For quite some time, nearly all of the other members of my family have had their own blogs. My siblings have repeatedly asked me, "Karen, when are you going to start blogging? and "Karen, why don't you have a blog?" I replied with answers like, "Even if I had a blog, I probably would be terrible about writing regularly and then you would all be mad at me anyway."

Yet, for some crazy reason, I recently told my sister Liz, "Fine. Sign me up for a blog. I'll see how it goes." (Wow, I sound like someone from the dark ages who doesn't know anything about the internet. Sign me up for that crazy thing, Liz!)

So, here I am with a blog. It has probably been a week and I still haven't posted anything - until now. But, what do I want to say? So much pressure! I was thinking I should probably come up with something really important and though provoking to discuss for my first post. However, instead of worrying about finding something great to write about, I'm just going to let the fact that I've started writing something be good enough for now. So, to my family who has for so long insisted that I join them in living the life of a blogger, "Look! I'm here! I've entered blog-world!" Wish me luck!
