastically minimizes your time with the outside world.)

So, what do I hope to achieve with this blog? Contact with a world I don't interact with nearly enough. I realize this makes me sound like some freaky recluse, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Our lifestyles dictate our social circles and sounding boards; I'm looking to expand mine. Thoughts and feedback on anything I write about will always be appreciated. Please, no "anonymous" posts; if I'm brave enough to put it out there, be brave enough to sign your own name.

And now, since the dog just barfed on the carpet, I suppose it's time to start the day. Thanks for joining me on this adventure.
