Blogging Day One

Well here is my first official blog. We'll see if there will ever be a second...It's a Friday night, I'm waiting for the big kids to get home so I can help put them to bed (yes, the 9,7, and 4 year olds are out while I, the vibrant 23 year old single remain in the house). The babies are already in bed after a rollicking evening of smashing ice cream sandwiches all over their faces, taking baths in the kitchen sink, and then using me like a jungle gym/trampoline...My life has changed in so many ways since I've moved here from Cali...but one thing has not changed much- my horrid eating...I'd like to document what actually, by choice, entered my body tonight as "dinner":
  • three mini corn dogs off the babies' plate
  • 4 pieces of dark chocolate
  • 2 red vines
  • several gulps of soy milk that made it down my throat before I glanced down at the box and spied the "best before Jan 3, 2007" label...very disappointing...and somewhat upsetting in more ways than one...

Anyway, this blog is intended to document not only such events as the "scrumptulescent" (did I spell that right Janae?) meals that I take, but also the other ways in which my life is filled with excitement, drama, confusion, clarity, laughter and tears in my new role as nanny...This may be therapeutic for me, could be entertaining for you, or heck, maybe it will turn out to be something I just did to waste time one Friday night...

Yaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!! I'm sooo excited that you've joined me in this crazy adventure of blogging! I actually just started reading, "Blogging For Dummies". No kidding. If you decide you like the whole blawg thang I'll loan it to you.
Its so fun to read what's been going on in someone's life even if you see them on a pretty regular basis because we probably never would have talked about all the "scrumpulescent" (was that the word?) things you ate tonight in real conversation! :)

Actually, it is spelled "scrumtrelescent."

By utilizing the "tre" sound, it avoids sounding like "scrumptious." which is an adjective meaning "extremely appetizing or delicious," whereas "scrumtrelescent" means:

"fantastic, exceptional. usually used to describe the brilliance of an actor or actress."

Actually, I think you used "scrumtrelescent" incorrectly...
