This is my first blog, and thus, my first blog post. It feels good to start something new. Brand new haircut, check. Renewed confidence in who I am, check. New outlook on life, well, almost a check.
In trying to define the purpose of this blog, as more than just a place to share introspective thoughts and personal quandries, I plan to share updates from my various hobbies and preoccupations. I dabble in gardening, am finishing my Ph.D. in biomedical science research, am applying for my DVM, and grew up around a huge menagerie of animals. If nothing else, this blog will be a journal, an outlet to reduce stress, and a chance to put my new digital camera to work to entertain you with great images of pets, travels, plants, and all the other little things that make me me.
Join me on my quest to learn how to cook more flexibly, without following recipes line by line. I'm learning to be more creative in the kitchen, and I'm always on the look-out for additional bread baking recipes (which I do follow to a T).
Help me stop procrastinating when it comes time to write serious things. Why is it so easy to write emails but I stare at the blank Microsoft Word document for an hour before a good thought comes along? Why does scientific writing have to be so dry?
In just two weeks, I'll begin my 12-week 1/2 Marathon training plan from Hal Higdon's website (www.halhigdon.com/#half) and you can follow me through the ups and downs this year, hopefully injury-free!
And you can follow along as I seek to add a good man to my life while still keeping up with my hobbies and maintaining the things that make me unique.
As Charlie the Unicorn's "friends" would say, "It'll be an adventure!"
