My 1st Time Blogging

So, I am trying something new... I guess I am now a "blogger." I feel pretty cool about it but am a little intimidated by it.

So what is my purpose? I just think it will be neat to keep up with my family through the blog. I don't have my own Facebook page - Joelynn has one and she uses it to keep up with everyone. I am on there but don't take the time to do my own. It seems like too big of a commitment. Joelynn is always updating her status using her iPhone. I don't have any iPhone and don't want one. I can't see myself spending a lot of time setting up the Facebook and then keeping it updated. So, long story... I think blogging is the best option for me. Using the blog, I can kind of keep a journal or whatever and then let people check it out and leave comments. Seems simple enough.

The part that intimidates me is that it is online and who knows who is reading it. I guess I will get over that.

We had a super fun weekend. Joelynn got home from California on Friday night and we went to Sizzler for dinner. It was yummy. Then we just went home and went to bed. We were both sleepy. I love to sleep! Saturday we picked up Braxton at about noon and we went to Cheesecake Factory with Joelynn's family for lunch. It was cool. I had the best cheesecake - it was a carrot cake and cheesecake mix. I know... can you believe it!! I shared with Braxton. He loved it too. After lunch we went home to play with Augie's new puppy. It is a boxer puppy. His skin and fur and so silky smooth. He is fun to squeeze. He is a hyper puppy and likes to lick. I loved him, of course. Then we went to Joelynn's mom's house to set up her new Roomba. We were totally bummed because it will not work on her carpet - I guess the dark color patterns freak out the sensors or something. We are going to use it in our basement instead because it does not work for her. It is lame because it was going to save her the hassle of vaccuuming. Their rugs are tough to push a vaccuum on. Sunday we met at the Olympian for breakfast with my family and the kids. It was cool to get everyone together. The kids have been missing Joelynn and wanted to get together. My brother wanted to hang out because Braxton was talking about him and he thought that was cool. It worked out to get everyone together. Then Sunday night I played my new Wii game - Second Opinion. At first it kind of sucked because I could not fugure out how to play it. Then I took a look at the directions and was able to do it. I passed my 1st 2 surgeries with C's but failed my 3rd surgery like 5 times. I finally gave up and went to watch the Apprentice with Joelynn. I think Donald should have fired, both, Tom Greene and the basketball guy (I can't remember his name). They both were worthless and lame. Donald fired Tom. I suspect that the basketball guy will not be far behind.

Well, here's my 1st stab at a blog. We'll see if I keep it up. Ta-ta for now.
