I Cannot Believe I'm Blogging!

Look at me, ma, I'm blogging!


Honestly, unless it's a how-to blog, a travel/photography blog or it's a blog written by Ryan Gosling, I'm generally not interested in personal blogs. Not all opinions are made equal. If this was even 10 years ago, we wouldn't be subject to the constant firing of peoples' thoughts, the happenings in their lives, their shock at how horrendously their neighbours park (uhhhhh Guilty!), etc. I don't consider myself anything to close to a journalist or even someone whose thoughts are so remarkable that they just have to be posted on a weekly basis for the entire world to read. And I think this about a lot of people who share their lives on the internet. Seriously. Save it for your diary; at least you can use the lie "I was only 15 when I wrote that"  when someone comes across words and thoughts that you really don't associate yourself with anymore.


Regardless, here I am. The purpose of my blog is to chronicle what I call my "domestic experiments." Let me make myself clear--this is not my forte. I travel, on average, 10-12 days out of the month to parts of BC & Alberta for my job and I consider using a waiter's corkscrew to open my bottle of wine (instead of buying a twist-off) as a valiant effort. But I need a hobby.


And a possible back-up career, you know, after my impending nervous breakdown...


So in providing my how-to's on my little projects, I hope to accomplish the following:


1) To show everyone that you don't have to be a crafty person to create things/meals that your family and friends feel bad about throwing out.
2) To bust the myth that traveling for work is fun!
3) To share some business and business-travel tips that I've gathered.
4) To get all of you so hooked onto reading my blog so that one day I can blog, in painful detail, about the ham and cheese sandwich I had for lunch and you will have no choice but to read every single word of my entry.


Happy reading and hope no one gets sick off of the recipes I post!
