Always Late

Here I am. Finally entering this vast domain.

I am always late with electronics/technology. For Example-In 3rd grade I got a red WalkMan for Christmas with an Arrested Development tape. I was so pumped about that and then, just when I had finished reading the instructions, CD players came out and I refused to learn the new technology and thus carried that red tape "deck" into my middle school years (not cool).

Nevertheless, high school made popular the "mixed tape" and I was "in" all over again. I had stacks of mixed tapes and still have many of them in a box somewhere. If you got in my momivan right now you would see tapes- (yes, my "wheels" sport a tape player AND a CD player- which I rarely use.)

Fast forward from high school and enter college with me...I learned how to email in my junior year by FORCE in the campus computer lab. I had no plans to ever do the email thing and then, after 5 semesters of college bliss, a single syllabus REQUIRED it. I was so scared I would fail and so I caved and after the 6th week of skating by on open forums, the professor escorted me to the lab and got me set up. Just to show a little rebellion, I picked a boring name, my own, not something cute and clever, and of course the Prof. could care less. But that is how I dig my heels in...I try and not get crafty.

But as you will see as I blog more, that hurts only me and no one else. So here I am forcing myself to face these technological demons and blog myself into the cosmos. I still need to figure out the picture thing and get some pretties on here and set up some housekeeping, but in the meantime, I want to share what is wandering around in my heart, brain, life and of course my home and hopefully get some creative discussion going!
