I looked at the calendar yesterday and realized that I'm 22 days away from turning 26-years-old (that has now been updated to 21 days). Not that this is shocking or really that upsetting, that hit last year when I turned 25. The downward slide to 30 is quickly picking up speed. Yikes!

Anyways - the first point of my first trial post on my first trial blog is mostly to keep myself aware of what is going on around me. As a youngster, in college, even last year, I wrote about what was happening in my life. Not only was it a good reflection exercise, it helped me to remember what happened when (even though I will admit that I have a freakishly good memory for things like that).

The other point is to use this as some sort of tracking device for both my grandma's (I do a really bad job of calling), my aunts and uncles, cousins, my friends (only if they're really, really bored), and my parents (sure... why not, right?).

I promise I won't get too "Dear Diary," but also know that I write like I'm writing/talking to someone... and while that may make me weird, it does not mean that I've been diagnosed as medically insane. I've written that way my whole life and I have yet to be put in a padded room :)

Until my second trial post...
