Blogger, How I've Missed You So!

I used to have a blog. It was a lovely blog. Then I dumped it. Before hitting that delete blog button, I told my blog, "It's not you, it's me." That's always a lie, isn't it? The truth is, my old blog and I just weren't compatible anymore.

Like most blogs, it all started out great. I posted about cosmo martinis and Malibu Ken's advantage over Tightie-Whitie Ken. Ah, such fun were those early days. But then I made a few mistakes along the way, and over the course of a few months, my blog turned into something I no longer wanted to be associated with. *sniffle*

All is not lost, though. I have a new blog now: The Sassy Pants Factor. Yippee! No, I do not wear sassy pants. Don't have the small hips or stuck-in-the-80's fashion sense for it...mostly I stick to jeans and black pants. Not so sassy, I know. I just like to say "sassy pants." Go ahead, say it out loud. Fun, isn't it? Anyhow, I did indeed learn a few key things about my blogging preferences from my first blog.

Here is what I have learned:

When blogging, take off my "serious writer" hat and just let it be a blog.
Do not edit my blog numerous times for typos and grammatical errors. That takes too long.
Be weary of fellow bloggers who stumble upon my blog and draw me into their blog so they can get more comments.
It sucks the joy right out of blogging when I stop writing about what I want to and start posting about what I think everyone else will want to read.
Make sure to have a work-type window minimized and ready for quick access while posting or reading blogs at work. (I had to minimize this window twice before I was able to fully type out that sentence - no joke)
Save all html coding passed along from bloggers who actually know html so I can have links and fun stuff in my blog. If anyone has that coding for me, let me know. I didn't save it from my last blog and I want links, dammit! :-(
Most importantly, have fun with it and don't take myself too seriously on here. Woo-hoo!

This blog is my silly space. I have no intentions of posting anything deep or meaningful here, even if I accidentally do. So, if you're looking for well-written substance, go elsewhere. If you want to share in my random observations and spazzy stories about day-to-day life, then read on.
