Post Inaugural

I started working on this blog a couple of months ago and have been playing chicken with the publish button since then. Publish keeps making this face at me:

"are you sure about that?"

Here's why: because I feel like Tula in My Big Fat Greek Wedding yearning to be one of the popular girls with the Wonder Bread sandwiches, (although I'm not sure of her logic there... Greek food > Wonder Bread) with said sandwich in my scenario being a dynamite blog, hold the mayo please. And I'm not even sure if I have much more to offer the interwebs than a swarthy six-year-old with sideburns would.

So I was grappling. To blog or not to blog? I asked myself "Why do you want to blog, Jess?" (yes, I do most often address myself in a colloquial manner such as this... out loud.) Well ok, it might be a good history project to keep tabs on this one's milestones:

more on her later.

And alright it will certainly promote accountability on my part - if I blog it, I must do it! get in shape.... remodel the nursery.... clean the kitchen (not the most thrilling topic, I'll try to limit those types of posts).... get in more shape..... you know. But mostly in my daily *hourly* blog rounds I find myself wanting to be a part of this cool community you all seem to have going here - you know, more a part than the anonymous creeper that lurks on you all on the regular. So now that I've made myself sound so appealing... what do you think? Is there room for me out there?

Hope so. What an ideal excuse not to clean the kitchen.
