The first post

For some unexplainable reason, I have felt this driving need to start blogging recently.  I can't understand why I suddenly care to put my random thoughts and stories on "paper", so to speak, but I do.  Perhaps it is because my life always seems just a couple steps away from complete anarchy, or because I feel like I'm a couple comments away from being committed for life.  Either way, this may be a waste of time, or it may be a good outlet for me and a humorous random read for you.  Let's get started, shall we?

Some topics I plan on talking about:  my crazy family, my insane job(s), my neurotic dogs, and my adventures in cooking and gardening.  I will post recipes I have tried or made up on the spot, with pictures if I remember to take them at the appropriate times (crapshoot on that, really).  I will post our garden as it progresses from little seedlings just coming up out of the ground to a complete jungle that seems to lack any semblance of organization but is really a study in organized chaos that feeds our family all year round (if we are lucky).  I will post funny stories, quips, quotes, and scientific mumbo jumbo that I find fascinating, but that my husband (non-scientist extraordinaire) finds dull and uninteresting.  I find his job dull and uninteresting, too, so we are in the same boat there.  We just play the part and act interested when required. You know how it goes.

So, that's the plan.  I welcome comments and suggestions.  We'll see how it goes!
