I said I'd do it, and I did it!

I've always written in a journal, since maybe even elementary school... just never online or for an audience to read before!  I've been thinking about blogging for awhile now, and I have FINALLY taken the plunge and started my blog.  For whatever reason, it seemed so easy to do today - but, I'm telling you, I've been plotting about this thing for weeks...

It all started when I signed up for a Google account (Thanks Google!) and I noticed that I'd have access to blogger... I dismissed the idea of blogging right away.  I have no time for this.   Zero, zilch, nada, ain't gonna happen...

Then, I watched Julie & Julia.  (Yes, the movie about Julie Powell, a writer who blogs her way through Julia Child's cookbook.  And, I must mention, that I did force my fiance to watch the movie with me.)  Admired by JuliE's success, my fiance said to me, "Why don't  you just do that?"  Of course, I'm the most undomestic diva you'll ever meet, so it didn't strike me as a good idea at the time.  Still, I thought about writing about something else I know a lot about - fashion, make-up, shoes...

 Just as I was about to give up, I came across the blog - www.leeloublogs.blogspot.com.  Leelou's website made blogging look fun, and I'm such a sucker for cute graphics, and so I tweeted my thoughts: "I want to start a blog".  A  friend simply said, "So do it."  It was the final push.  So I did it, and here I am and here you are!  :)  And, of course, I'll make time for this!

So, what is to come?  Good question.  I'm asking myself the same thing... but this is an adventure so I will see where it takes me.  My blog's title is "Beauty, Blanhik's, & Beyond" so that should give you a good indication of where I will be going from here.

 So, let the journey begin!
