Let's Slow Things Down
My oldest son started kindergarden today and my youngest son turned two yesterday. It seems like my daughter (7) was just born yesterday. I'm closing in on my 11th wedding anniversary. Wow, can't we just slow things down?
Well, this is my very first blog so I really don'y know what I am doing. I just thought I would put something on here for now and then stop back in later. My friend has sorta got me into this whole idea so I thought I would at least have my own Blog so I can express, praise, gripe, cry, vent or whatever now and then.

Wahooo! I can post!! :).
Ok, my friend, you're getting ready to embark on a fun ride, so buckle your seatbelt! Bloggers are INSANE!
I KNEW it was just a matter of time til you got your own...you're a "good" commenter, and that's usually the first step towards publishing your own blog.
AND HERE IT IS! SOOOO GLAD I'M THE FIRST FRIEND TO WELCOME YOU OFFICIALLY TO THE BLOGOSPHERE!
(Gracious...have I used enough exclamation marks in this comment? How lame...)
Rock on...cycle on...blog on :)
(p.s. Thanks again for dinner last night--can't think of anyone else we'd rather spend a night at the circus with;) ) ~love y'all
Well hello sailor. Are you new around here?
Don't worry about your first few posts, they'll come out like crap but nobody reads them anyway. It gets easier as you go.
here's some hints regarding your last paragraph.
express - good fun for you, but unless whoever's reading it agrees, you won't see them again.
praise - if its your readers fine, if its god see 'express'.
gripe - this one's fine, everyone loves to see someone else having a tough time, its called Schadenfruede (sp?).
cry - the wimmin love this.
vent - do it with humour.
Most of all have fun. Good luck.
I was going to write that your first post sounded similar to Willowtree's first post, but I see he already stopped by. He quickly rose to internet stardom and now receives more traffic than me. *pout*
I second the notion to have fun! This is your home.. decorate it as you like.
Welcome to the blogosphere!
Willowtree is trollin' for male commenters :D
Should I tell him that you're metro, Chas?
Actually, I LAUGH at the thought of my first few. You're already off to a better start...YOU HAVE FREAKIN' COMMENTS! (I didn't go public til six months after I started writing...sheesh!)
Wow! Comments already. Thanks for stopping by. Willowtree is probably right, these first few will be bad. Stardom huh? Haven't figured out the whole posting pictures and stuff and not real sure I want to. Just to let you know how to pronounce my name properly, it's Chas-sounds like "ChAWz" not your typical "ChAZZ" Me being from the heart of dixie this is close to how many pronounce my real name anyway. Wait, maybe I should be posting about this topic. Oh well, I'll get there. Thanks again for stopping by.
Metro isn't exactly how you should be describing me in blogoshere this early in the game Mrs Robin. What is that based on anyway? Is it simply looks, dress, tone of voice:), shopping habbits? I have yet to figure that one out. Someone let me know what that really means, because I don't think I fit that description.
My son was in the Navy for 4 years. He has been married for 8 years and has an 8, and a 3 year old boys, and a beautiful 5 month old little girl. Good luck with blogging, I'll be back to read your post.
I have a tough time reading light words on dark background. (old eyes)
Now there! You've had your first criticism! Over. done with. Move on.
Do you ride bicyles? Is that why you are "cycle-on" (my hubby rides)
.... don't tell me.. it has something to do with your new frontload washing machine, no noo... your wife's time of the month, uh.. maybe... howling at the moon. รดรด
oh.... oops! I just saw the bikes in your 'about me'
like I said. Old eyes.
welcome
Well, Chas - you are a lucky one. Welcome to the blogosphere - and since Robin linked you up you already have more readers than I do (and that is counting my mom!)
Enjoy the ride - some days its a doozy!
WHOAH - and word verification is:
lsbeijm - as in lets begin?
Jeezus, you got 10 comments on your first post!! You better get good quick!
I am new to the blog thing too, I am not much on "clean" words :) Good luck with your blog :)
Chas, can't help you with "metro"...by definition it means the primate of ecclesiastical province, but not sure if that's what Robin is going for. Maybe she'll enlighten ya!
Metrosexual: "An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle."
"Boiled down to its essence, the term refers to a man who loves to indulge and pamper himself -- going against the stereotype of men as boorish slobs with questionable grooming habits."
So, Chas....is that you? Or should I ask Robin?
hehe, Susan...do I dare tell? Paybacks, my dear, paybacks. He KNOWS where I live!
Perhaps we're merely talking footwear, Chas. The thought of you pampering yourself is funny (picturing you spinning til you drop). And, you're HARDLY boorish :).
There is that slight bike indulgence, tho..........
Did I tell you who Shelly is???
I actually do like to indulge and pamper myself but who in their right mind wouldn't! As far as questionable grooming habits, there's no question about that. I shower once a week whether I need to or not. Being from Alabama, I have three teeth and two of those are in my pocket. I've never had to wear antiperspirant only nice fresh smelling deoderant. Oh well, I guess I am a redneck-metro-sexual. I know Shelly, saw her hanging at SBA yesterday.
Thanks for the education in "metro-sexual"...when you grow up in a one redlight town, you don't know these things!
My hubby laughed at me for not knowing "metro"....so now I feel rather ignorant!!! Think I'll hide under a rock a while :)
Shelly, He is around a bunch of suburbanite middle-schoolers. One should expect him to know what a metro is. I know what one is but just don't like being put into a certain category. Maybe I'll start a new category like "Rural-sexual" or "Good ole-sexual" or something like that. I really think I just have a problem with the term "metro" Wow, this is odd.
I'm laughing....maybe that's why this is so fun! Would we really ever have this conversation in public???? I didn't realize how "out of touch" I was until I started reading Robin's blog. I'm trying to update my knowledge to 2006. It might, maybe, unlikely, improve my odds with my teenagers!
