Much ado about nothing

I have talked about it for some time. I have made excuses and I have wrestled with  ideas. You know the old adage s?*$# or get off the pot...Well I did it folks, I took the plunge,  I got off the fence,I bit the bullet...ok enough colloquialisms. Five points though for the big word. This is the blog I have put so much hype into. I pray I don't bore y'all to death. I swear I had a gazillion ideas for posts until tonight and now Nada.  I carried my camera around the house and snapped a bunch of really pathetic pictures then Annie ( my daughter) took them and magically made me a header. I don't know how to do that and she assures me I never will have to. It is called old... I learned computer in college at a data processing class where we took data cards to a building to see if they would run. What was that? I remember nothing. Then when I was pregnant with my youngest (24years ago) I took a class at the local Jr. college with one of  my sisters. We were so bad at it and then gloriously our prayers were answered. The school went on strike and the class was canceled. It resumed too close to my due date for me to finish so I got a refund. I know it was divine intervention. My skills have barely progressed. So bear with me. I hope to add pictures to this post. We shall see....
Also breaking news- I got a new phone today. I had an orange construction worker phone, really b/c  I was hard on phones and the salesman recommended it for me. . My contract was up and I decided to move up to a better one. My friend , Jamie, who is 17 years younger than I (clue #1), recommended a Blackberry. It arrived and my kids all said 'Oh, no!"(clue #2) How hateful, but now I am beginning to think oh, no! I can answer calls and well, that's it for now. I will master it though. I remember how hard the DVR seemed when we got it and now I am a pro. I will survive. I will prove those doubting Thomases wrong! But for now please don't text me and expect an answer.So this is it for the first blog post. I am off to watch the dvd thingie that came with my phone... does it go in the side of the laptop? Until next time... xoxo
PS I can't remember how to post a picture.... Annie????

1) I had NO idea I was 17 years younger than you...I've been telling people 15. Since that would make me 37, and I'm convinced I'm 33 when in reality I'm 35 I think I'm just going to tell people we are 7 years apart like me and John (easier to remember)...so you are now 42, enjoy. Why is it only me who struggles to remember my age? I blame Shelbyville math teachers and the crap they sprayed on the swamps back in Nam
2) You WILL love and conquer your blackberry if I have to do tutorials every night and multiple texts everyday. You. Can. Do. This.
3) I love your blog, and so will others...you know what they say, if you babble, they will come...

"Oh, I did it , I started a blog." Whatever. I can't believe you just casually tossed that out there in a comment after all this time. Where were the trumpets? The drumrolls?

Yay for Janie! I believe anything is possible now!

Janie, I came over via your friend Lynn,
I also became a follower. I have been doing mine now for 2 yrs and I love it. You will meet so many sweet and caring people. I know that I have.
I see that we have the same problems in common.If I can't figure it out I just go to the grandkids.
It also makes them feel needed and so much smarter that grandma.

All the techy stuff you'll learn. At least you have your daughter to help you. I had to figure it all out on my own...yikes!

First let me say I love your blog and have been reading it for awhile! I just started one of my own and I was just wondering how long it took for you to get comments....since I've gotten only 2...:(...but my goodness look how many you have on your first post!! Looks like I need to be friends with your friend Lynn...lol. Anyway, I'm new to all of this so I wanted to learn from some of the best like you and the Coopkeeper...:) Mine is My Ordinary Country Life and I hope to be as good as y'all one day. Have a great day!
