Ok, well, here we go! As soon as I press that lil' "publish" button at the bottom I will officially move from the privacy of my bajillion notebook journals to BLOGGING. Just me and potentially the rest of the civilized world. Eh, I could always move to the Australian outback and live with the Aborigines if I embarrass myself too badly.
So, why am I doing this? Well, for a couple of reasons. First of all, this is a big year of change for Familia Romano. Jay, Elvis and I moved to the 'burbs and, most importantly, we have a Baby Romano on the way! I knew I would want an easy way to post pictures and just update my random findings of life in the burbs. For instance, WHY, seriously, WHY are people in the 'burbs afraid of the computer kiosk at the Post Office? People, do not make the line longer than it needs to be. You really, really can weigh your package, buy your postage and send it at the kiosk. No human needed. I promise. Also, the "change of address" option really does work online. Again, no need to stand in line and make me wait 45 minutes to pick up my mailbox key. But, anyway, I digress. Back to why I'm blogging...
I've missed writing. I remember how much I loved it while I was growing up . Curiously, I hated Journalism School (sorry, Scripps). Anyway, I wanted to find a way to bring writing back. JT gets to bring sexy back. Why not tap into my inner nerd and bring back my love of writing. (By the way, in case you are lost, "JT" refers to Justin Timberlake. You're welcome, Ma.)
So, that's the why of it. I hope along the way I don't offend too many people too badly, but, if I do, this is my apology ahead of time. Sorry!
Good. Got that out of the way. We're on a roll.
The other day I was standing in my new kitchen and I realized I was LITERALLY barefoot and pregnant. AND, I could honestly fill in "housewife" for my occupation (although, for the record, I still choose "freelancer"). Don't get me wrong; I am happier than I've ever been, but still, this transition from a career-focused individual to someone who is contemplating calling the Scrubbin' Bubbles manufacturer questions/comments line is amusing. Especially to me! I'm sure there's a lil' piece of hell freezing over as I type the following.......My parents were right. I do love the slower pace of life in the 'burbs; Saturday is a good day to work in the garden and I would really appreciate everything one day when I was older.
Welcome to the Romano Reality Show.
