Today is the first day of the rest of your life!!!

Hey, I did it!! For real! First off, I didn't mean to start this off so maudlin. But life happens that way sometimes. DH's grandfather, Sam, had open-heart surgery about two weeks ago, and he's suffered some complications. Today, a part of his colon had to be removed, as it was not getting any circulation. But he came through the surgery and now hopefully, we won't have any more complications, fingers crossed.

So, why blog now? Well, a long time ago one of my friends said they loved reading my emails. (ELLE!!!) I asked "why?". She said "oh, I just love the way you write, you just tell it like it is." I said, "well, I just write just like I talk, I guess. Like I'm having a conversation". So, of course, this just seemed like a natural progression. But time gets away from you, what, with 50 hour work weeks, two hour commutes, housework and all the other icky stuff that gets in the way. But here it is.

It's not too flashy. I only know how to do some basic things. But hopefully my friends (KIP!) can help me out.

Enjoy!!!! :)

I leave you with a picture. It's of DH and a statue of Big Black Dick. He's quite a local folklore hero in Grand Cayman and he even has a rum named after him. There are several of these statues all over town.
