Getting things off to a good start…I hope
When you are married to a technology guru, you get very interesting love gifts. Some love gifts received in the past include house-designing software, Siberia and Siberia 2 (both excellent games that I was addicted to and finished in less than a week a piece). The Sims 2, and my all time favorite thus far, the M*A*S*H DVD Box set. I am a HUGE M*A*S*H fan, and when my husband asked me whether I liked my 23rd birthday/6th anniversary present, I simply pointed to my tearing eyes and said “Hello! Tears!”
So that’s what we wives of technology gurus get as presents. Software, and the occasional amazing DVD box set. This time, I was having a very hard week and feeling rather useless and not very good at anything, so my beloved decides to get me……a dot com. That’s right, my own domain…with blogging software to boot.
We’ve been talking about getting this website going for a long time. A place for me to use my creative juices and displaying my writings…maybe even possibly drawing in some revenue. But yesterday, in an attempt to distract his mind from the current vehicular drama, my beloved put HIS creative juices to work and got my domain registered as well as comparing and contrasting web blogging software to make sure I got the most versatile, fun to play with, software to meet my needs.
1000 Hannah points to anyone who can figure out where my name comes from. 
I can’t remember whether Kaleb or I originally came up with it, but I do remember feeling especially clever.
So now the problem is that I have a new distraction. Just what I need.
So here’s what I expect you can be expecting with this new outlet for my creative and emotional juices….
- Daily or semi daily entries describing what God is doing in my heart and mind, or possibly just really random stuff that entered into my line of consciousness that I feel is necessary to share, attempting to be transparent, yet tactful…for my husband’s sake.
- Weekly additions to a story line that I have been conjuring up for such an occasion. I am hoping this will become something that parents who read my blog will be able to share with their children, and that their children will look forward to.
- A sample of my child focused writing that I am hoping will be miraculously discovered by someone capable and passionate about publishing quality children’s literature.
- Random and yet not random connection of people, who can support, build up, and share, enriching each other’s lives.
So, is that a good start? I think so. And now I am hoping to learn the ins and outs of this editor so that I can really make this thing schnazzy.
Blessings to all.
Hannah
