Like I have nothing else to do?

I've thought about posting a blog for a while now for a few different reasons...

1. I need to journal...I'm on the computer all day long...I might as well do it here
2. My dad made family assignments...mine is to document family milestones (a little late, but here I go)
3. It's a nice way to stay connected with family and friends
4. It's a creative outlet
5. My niece is inspirational (no really)
   

So here I sit on my bedroom floor, laptop heating up on my legs, Duke (black lab) beside me for support and I have no idea what I'm doing...what to say, where to start or what to share. I guess I'll figure it out as I go in hopes that this hobby helps keep me sane (if that's possible) and is interesting enough for those that I care about to read.
