virgin post

daisy (my lovely golden retriever) has had her blog for a while now - http://dayzeesdiary.blogspot.com/ (and some people actually think she writes it - morons). thought i'd start my own cause there's so much i want to say in hers, but as a dog, those words would never come from her mouth or her paws.

i don't anticipate how many readers i'll have; i guess you have to broadcast these things somehow. maybe it will start slow and gain readers by word of mouth (like that shampoo commercial from years ago - "i told two friends, then she told two friends", etc. what was that shampoo anyway?). i'm not going to try to be philosophical or funny, but hopefully i can be without making it look like i'm trying.

my husband and i have been living in southern california for almost two years now. i'm originally from texas and have lived in dallas for a very long time. i was very excited about coming to southern california but have discovered its just another location. you have to be happy where you are. not that i wasn't happy in texas; i just was "itchy" (or maybe antsy) for a change. i think the idea of change is complicated though (at least for me). i think i really like it, but it can be hard.

i've always thought people can change - not where they are or what they do - but really change who they are. but can we really? at the core, are we just the same mind and soul that we've always been? i think i used to be kind of a crazy, fly off the handle too quickly, type of person. i'd like to think i've calmed down some, but there's always that screaming banshee inside me that would like to come out.

i have to go (bored already) and too much to say. i'm smelly from my very brief workout and need to shower. am supposed to have lunch with my boss today (on a saturday!) and an adorable man that helped get me hired at my current job (which i currently - this week at least - don't like much).

whoever is reading, love you all (well, most of you).
