Why? Because I\u2019m the most technologically challenged person you will ever meet!  So\u2026. As I\u2019m typing this, it will just be a surprise to both of us if I\u2019ve actually figured how how to post this!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>WHY THEN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I knew exactly how to answer that!  We will just leave it at\u2026\u2026 because I feel like I\u2019m supposed to.  I know that\u2019s not really an answer.  All, I know is here we are! (Maybe\u2026.if I can figure out how to post it). I\u2019ve felt this \u201cpull\u201d for a while now\u2026\u2026..but what if I\u2019m wrong?  Yikes!  It doesn\u2019t have to be a \u201cperfect\u201d blog.  I can assure you it won\u2019t be!  I gave up on perfect but what if it\u2019s a total FLOP?!? What if no one reads it?  Even worse, what if people read it and are critical? This is why I\u2019ve put it off for so long!  I\u2019m the type person that gets so afraid of failure, that I\u2019m \u201cparalyzed\u201d from starting something!  I\u2019m working on this!  For example\u2026..even things like cleaning house.   If I can\u2019t do a thorough job\u2026..a perfect job\u2026.then I just don\u2019t do anything!  I\u2019m paralyzed and before you know it, we are having to drive to the local Texaco to use the bathroom because mine are so nasty!  Not really, but you get the point!  Like I said, I\u2019m working on this and we will revisit that subject later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CONTENT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ha!  Who knows?!?  Everyday \u201cstuff\u201d.  I like to talk!  I talk so much I get on my own nerves sometimes!  In the comment section, my third grade report card read\u2026\u2026\u201dMandy is a good student but she talks too much\u201d.   Next report card\u2026.. \u201cTalky Talky\u201d.   Next report card\u2026.\u201dStill Talking\u201d.  Ouch!   Let\u2019s just focus on the \u201cgood student\u201d part!  In my defense, she was a really hard teacher and obviously did not appreciate my \u201cgift of gab\u201d.  That being said, I know everyone does not appreciate this \u201cgift\/curse\u201d.  The good news is you do not have to read it!  If you do choose to join me on this adventure, please don\u2019t let me embarrass myself too bad!  Be a good friend.  Tell me if I have something hanging out my nose! This is not considered critical so thanks in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for visiting!  We will talk more later. <br>Mandy<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WELCOME! If you are seeing this, it\u2019s a miracle! Why?
