theswansneck

I’ve made a goal to start a blog this 2011 and to write in it at least once a week- to be clear: most likely once a week (I can do that).  52 entries, come 2012.  That’s sayin somethin.

Allready, it took quite a bit of time just to come up with a good name for the blog, here were some other thoughts:

marmalade                       (cute and wonderfully bright)

acertainslantoflight          (more about Emily Dickinson later…)

thinkingoutloud                (what I’ll be doing on this blog)

maven                               (sharing a good come by)

But all these were taken.  I’m trying to put a finger on why I came up with theswansneck, but I can’t.  I swear it just came to be and seemed right.  So if you’re wondering what the title means… so am I.

What will I put on these pages?  Randomness.  There is no particular theme.  I’ll come across something I think is interesting and post it.  I have to admit, I worry about nobody else finding these things interesting, and then I’ll look at myself in the mirror and realize that I really am odd.   … But this blog is more about me and the process I’ll go through in obtaining this goal- like learning what a “widget” or “askimet” is and I’ve even created a gravatar, which makes me look smooooth.  And to have to organize my thoughts and write and be just a little bit creative… is good for me.

To my husband, two brothers and three sisters:  I hope you read.  You MUST read, you are the only audience I can demand.  Thank-you.  It’s just 2011, you know.  I will buy you all a concrete at Nielsen’s come the end of the year. (motivation enough!?)

and that’s the first post.
