Now come's the hard part....

Yay! I successfully uploaded a picture! And yay Gabe moved to Utah! This is my nephew, who I may or may not be obsessed with.

I'm literally sitting here on facebook chat with my dear friend Emilee previously mentioned, trying to figure out how to work this stupid thing. I don't even know if it's kosher  to write 2 posts in the space of 20 minuets but I don't know proper blogging etiquette yet. I will now attempt to upload a picture. Cross your fingers! P.s. when I told my sister I got a blog, her direct statement was "A blog?? You? Haha..." I'm off to a great start.

Curse you peer pressure

To blog or not to blog? That is the question. I have been thoroughly peer pressured into getting a blog. By society, and my dear friend Emilee Crowder. Curse you Emilee, curse you. You might ask, "well what's wrong with blogging? Just do it!" Great suggestion. Except it's not. There are many problems with having a blog for me. First off, I'm actually quite boring. So an entire website of my not so exciting stories? I think not. I get nervous when I feel that I have to be funny and worry if I'm trying to hard/ not being funny at all. Second of all, I don't have any cute crafts to share on my blog which seems to be the latest trend. I dropped out of AP English after one semester so I do not follow in my mother and sisters footsteps, I am not a great writer (or speller as you will soon learn by reading my blog. Thank goodness I have my aunt Sylvia to back me up on that one.) Another HUGE problem is that LIKE my mother and sister, I am technologically handicapped. Really. It's true. Anything with a plug I automatically have issues with. I don't know how to do anything cool like fonts or colors. I don't even know how to upload pictures yet! And lets face it, the main reason people go on blogs is to see cute pictures! Another reason that I struggle with blogs I hesitate to say. Sometimes....just sometimes...when I read others blogs, I find that they type just 5 paragraphs too many. (Some of you might be thinking that exact thing right now.) Some bloggers just love to write and write about themselves. This is a little pet peeve of mine. But I think the main reason I have hesitated getting a blog for so long is this: I simply do not need ONE more social networking addiction to distract me from homework/sleep/exercising/cooking/cleaning/socializing.
So...now that I have written a lengthy paragraph of why I shouldn't and don't want a blog, here I am...having a blog.
So I beg of you, as a new blogger, be patient with me!
