Musings of a Bored, Intimidated Mami

OK, so I have 2 weeks off, and I'm already looking for things to fill up my afternoons while my daughter's napping (when I'm usually working). Many of my friends have blogs, and I see how useful it can be to keep in touch with those far-away but close-to-heart family members and friends. I stopped publishing an annual newsletter to accompany my Christmas card years ago (In fact, I think there was the 1st annual and then none succeeding, sorry about that!). So I'm thinking...most of my relatives and friends probably have no idea what goes on in my day-to-day life, especially given how infrequently we communicate. Very sad considering the facility of communication today. I've shied away from blogs in the past because the upkeep appeared daunting to me. Also, because of the philosophical nature of some blogs, I recoiled. However, I've realized a blog is what you make of it, and since I've always been a utilitarian writer at heart, then by golly, that's what my blog'll be! Occasionally I'm sure I'll post a reflection or two, but my main goal is to put up as many pictures with captions as I can! I hope it facilitates more communication with you, my loved ones!
