The beginning

Tomorrow is my first day of school. I truly never thought that I'd say that again. It's been 13 long and tumultuous years since I said goodbye to the academic life. At the time, I thought "good riddance", but now, well... now I think about what may have been had I not been such an obstinate little ass.

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy, or so I believe. What is happiness to whom, anyway? I'm married, and have been so for a little over 7 years (is that hapiness?), I'm told that I'm an excellent housewife and cook (that really does make me happy). I'm successful as far as my own successes go. I have a relationship with God, my family, and my husband that is strong enough for me. Is this what they mean when they say "I have it all"? Nonetheless, I'm never satisfied, and I want more.

I decided to start this blog as a personal outlet. Maybe people will read it, maybe they won't. Maybe they'll like my thoughts, maybe they won't. I'm not even sure I like my thoughts afterall. It can get a little chaotic up there in my head.

I envision sharing cooking tips, personal tidbits, and life as a 30 year old Freshman at a City Junior College. I envision passing on wisdom and hilarious stories, and gaining followers via my unbelievable wit and prose. I envision a lot. It doesn't mean it's going to happen.

So here I am, cursor at hand... What happens next is a mystery to me...
