Ok, so if anyone reads this that knows me, you probably think this is out-of-the-norm for me. Blogging, that is. True story. Generally, I don't really want people knowing my business. With a few close exceptions, of course. However, I've been thinking lately that I need to live more intentionally, and this is my attempt at that. I like to write, but I've never been one to journal, mainly because I don't like my handwriting and can't stand to have mistakes or "mark-ups" on my paper. And yes, I'm anal about writing correctly and I revise early and often! So, duh, I'm just now realizing that I can sort of journal here, and it will be neat (as in orderly, not necessarily as in clever)! I guess I'm type A? Maybe?

Back to living intentionally. With two active and very social kiddos, a busy lobbyist husband, a dog, an obsession to exercise, a commitment to volunteer, and a job (or two), I feel like my life is quite the hubbub of activity. I jingle and jangle, flitter and flutter throughout the day. I do all the things I should (well, most of the time), but often think back over my days and wish that I had savored more, lived in the moment more. What better way to do that than to document your life, and your kids' lives, and your husband's life! And Q will love it! This will only add to his graniloquent style. That brings a thought -- I can't believe HE doesn't have a blog. He would be a great blah, blah, blahger. Ok, so the grand plan is to one day rename this blog to Long Lost Hubbub. That is a grand plan indeed. May be impossible. But life is supposed to be about the process, right?
