It all started when one of my oldest and dearest friends, Bethany, and I had lunch and spent hours just stalking all these really cool decorating blogs. Page by page, I would just read and think, "Why am I not blogging about all my crazy ideas?" Turns out Bethany was thinking the same thing. I ended up buying her a book for Christmas entitled Blogging for Bliss: Crafting Your Own Online Journal by Tara Frey.
You see, Bethany is a dedicated learner and reader....me, not so much. I was always the kind to try to program the VCR without reading the directions, and then break the remote in a rage because it wouldn't do what I wanted. So my ulterior motive in buying her this book, was to let her read and then have her teach me all the blog-tastic tricks of the trade. But, curiosity the best of me and I recently ordered my own copy of Tara's cool book. Now that I'm armed with a little how-to handbook, I'm going to take ever chance I get to hide from my husband and kids (which most times is in the bathroom) and read when I can. Hopefully I'll get the basics down soon, and will be well on my way to doing laps in the blogging pool. So here I go....CANNONBALL!!
