Happy Spring

We are officially entering my favorite time of year...SPRING! Not that today looks or feels much like spring and not that we really get a real spring in Baltimore (usually a week and a half to two weeks and then the humidity sets in...), but either way, I am happy that Winter is technically done with. Wahoo!

Get Rid of the Fuzz Factor (a.k.a. why I am a sucker for advertising)

I came home the other day and I told Greg that I had bought a new tube of Colgate Total toothpaste. We've all seen the commercials, it is supposed to get rid of the "fuzz factor" on our teeth. I told Greg as much. He laughed and reminded me once again that I am a huge sucker for advertising campaigns.

As I walked into the bathroom I thought to myself that Greg was wrong. This was different. I had really been feeling that I needed a new toothpaste (besides the fact that we were down to the very last squeezable drop in the current tube) and I wanted to try something fresh and new that would keep my teeth feeling good for a few hours after I brushed. I just happened to see the commercial at the right time in my life.

Yep, I held onto that righteous indignation all the way into the bathroom. And it kept going as I placed the new tube of toothpaste on the sink. And it came to a screeching halt as I threw away the old tube of...Colgate Total. *Me looking sheepish*

Gotta get back in the saddle

It is really hard to get back into blogging when you haven't done it in a while. Over the past few days I have thought of blogging about various things but I kept thinking, "I haven't blogged in so long, what a stupid thing to write about." It is almost like starting new- I have the same feelings of insecurity. How stupid. Part of me thinks, If I feel this way I should just not make my blog public. The other part of me thinks that I enjoy getting feedback from my friends and family who read it and mention different posts to me. I have also enjoyed making various "friends" in the blogosphere. I rarely check my stats page anymore, because I don't care whether I have 10 or 100 hits in a day and I don't really care whether a stranger happens upon this blog and comments that they like it (which isn't to say that if you are a stranger who happens upon this blog you shouldn't comment that you like it...;) ).

I am just going to stick to the description at the top of this blog: Nothing too earth shattering, but important to me. I am not going to take myself too seriously. This will make things a whole lot easier!

Oh, a BIG Congratulations to Maphet, the man who makes Baltiblogs possible, and his wife Amy on the birth of their son, Samuel. I hope they enjoy parenthood and all that comes with it!
