Pilot

I'm sitting here in the warmth of my cozy house on this quiet winter morning. There are snowflakes swirling around outside and I am soaking it all in. I should not be blogging. I should be headed to the practice room instead. But I'm allowing myself this luxury since it IS winter break and my world is about to explode again in about t-minus 10 days. Not a comforting thought. But it will be my last semester as an undergrad (not counting the summer class I have to take) and so there's a small part of me that's ready to just jump in and kill it. All in good time, though.

I was hesitant to start yet another blog. I had one during my freshman year of college which I kept going for quite a long while. But then a bunch of people found it... people that I knew that knew me and I had to start being careful about what I posted, especially after I broke up with the guy I'd been dating for 3 years. And so it got weird. Then I tried to start another one my junior year. But I was in the midst of my degree and depressed about life. It was not a good place. I think I posted a total of two times. Fail. This last year, I started a food blog and even though I don't post as regularly as I would like, I have actually kept it going. I'm all about things that make you feel successful and so when my friend Chad reminded me that "nobody's going to chastise you" about a blog, he might as well have handed me a set of keys and said, "Drive baby, drive."

So here I am again, would-be blogger. I could sit here and promise to be dilligent in my posts, explaining all my hopes and dreams for the coming year. But all I've got for now is this: We'll see how long it lasts...
