Start at the very beginning...

I love a fresh sheet of paper where you can write anything you'd like. It is open for possibilities. I don't feel that same excitement when I look at a computer screen that is open to a new word document.
At this point, I don't know what the direction of my blog will be. There are many things I could write about, but for now I think I will write about what comes to mind and what is going on right now.
This might be a good place to list some goals or dreams. For now, I'll share 25 things about me from a silly thing I responded to on Facebook. I did find it a good exercise.

1-I met the love of my life on the internet (Go match.com!)
2-It took me much longer to realize he was the one than it took him to realize the same.
3-I first wore glasses in 2nd grade.
4-I first wore contacts in 8th grade.
5-I stopped wearing glasses or contacts 5 days before I turned 31! I love LASIK.
6-If I could travel anywhere in the world, it would be to the Mayan ruins of Tikal.
7-I love to travel and have always dreamed of being on The Amazing Race.
8-I applied to be on The Amazing Race with my friend, Kristi. We do not know why Phil has never called.
9-To help ease the heartache of not being selected for The Amazing Race and because he is such an amazing guy, my husband proposed though an elaborate game of TAR-Susannah Edition.
10-I got married in Yosemite National Park in a snowstorm in April.
11-I was honored to officiate at the weddings of two of my favorite people--my sister and my roommate!
12-Also, I was honored to be asked to participate in the funerals of my godparents.
13-It wasn't until I broke my leg that I realized that I love spinach.
14-I love to read.
15-I love to make lists!
16-I hate making the bed and only do it when company is coming over.
17-My husband and I joke about my surgical enhancements--the $40,000 leg and the amazing eyes!
18-I have the best ideas when I'm in the shower.
19-I love coming home and settling in on my purple couch in front of the fireplace to read a book, knit, or watch tv.
20-I do not enjoy cooking although I love to watch cooking shows.
21-I enjoying gardening even though my garden wasn't too fruitful last year.
22-I'm the money person in the family despite the fact that my husband is much better at math.
23-I get stressed before I travel because I have to pack and clean. I refuse to come home to a messy house.
24-I cannot believe it has been 10 years since I studied in Mexico!
25-I admit it. I'm a nerd. I wrote these down on a piece of paper before I typed them.
