Blog.
What kind of word is that? According to Wikipedia (a good quick reference, but not to be taken as gospel truth), a blog is a combination of the words web and log.
Blog. Blog. Blog. Saying it three times really fast makes my cheeks puffy and loose. It’s not good to be doing that regularly at my age – my skin is getting loose fast enough.
… web logging – not much better …
Blogs usually involve personal commentaries, much like a diary, except they are open to public commentary. Posting your thoughts on a subject and then opening that up to the world to see and allowing people to leave comments seems a bit scary! More than a bit! This is completely different than margin notes in a book! Yikes! Well, we will see how this goes …
And blogs are popular. According to Blog Pulse (online blogging community), as of February 16, 2011, there were over 156 million blogs in existence!! WOW!
So, why a blog?
Well, I love to tell stories. In fact, cousin Wayne told me, “If you write half as good as you talk, you’ll have a best-seller.” Ha! We’ll see how this goes.
I’m not too interested in sitting down to write a best-seller. I can’t sit still long enough to do that! So, the next best option seemed to be a blog. And I just wanted to share some of my stories about life as a second rate farm wife. This way, if you too are thinking about being a farm wife, you will know how to avoid being second rate!
Hey! And if you are already a farm wife, you could send tips my way (thus the interactive part of the blog!).
And if you are the farthest thing from being a farm wife … well, just sit back and enjoy the stories!
Welcome.
