Last year, while on vacation digging holes with my kids at the beach, I considered writing a blog. The conversation went something like this:

Son to mom, “You’ve finished writing your book– whatcha gonna do now?”

Mom to son, “I was thinking about starting a blog.”

Son to mom, “Oh, I thought we could go to Disney World or something.”

We haven’t made it to Disney World yet, it’s on the to do list, but I did start a blog, and this week is its one year anniversary. A lot has happened in a year and for some reason after age sixteen, the years seem to speed along at an exponential rate. Before sixteen, they crawl along like this guy. But these days, blink it’s Christmas again, blink, you have a domain name, blink–blink, you’re a year older, and yes I agree, it’s completely not fair that at a “certain age” zits and wrinkles overlap. Like I said, a lot has happened this year.

So in celebration of the one year anniversary of the Blog for the Morbidly Thoughtful, I share with you one of my favorite discoveries from the past 12 months:

Whoever the Wrigley chemist is who concocted this scrumptious flavor festival, I love you.

Today I officially launched my little blog and join the ranks of the other 1.4 million web logs. It’s “official” because I’ve told enough people about it that I have actual comments and my first follower! I’ve linked to google and to facebook too, which took me a grand total of 13-1/2 hours to figure out how to do– yes, my children have been without matching socks for most of the week.

Why Blog? Why not Blog? Here I’ll get to post about those things that interest me and maybe a few of those things will interest you too. Most importantly, it’s another venue for me to write, and now, you can come along with me for the ride…the top’s down, the weather’s prime, let’s stir up some dust and get this adventure started…
