Introductions

In the interests of not driving anybody crazy, I will do my very best to capitalize things that are most appropriately capitalized, since in my personal typings I tend to let Microsoft Word do that kind of work for me.

Oh, and hello, Internet!

My name is Sarah.  Pretty much all of my friends have blogs, and while I like to claim that I’m not a bandwagon kind of gal, I have been in both bands and wagons, and I’m jumping on the compound version of those two words.  And have I mentioned that these blog-writing friends (and their blogs) are pretty amazing?  One is devoted to craftivism and living responsibly and organically.  Another chronicles the adventures of her family and self.  Yet another has delved into the mid-sixties to listen to music, real-time-style, because of his love for the Beatles.  And anther fancies himself a renaissance man (which he totally is).

So what will this blog be?  (she asks herself.)

I don’t have a niche.  Here are the categories under which I fall:

1. Grammarian (see my non-dangling participle in the previous introductory sentence?)
2. Mother of two
3. Co-sleeping
4. Breastfeeding
5. Teacher
6. Graduate student
7. Social justice
8. Avid television watcher
9. Reader
10. Wannabe writer
11. Artist
12. Doodling
13. Procrastinating
14. Member of crazy family
15. Work commuting
16. Closeted Perez Hilton devotee
17. Bargain shopping
18. Coupon-clipping
19. Crafts
20. Former twitterer
21. Failed dieting/exercising
22. Foodie
23. Chicago
24. Traveler
25. Wannabe traveler

And the list goes on.  In the interest of not losing you, dear reader, let me cut to the cliched chase: I don’t want to bore you.  And if you are bored, stop reading.  Goodness knows that you can bore yourself; you don’t need me to do it for you!

My goal is to share whatever spews forth from my mind with only one rule: Be heart-breakingly honest.  It has become my number two rule.  (first rule: LOVE.  Yes, it’s a verb.)  I don’t cheat at card games, and I try really hard not to lie to anyone (with the exception of my students, sometimes).

My goals for this weblog (a term I just discovered today!  The word blog comes from “weblog”!  Imagine that!) are these:

A. Post at least once a week.
B. Be interesting.
C. Learn how to post pictures, which I feel will greatly enhance my bloggery.

Now that you’ve read about me, I’d love to learn about you, dear reader.  You may be one of few (perhaps one of one), but if you’ve taken the time to read this far, you deserve some recognition.  I encourage you to comment below or to email me (sarah.lovinggood@gmail.com), but only if you want to.  This could be the beginning of a beautiful, cliched friendship!

Love, Sarah.
